Help Stop Cruelty to Animals in China October 08, 2007 3:57 PM
TO: All People Who Care
There has been much attention on the trade in cat and dog fur recently. This is an issue that has struck a chord with consumers and politicians alike, reflecting a widespread repugnance at the idea of wearing the skin and fur of companion animals.
Investigations by animal welfare organisations have revealed the suffering caused to millions of animals by this trade. Many cats and dogs are killed inhumanely in countries such as China where there is little or no animal welfare legislation.
The European Parliament has finally adopted a Regulation to ban the import into the EU of cat and dog fur. The move ends many years of campaigning by animal welfare organisations and politicians to end a trade which causes terrible animal suffering. The ban will apply from 31 December 2008.
The Ban will not stop the fur trade, only in Cats and Dogs, but the barbaric treatment can be stopped.
The offending countries must improve welfare standards for all animals if it wants to do business with Europe. They must provide resources to help the Fur producers to find alternative incomes which do not involve animal cruelty. This will encourage investment from developed countries who can also help.
Please keep the pressure up and do what you can to help.
Contact your own governments to put political pressure on the offending countries.
All UK Citizens please sign this petition to the Prime Minister

I, too, have read the recent article about Kay Kessing, and have signed the petition. I had never heard of her before this, but believe me, had I heard of her I would have actively encouraged anyone reading her books to stop and inform them of this person's (the appropriate word for what she is doing to feral cats escapes me) monstruous cruelty and ask them to spread the information around. I think of all the beautiful cats that I've seen on websites on Care2 and on other websites and it just sickens me to think of the possibility of something like this happening to them - if they had the misfortune to be a feral cat. - Janice P.

WANTED: YOUR SIGNATURE ON PETITION TO FIGHT PET OVERPOPULATION! An estimated five million cats and dogs die each year in United States shelters alone. Imagine the impact that a low-cost, easy-to-administer sterilization procedure would have on the homeless pet population. Imagine preventing the needless killing of homeless cats and dogs.... You can help make it happen!
The Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D) is sponsoring a petition in order to demonstrate demand for non-surgical contraceptives for cats and dogs. Many people haven’t even considered the possibility of sterilizing without surgery, though various methods have been available for humans and wildlife for decades. But it will be possible—if we can demonstrate demand for these products to pharmaceutical companies, scientists, regulators and funders. Please take a moment to sign the petition and declare your support for the development of non-surgical sterilization procedures. We signed it, too—along with many other national humane groups.

From: Rob Hall Date: 05/22/06 00:46:36 Subject: [CatProtection] Gibraltar Cats
Hello
The Gibraltar Cat Welfare Society has been running a 'Snip a Stray' scheme for the last 18 months. So far they have neutered over 700 cats. These cats can easily be identified by their clipped ear, which allows the Cat Welfare Society to monitor the cat population without wiping them out completely.
Sadly, there are other people in Gibraltar that feel it necessary to destroy these valuable vermin controllers. The Cat Welfare Society feels that if this continues then within 5-10 years there will be no cats left on Gibraltar which will inevitably create health and hygiene issues with rats, mice and cockroaches.
The Cat Welfare Society is asking the Government of Gibraltar to make the neutered cats 'free citizens' of Gibraltar, protecting them from harm and allowing them to carry out their natural roles within the community of keeping rats, mice and cockroaches at bay.
I have created an online version of their petition to enable more people to sign it.
