Thanks for your work.
ANIMAL LIBERATION NOW.
:MZ:

You realize if this doesn't pass, "The Terminator" Gov. Schwarzenegger, will make the six days from pound to slaughter to THREE DAYS-which means every pound pet will be 100% killed, often with GAS (they choke to death and drown in their own vomit).  IF THIS BILL DOES NOT BECOME LAW-the pet slaughter will be most serious and grave-the dump yards will be piled higher and higher literally TONS of dead dogs, cats, puppies and kittens-perfectly adoptable pets will be slaughtered all because there are not enough homes for them. THIS SB 250 IS THE ONLY HOPE THEY HAVE

Call the Assembly members EVERY DAY, including all day Tuesday when this is voted on. The opposition (breeders, puppy mills) is calling every day several times a day. Phone calls are worth 1,000 e-mails! If this passes in California, other states will follow!!! CALL CALL CALL!!! Leave a message at night when you get free calling on your cell phone. Then, call during the day and speak to an aide. This is it!!! Let's stop the killing!!!

Your a big inspiration to me.

China city kills 36,000 dogs after rabies deaths
Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:59am EDT
BEIJING, June 16 (Reuters) - A Chinese city has killed 36,000 stray and pet dogs in a bid to wipe out rabies, state media said on Tuesday, as the country considers a draft law recognising animal rights and making such a cull illegal.
International animal rights groups have criticised China for cruelty, saying millions of animals raised for their pelts, including cats and dogs, are mistreated and inhumanely killed.
Raising dogs was banned under the rule of late Chinese leader Mao Zedong as a bourgeois pastime and was only made legal a few years ago as living standards rose.
Animal protection organisations expressed concern over the Hanzhong cull.
"The mass removal of dogs can result in the increased movement of dogs of unknown disease status from surrounding areas, thereby actually facilitating disease transmission and increasing the threat to human and animal health," Peter Williams, China director for the World Society for Protection of Animals, was quoted as saying.
China's first law to recognise "animal welfare" and include domestic animals is in the draft stage.

"Once it gets passed, the abuses of animals, such as the Hanzhong dog killings, is expected to stop," Chang Jiwen, a professor who led the drafting team, was quoted as saying. (Reporting by Beijing newsroom; Editing by Nick Macfie)

That's some geese who were about to get gassed.


That's some geese who were about to get gassed.


A flock of animal-rights activists organized outside Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Upper East Side townhouse yesterday, outraged as geese were rounded up to be gased.

“Hey Bloomberg what do you say? How many geese did you gas today?,” shouted protesters.

For the next six weeks the city and the Port Authority are paying federal wildlife officials to trap and gas two thousand Canada geese.  Yesterday the city rounded up at least 40 of them.

“The Mayor says he wishes them sweet dreams, one of the most obscene statements a public official has ever made," said Wayne Johnson from the Coalition to Stop the Canada Goose Kill. "Does he really think going into a gas chamber means sweet dreams.”

MAYOR BLOOMBERG JOKES AS HE GASSES GEESE TO DEATH-HE DOESN'T LIKE THEM. THESE GEESE WILL CHOKE AND DROWN IN THEIR OWN VOMIT AND DIE PAINFULLY
