The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) continues its traditional role of preventing cruelty by direct action of law enforcement. In addition, however, the ASPCA recognizes that achieving its vision of humane communities across the United States will require education, advocacy and other forms of intervention that support the beneficial relationship between people and animals.

The ASPCA has been and continues to be wholly committed to effecting change through nonviolent approaches. The ASPCA does not believe that threats, destruction of property or violence appropriately express the nature of a movement that endorses kindness and respect.

Although the ASPCA was founded to protect New York City’s working horses, its mission, as stated by Henry Bergh, has always included all animals in the United States. In 1866, the ASPCA was the only organization in North America dedicated to animal protection. Since that time, however, many additional humane organizations have been created to protect specific kinds of animals, such as farm animals, marine animals and wildlife. As a result, since 2001, the ASPCA has been able to focus on companion animals. The ASPCA is concerned with welfare issues of animals in the following categories:

- Companion animals

- Food animals and livestock

- Animals in research and education

- Animals in entertainment, sport and work

- Wild animals

In each of these areas, the ASPCA has developed policies that express the society’s view regarding the appropriate treatment of animals. The ASPCA’s policies are grounded in the belief that animals are inherently deserving of our respect, compassion and consideration of their needs. The ASPCA’s policies are based on empirical evidence and are supported by scientific research that establishes animals’ capacity to feel pain and suffer.

The ASPCA believes that whether or not to consume animals, and animal products such as milk and eggs, is a personal and private determination that must be left to each individual. However, the ASPCA firmly believes that animals who are bred, raised and killed or harvested for human consumption, like all animals, are entitled to protection from distress and suffering during their lives and at the time of their deaths.

ASPCA policies are articulated by senior staff and are reviewed and approved by the society’s board of directors.

Dubject : Against the use of live animals in Baystate's Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)

 luz.sullivan@baystatehealth.org,  patrick.lee@bhs.org

 

 Dear sir,


 

Please replace the use of live animals in Baystate's Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program with an American College of

Surgeons-approved alternative such as the TraumaMan System. Baystate's state-of-the-art medical simulation center, which currently

owns TraumaMan, affords you the opportunity to transition to nonanimal training methods.

 

Sincerely.

--------------------

The Nutcracker Christmas shop is selling stuffed toys - polar bears - made out of fur (which they claim to be goat's hide but most probably rabbit fur). Please email nutcracker and ask them to take these off their shelves!


Email address and a sample letter below!


 


Email:info@nutcrackerchristmasshop.co.uk

Dear Sir or Madam,


I was appalled to learn that you stock real-fur items (ref: polar bear stuffed animal).


Opinion polls conducted over the last 10 years have consistently shown that more than 70% of people in the UK reject fur and only 4% own anything made from fur.


Killing for fur often employs brutal methods - gassing, neck-breaking, anal and genital electrocution are commonly employed methods for killing – not because these are the most humane but because they preserve the pelt – the most profitable part of the animal.


I am asking you to take the real-fur items off - and be listed as a compassionate and ethical retailer, so I and other shoppers can shop at your store with confidence.

 

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully,


[Name]
[Address]

Dear sir/madam,

I am appalled that the Toro de Fuego still takes place in Medinaceli, Spain.

Setting fire to a live animal is cruel and unnecessary. Entertainment or art never justify torture. Animal cruelty is not acceptable as entertainment or tradition in the 21st Century.

I urge Spanish officials to enforce stronger animal cruelty laws that shield animals from all forms of abuse, including vulgar rituals and blood fiestas.

Sincerely,

---------------

Subject: Please stop sponsoring the cruel Iditarod race
To: Steve_Berglund@trimble.com




Steven W. Berglund, CEO
Trimble Navigation Limited

935 Stewart Drive Post
Sunnyvale, CA 94085


 


Subject: Please stop sponsoring the cruel Iditarod race


 


Dear Mr.Berglund,


 


Beauty Without Cruelty is an international educational charitable trust which works for the cause of animal rights. Many BWC members have informed us about the cruelties inflicted on dogs in Iditarod races. Mentioned below are some cruelty facts which are not disclosed by the organizers of these races. We request you to please go through them and consider our request.


 


Training:


As part of their training, many mushers force their dogs to pull very heavy loads, which can cause hip and spine injuries. The Iditarod Trail Committee does not release information about dogs that die after the race.


 


Some dogs are tethered to exercise wheels as part of their pre-race training. Because the dogs run at varying speeds, the slower runners are pulled along by the neck, which causes injuries. Dogs that are tired or ill are forced to run. The number of injuries from the exercise wheel goes unreported.


 


Torture during the race:


Some injuries and disorders that occur during the race include spinal injuries, bone fractures, sore and cut paws, ruptured tendon sheaths, torn muscles, sore joints, dehydration, stress and diarrhea. Intestinal infections occur when mushers feed their dogs food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. When temperatures rise, dog food dropped off and left outside during the race often spoils. On average, 50% of the dogs who start the race cannot make it across the finish line.


 


Inhumane treatment towards the dogs by participants and winners:


Jerry Riley, 1975 Iditarod winner was accused of striking his dog with a snow hook.


In 1996 Rick Swenson's dog died while he mushed his team through waist-deep water and ice. 


 


Dog deaths:


In almost all of the Iditarod races, at least one dog death has occurred. >From the year 1997 a total of 142 dogs have died. These counts are based on the deaths reported. There are many deaths which are not reported.


 


Cruelty in the kennels:


When the dogs are not racing they are kept in kennels where many dogs are treated cruelly. Some kennels have as many as 200 dogs.


 


In most kennels, dogs spend their entire lives chained up to their dog house. In these musher's kennels, a dog can have a chain as short as four feet long. The permanent chaining of dogs is prohibited in all cases where federal law applies.


 


"Killing unwanted sled-dog puppies is part of doing business" Anchorage Daily News, (October 6, 1991). The mushers cull by shooting dogs in the head. An animal who is not properly restrained when the musher shoots suffers an agonizing death. Mushers also cull dogs that are injured in the Iditarod, old but otherwise healthy dogs, or any dog that is not wanted for any reason.


 


No veterinary care:


Mushers who live in small towns where there are no roads and no veterinarians have to fly their dogs in small airplanes hundreds of miles to obtain treatment. This is the reason why many dogs that live in kennels far from veterinarians and animal hospitals don’t receive adequate veterinary care.


 


During the race, veterinarians do not give the dogs physical exams at every checkpoint. Mushers speed through many checkpoints, so the dogs get the briefest visual checks. Instead of pulling sick dogs from the race, veterinarians frequently give them massive doses of antibiotics to keep them running.


 


"Iditarod dogs love running, and race reminds us of history" Thomas Thuneman's. With this reference it needs to be said that the Iditarod race does not honor history. I am sure no organization especially an esteemed one like yours would like to associate themselves with this horrific race. Iditarod is an outrage and we request your organization to stop sponsoring and supporting this race.

Subject : Vietnam's bears

To : info@animalsasia.org
Print, sign and mail/fax to your nearest Animals Asia office  : http://www.animalsasia.org/index.php?UID=P709D24JPR00


The Honourable Prime Minister
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam
Mr Nguyen Tan Dung


Dear Honourable Prime Minister,

I would like to congratulate the Vietnamese Government on your endeavours to help Vietnam's endangered species of Asiatic black bear, and for working in partnership with Animals Asia Foundation to close down bear farms across Vietnam and confiscate illegally-held bears.

In September 2007, 80 illegally-held bears were identified on farms in Quang Ninh Province. Under Vietnamese law they should be confiscated and transferred into the care of a suitable bear rescue centre, such as the one established by the Central Forest Protection Department and Animals Asia Foundation in Tam Dao National Park.

I am concerned to hear that so far only one of these 80 bears has been confiscated and the other 79 are still being held illegally on these farms. I also understand that these farms continue to extract bear bile illegally and sell the bile to overseas tourists, which is a clear contravention of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of which Vietnam has been a signatory since 1994. Illegal bear bile extraction was captured by Vietnam TV1 and shown on national TV in early June 2009.

The Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao National Park has the capacity to receive the 79 bears and Animals Asia has signed an agreement to look after these bears, on behalf of the Vietnamese Government, for the rest of their natural lives. Animals Asia has committed staff and funds and is prepared to take full responsibility for the bears’ veterinary treatment and ongoing management. The Vietnam rescue centre has taken in 29 bears to date and it is ready to take the 79 bears from these farms.

I understand the Central Forest Protection Department in Hanoi has been enormously helpful in encouraging the confiscation of these bears and working with Animals Asia in the construction of the sanctuary which has been developed to hold at least 200 confiscated bears.

Following widespread international publicity of the plight of these 79 bears, all of whom are clearly held in violation of the laws of your country, I write to ask that you order they be confiscated and transferred into the care of Animals Asia’s Moon Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao National Park.

Yours sincerely,

Since most of you know about the deliberate and mass poisoning of dogs in Nizamudin East in Delhi a few days back, here is a follow up on the same. For those who dont know this case, I am attaching the news reports. 2 pictures of a dead dog undergoing post mortem by Friendlicos is also attached here. A delegation of animal lovers had met the Chief Minister, Mrs. Sheila Dixit and she had promised some action, we are told, but as usual today the case stand still like it happens in most cases.


  • In total around 16 dogs, 30-40 birds had died horrible death in this mass poisoning. There may have been cats or other creatures who may have also died, about which we dont know.

  • Also, what if some child or kid had accidentally eaten the same poison which was spread in mass on the roards of the colony and had died too ?

  • hence the matter is of grave importance and must not be taken lightly by both the government and the police. THE POLICE CAN AND SHOULD PUT A REWARD FOR WHOEVER DISCLOSES THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON(S) BEHIND THIS ACT.


  •  

    SAMPLE email to POLICE COMMISSIONER -

     


    ---------- Forwarded message ----------
    From: Anjali Sharma anjalisharma2@gmail.com


    I am forwarding to all of you, the mail that I have written to Y.S. Dadwal, Commissioner of Police, Delhi, with a copy marked to the Chief Minister of Delhi, regarding the Nizammudin East killings of dogs, birds, and other animals.


    Their e-mail addresses are ys.dadwal@nic.in , also at delpol@vsnl.com ; and cmdelhi@nic.in .

     

    I have been told by some Nizammudin East animal lovers that the investigation into the killings by the Nizammudin police is proceeding in sluggish, slow, and unsatisfactory manner.

     

    I am therefore requesting that as concerned citizens, let us flood the Commissioner and the C.M. with protest mails. [Attached for your reference is a scanned copy of the complaint that the AWBI has lodged with the Nizammudin police in this matter. Apparently, an F.I.R. has been registered - but lets see what the police eventually do.]

     

    Incidentally, Dr. Lal's lab has confirmed that the deaths that occured were on account of poisoning.

     


    Am also requesting everybody to write protest mails to the Nizammudin East R.W.A. - their e-mail address is nizeast@gmail.com , and jskohli69@hotmail.com . Apparently, some of the members of the R.W.A. committee are rather keen to scuttle the investigation.

     

    Thank you.

    Dear Sir,

     

    We are deeply concerned about the deaths of around 15 dogs, 30 birds, and other small animals, through deliberate poisoning at Nizammudin East. (Dr. Lal's lab has confirmed that all the deaths were caused by poisoning.)

     

    Apparently, some members of the R.W.A. of Nizammudin East had been inciting and encouraging hostility against street animals, and against the people who tend to and feed street animals.  


     

    We also understand from several residents of the area that though many complaints have been lodged, the I.O. is conducting  the investigation that has been entrusted to him, in a very sluggish manner.


     

    Please note, in Delhi, and even across India, people who respect life - not just human but non-human too - are growing hugely in number.


     

    We will not tolerate animal cruelty, and official apathy.


     

    For those who take animal-welfare laws lightly, we'd merely have them know that animal-welfare laws are 'law' nevertheless ; and 'law' has to be upheld.


     

    (Under Indian law street dogs cannot be killed, or even driven away from the areas / localities that they inhabit. They can merely be sterilized, vaccinated to protect them against rabies, and then returned to the area that they had been picked up from.)


     


     

    Please monitor the investigation. Please ensure that the investigation proceeds lawfully, and that the murderer/s  is/are brought to book.


     



     

    Anjali Sharma, Adv

    CITIZENS FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS


     
    So we have to yet again write to these authorities and implore them to take action. The Delhi Police Commissioner, The Chief Minister and the Resident Welfare Association of Nizamuddin East. Their emails are 

     


    ys.dadwal@nic.in, delpol@vsnl.com, cmdelhi@nic.in, nizeast@gmail.com, jskohli69@hotmail.com

     

    AND PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD EMAILS TO THESE PEOPLE. WRITE YOUR OWN EMAILS EVEN IF THEY ARE ONE LINERS FOR MORE IMPACT. LET THEM KNOW WE GENUINELY CARE AND NOT JUST FORWARD MASS EMAILS.

    Subject : Ban on Denmark's fur production

    Aan: min@fvm.dk, jm@jm.dk, helle.thorning-schmidt@ft.dk, dfkala@ft.dk, margrete.auken@europarl.europa.eu, dan.jorgensen@europarl.europa.eu, press-EN@europarl.europa.eu



    CC: db@dyrenes-beskyttelse.dk, jv@anima.dk Subject : Immediate ban on Denmark's fur industry

    Dear...



    I am writing today with an urgent request to implement an immediate ban on Denmark's fur production. Fur production is an inherently
    vicious and cruel industry, subjecting animals to some of the most exploitative, painful, and agonizing conditions. As has been
    established by the fur farm documentary "Operation X", animals perpetually suffer from painful diseases and neglect; as a final
    obscenity, they are killed in reprehensible manners including gassing, anal electrocution, and skinning alive, selected to maintain
    pelt quality. Furthermore, it is important to recognize that any adopted welfare protocols are extraordinarily inadequate, and, as
    has been demonstrated, are too often ignored due to their cost-prohibitive nature as defined by fur farm owners.

    Although corporations employ glossy portraits and energetic runway demonstrations meant to cultivate appeals to vanity or luxury,
    their actions can no longer be dismissed as justifiable financial strategies. In fact, an ever-growing collective of people are
    taking a stand against the international fur industry, and contrary to the illusions the fur industry perpetrates, its tools include
    documented footage, such as indicated above, and photographic proof, evidence that cannot be disregarded.

    It is difficult to contemplate supporting any country, via tourism or commerce, that excuses such blatant animal cruelty; financial
    gain at the expense of empathy towards sentient beings bears no justification: indeed, our shared histories have witnessed
    significant inequities and judicial sacrifices in the name of profit and greed that today are considered gross offenses.
    An increasing number of countries are therefore listening to a concerned and attentive population that refuses to be complicit in the
    inherently malicious industry of fur farming and are taking progressive steps to ban such an uncivilized practice; countries such
    as Ireland, Italy, and France are all actively engaged in the discontinuation of fur farming.

    I hope this letter finds you willing to scrutinize your owninvolvement in the exploitation of animals and your desire to therefore
    protect, rather than harm, them. Please make the ethical decision to support an immediate ban on Denmark's fur industry.



    Sincerely,

    Subject : The rejection of kangaroo meat imports

    Aan: rusembassy.australia@rambler.ru, rusconsul@lightningpl.net.au, ruscon@bigpond.com, tass@telpacific.com.au, info@rustrade.com.au, volodoms@hotmail.com, volodom@gmail.com

     Dear Sir/Madam

    I am writing to encourage you to continue to reject kangaroo meat
    imports. Since there is no way that kangaroos can ever be farmed, they
    will always be exposed to dust, dirt and bacteria as they are shot in
    the dusty outback at night and, being game meat, many carry exotic
    diseases. Parasites are rife in kangaroos including nematodes. Some
    parasites eat muscles and organs. There is no way kangaroo meat can ever be 'clean' meat, no matter what changes the kangaroo industry makes to the way they process the carcases.

    Of course Australian kangaroo industry representatives will try to
    convince you otherwise because it is their agenda to make a profit.
    These are the people who for decades sold you contaminated meat while saying it was clean. Do you really trust them?

    Please read the information collected from government data on how
    kangaroos are being driven to extinction by this very industry at
    http://www.stopkangarookilling.org . Does Russia really want to be a
    major cause of our national icon becoming extinct? With a simple 'No
    Thanks' to the kangaroo industry, you can do massive good not only for
    our kangaroos but for the health of your people.

    See http://www.nokangaroomeat.org to learn what is wrong with kangaroo meat. I sincerely hope you will study it carefully.

    Thanking you,

    To the attention of Max Mara Fashion Group,



    I send this message to show my support for the campaign against the
    presence of fur trims and fur jackets in the collections of Max Mara
    and the other brands of your company.

    As you may be aware every year dozens of millions animals are raised in small cages and awful conditions to be skinned and transform their
    pelts into trims, hats or jackets sold in shops and collections like
    yours.

    There is a growing number of companies and designers refusing to use
    real fur and i think the same decision is a choice that also Max Mara
    Fashion Group should consider, to create a fashion free of this
    appalling cruelty.

    Until I will see this ethical decision I will take part in the boycott
    of all your brands products and shops and will invite all the people i
    know to do the same.


    Yours,
