4/11/08: Katrina Animal Memorial 2008 — See You In New Orleans!

www.kinshipcircle.org/disasters/

ALERT FROM / REPLY TO:

Jeff Dorson, Founder/Executive Director, Humane Society of Louisiana
stopcruelty11 [at] gmail.com

THANK YOU!

During the 2005 storm season, tens of thousands of people helped our city in its darkest hour — when failed levees and floods stranded thousands of residents and over 50,000 companion animals. A staggering number of animals perished. The loss of human and animal life was incalculable…but we are forever indebted to small and large humane organizations, caring individuals, first responders, municipal animal control agencies, and foundations that came to our aid.

YOU’RE INVITED TO COMMEMORATE THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE KATRINA:

To show our gratitude, I hope you’ll accept my personal invitation to return to the City of New Orleans to commemorate the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. We’ve planned a day-long memorial service… Please help us write one of the last chapters of this difficult period in our nation’s history.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2008 — 10:00 A.M.

Join us to unveil the nation’s first memorial statue honoring animals lost during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In the chambers of the New Orleans City Council, Councilwoman Stacy Head will accept the statue on behalf of the city. We’ve commissioned a respected artist, Mr. Richard Chashoudian… At the ceremony, an invocation will be read along with a special reading by Ed Kostro, poet and author. Authors Allen and Linda Anderson will read from their award-winning book, Rescued: Saving Animals From Disaster. Honorary awards will go to Garo Alexanian and Amanda and Marty St. John of MuttShack for their work during the 2005 storm season and beyond.

PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO HELPS HOMELESS CATS THROUGH TNR!

FEEDERS/TRAPPERS/CARETAKERS OF CATS:

JOIN FERAL CAT CONSORTIUM/THE CAT HELP DESK FOR 1 HR. ON SAT. APRIL 12 TO PLAN TNR IN NOLA!

Contact: Wendy Guidry
FERAL CAT CONSORTIUM/THE CAT HELP DESK
email: mrjames1 [at] earthlink.net
ph: 985-373-5937 or 985-845-2332
www.helpferals.org/

WHAT: The Feral Cat Consortium/Cat Help Desk will be having a short meeting to discuss Trap Neuter Return of feral and free-roaming cats in New Orleans. We are asking for people with experience in cat trapping to please attend.

WHEN: Saturday, April 12, 2008 — from 10:00 am (sharp) to 11:00 am.

WHERE: La Madeleine’s cafe, 3300 Severn (corner of 17th), Metairie. If the weather is nice we will be out front.

GOAL: We hope to increase trapping in New Orleans to really make a difference in the numbers of new kittens born this spring! We need your help to plan an organized effort, respectful of residents and with minimum stress to the cats being trapped.

HOW: To offset gas(!), we will reimburse costs to experienced trappers for cat trapping in New Orleans neighborhoods, and we will eventually branch out to other areas. We will fund the surgeries at our participating facilities, but we welcome your recommendations so we can spay/neuter even more cats!

TEAMWORK: Perhaps some of us can team up to share the burden of trapping and transporting, thus increasing our collective results.

DISCUSS: We are open to new ideas from you! We value your time and energy, and everything you are already doing for cats!

Please RSVP to Wendy if you can attend — or just show up if you can make it! Thank you and we hope to see you there!

IDA: World Week for Animals in Laboratories, April 20 - 26

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

———- Forwarded message ———-
From: In Defense of Animals - takeaction [at] idausa.org
Date: Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Subject: World Week for Animals in Laboratories

World Week for Animals in Laboratories

Make plans to get active during WWAIL: April 20 - 26

Please join IDA to make this year’s World Week for Animals in Laboratories (WWAIL), April 20 - 26, the most compelling and effective year yet in speaking out against the abhorrent use of animals in testing and research.

Although millions of animals still continue to suffer and die in laboratories, there is cause to be hopeful that real change is on the horizon.

A Landmark Agreement

In February, 2008, three U.S. government agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), signed a five-year agreement to create innovative and animal-free methods to evaluate the safety of drugs and chemicals with the goal of phasing out animal tests entirely.

The NRC’s Groundbreaking Report

In July, 2007, the prestigious National Research Council (NRC) issued a report, “Toxicology for the 21st Century,” which outlines a new approach that would rely less on animal studies and focus instead upon in vitro methods. According to the report, “Over time, the need for traditional animal testing could be greatly reduced, and possibly even eliminated someday.”

Broad and sweeping changes are slowly being realized for animals in labs. Yet millions still remain captive in cages, subject to intolerable cruelty. They will not live to see the day that these changes come about, which is why we urgently need you to join forces with IDA and other animal-protection organizations to vigorously work for such a transformation to happen as soon as possible. While there is reason to celebrate, there are still far too many scientists who adhere to obsolete, imprecise, and heartless animal experiments.

Never-Ending Nicotine Experiments

It may be unfathomable, but in 2008, many animals still die in cruel, archaic, and useless nicotine experiments to tests tobacco’s deleterious effects on the body. That’s why IDA has developed our Up in Smoke campaign, which targets experiments that force pregnant and newborn animals to be pumped full of nicotine. This is just one example of the kind of horrendous animal experiments that we need to stop. Sadly, there are many such vile experiments occurring daily in laboratories.

H2-Y0! It’s World Water Day!

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

And since Dr. Stephen Colbert, DFA is just as refreshing as the wet stuff (and also due in no small part to the crazy amount of yard work I have to do today), I’ll let him give you the lowdown on WWD. Here are all five segments of Thursday’s Colbert Report Special ReporT, “Watershift Down: Getting the Sea Monkey off America’s Aqua-Back.”

If you’d like to learn more about World Water Day (this year’s theme: Sanitation), check out www.worldwaterday.org and www.worldwaterday.net. Also, you can read more about the awesome Dean Kamen here. (If you only watch one clip, make it Stephen’s interview with Dean, which is the fourth one down below.)

FARM SANCTUARY NEWS

Tell the USDA: No More Downed Animal Abuse!

The widely-publicized abuse of downed dairy cattle at the Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing Company in Chino, Calif. has upended the meat industry and set the stage for positive change. Those who think the abuses of animals slated for slaughter can continue to go unseen have now been put on notice that the public is watching and growing wary. Let’s make sure the suffering of these animals was not in vain! Let the USDA know that the Hallmark case will not be forgotten and that the treatment of farm animals is a huge priority for the public.

Newborn Calf and his Mother Reunite for Life at Our California Shelter

Days old and barely breathing, Harrison the calf was lying alone in an open field and only hours away from death when he was discovered by a compassionate humane officer in Santa Cruz, CA. The newborn—the son of a cow bred to replenish a small herd of beef cattle—was nonresponsive, bellowing only briefly in pain when the officer checked his vitals and determined that he was in desperate need of medical attention. Read more.

2007 Walk for Farm Animals a Rousing Success

Last fall, more than 2,000 people took to the streets in 46 cities and towns across North America to speak out for farm animals, resulting in the largest and most successful Walk to date! In addition to educating people about the cruelty of factory farming, Walk participants raised over $170,000 to support Farm Sanctuary’s rescue, education and advocacy work. Our sincerest thanks go out to all the compassionate people who helped make this event possible. Read more.

Join us to celebrate the release of Gene Baur’s new book

Photo via Farm Sanctuary

This is a special time for Farm Sanctuary as we celebrate the release of our President and Co-Founder Gene Baur’s new book, “Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food.” The book is being published by Simon & Schuster in March 2008. The book places an urgently needed focus on farm animal issues – making a call to action and a call for compassion. It is certain to touch readers through its unique approach and inspiring personal stories of hope.

“Some of the stories Gene Baur tells will break your heart and others will speak to your deepest convictions. It’s a book about appalling cruelty and heroic kindness, and it points the way to a better world.” ~ Alicia Silverstone

“Filled with hope, this book is written for all who strive for a more compassionate world. I highly recommend it.” ~ Dr. Jane Goodall

For additional details about the book, visit www.genebaur.com/. Farm Sanctuary is hosting two book launch parties in New York and Los Angeles and we hope you will join us!
