SAVE THE DONKEYS OF PIAUÍ (BRAZIL)

Despite of the modernity, in a lot of town in Brazil there is the habit to use animals for transportation. Oxes, horses, donkeys, work all day long, from the morning to late at night, without  rest. Wounded, thin, they are forced to transport heavy loads. When they are old and tired and they can’t no more work, animals are abandoned along the streets or sent to slaughter houses, and in this case they’ll become food for other animals.

URGE EU TO STOP SUBSIDISING BULLFIGHTS

The EU is supporting the torturing to death of bulls in the bullring and countless other animals in village 'blood fiestas'. We find it absolutely disgusting that a proportion of my tax goes to support animal abuse.

HELP BAN FUR FARMING IN NORWAY

The Norwegian fur industry is continuously trying to present fur farming as unproblematic. During the summer of 2008 activists from Network for Animal Freedom traveled the country to see how the farm animals are actually treated. They inspected more than 100 randomly chosen fur farms in every county where such farms exist, covering over 20 percent of the fur farms in Norway.

OIPA NAPLES

In Italy OIPA is operated throught its Italian branches, from the North to the South.

OIPA Naples was founded on the belief that stray animals are to be treated with the same love and respect as other living beings.

It’s illegal to abandon a pet in Italy. Our branch is very involved in animal legislation relating public safety and animal welfare. By reporting cases of suspected or known animal cruelty they offer to the animals, protection and a second chance. To reduce all forms of cruelty and encourage a more compassionate society we ask each of you to be alert to all forms of neglect and violence. Each of us has the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of neglected and abused animals.

OIPA Naples is solely run by volunteers, and they are always happy to welcome new people who want to help them continue to help homeless animals.
