Dog lovers around the world have reacted in horror to the recent news that the high profile case of pet dog "Bruce" may finally be over as a court orders he be destroyed in a few days time ending an exhaustive twenty one month battle to save him.


======================


FROM TERRY J:


URGENT ACTION ALERT - DDA Watch;

Eleventh Hour Mercy Plea to Save Death Row Dog Bruce

PLEASE CROSSPOST

Urgent Plea for a Pardon/Intervention to Allow Export of Bruce to Eire:
http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/3045/eleventh-hour-mercy-plea-to-save-death-row-dog-bruce/

All that needs to be done to let a friendly dog live is for Bruce to be allowed safe passage from Northern to Southern Ireland and Bruce needs your support again during his eleventh hour.

We are asking supporters to contact the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Shaun Woodward MP) and Ministers urging them to use compassion and discretion by granting Bruce a Pardon removing the penalty imposed – the mandatory death sentence with the provision that Bruce is moved to the rescue placement ready and waiting for him in Southern Ireland. For a nation who claims to be animal lovers this would be the expected outcome.

As the court has ordered that Bruce be destroyed someone will be expected to administer the fatal injection. Veterinary surgeons take a sworn oath and promise to safeguard the welfare of animals committed into their care. In line with this sworn promise we are calling on all veterinary professionals within the UK to take a stand and refuse to kill Bruce - a healthy, wanted animal who poses no danger to the public & has a rescue space waiting for him in Eire. Bruce’s legal owner does not give consent for Bruce to be destroyed.

Please help by contacting the relevant authorities (template letters available) – details below to add your support to “Saving Bruce”.

Those sweet eyes deserve a place to live out her remaining years. Info to rescue/adopt/foster is below.
Rose needs a new home soon, she was taken to Animal Control after owner Rose, a 63-year-old woman dies.


Rose was found in her owner’s unkempt home, which Thrower said was infested with fleas. Rose is sweet and gentle. She has a skin condition on her back from a flea infestation, but workers said it’s treatable.
“She’s very quiet,” Short said. “She doesn’t do a lot of barking.”


PLEASE, CAN ANYBODY HELP THIS SWEET GIRL?

Saving The Cape Fur Seal From Extinction


Target:  The World


INTERNATIONAL CALL TO UN-BAN SEALS FROM A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE ISLAND IN SOUTH AFRICA – NAMED AFTER THEM – ROBBEN ISLAND


By signing this petition, you will assist in restoring this specie of seal back to its evolutionary path, in so doing prevent its extinction, and in the process end 600 years of Seal Clubbing. Loss of natural breeding habitat is the single biggest threat, facing Cape Fur Seals.
    Cape Fur Seals, found nowhere else on earth, except around the tip of Africa, although millions of years old, have not evolved into “True Seals”, and as such, are required to spend up to 50\% of their time on dry-land, to rest, to warm themselves, to mate, to breed and to raise their young.

Namibian Seals Still in Danger - Updates and Petition to Sign




 


Updates from Francois Hugo of Sael Alert-SA and petition to Namibian government to sign. Pledges still needed ASAP!!!

Namibian Seals still in Danger.


Target: Namibian Director of Tourism: Mr.Sem Shikonga


    It has come to our attention that the "business deal" between Hatem Yavus and "Seal Man" Francois Hugo is not a done deal and we are horrified that the innocent lives of thousands of Cape Fur seals is still very much at stake with their fur destined for the popular fur market in the Middle East and China.
    The Namibian Government remains unmoved by this event and insists that it has a constitutional right to do with its "resources" what it will to generate revenue for the country. With the population of Cape Fur seals facing extinction, this will not be for long.
