RSPB allows fox hunting on reserve [Sign Petition]
Mar 20, 2007
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Petition
Location: United Kingdom

Go to the hunting campaign homepageHelp us stop fox hunting on the RSPB's bird reserves

On February 8, this year, the RSPB gave permission for a local fox hunt to pursue and kill foxes on its reserve
at Ynys Hir in Wales. This is despite the presence on the reserve of nesting herons and egrets, and the inevitable disturbance to woodcock and other birds.

The League Against Cruel Sports has criticised the RSPB, saying, "Allowing a fox hunt onto a bird reserve merely serves to endanger the birds living or nesting there. The RSPB's move to allow the hunt was a bad step for conservation and was letting down its members and supporters who had paid for the purchase of the reserve."

The League has also pointed to RSPB Scotland's policy of not allowing fox hunts on their landpolicy of asking people not to take dogs onto reserves.


Following an outcry from anti-hunting campaigners, the RSPB cancelled the hunt "pending a review." The League will be submitting evidence to that review.

Take action today:


Sign our petition to ask the RSPB not to allow fox hunts on their land.


Update:

The RSPB are telling the press that they are allowing fox hounds onto their land just in case the Welsh Assembly
Government instruct them to kill foxes. Even in the unlikely event of this happening,
the League believes that there are many humane methods that do not involve allowing
fox hounds to disturb birds.

Tell Careerbuilder: Chimp actors are NOT funny!
Feb 4, 2006
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Write E-Mail
Location: United States
ACTION ALERT: Please tell Careerbuilder: "Still not funny"
Published: 2/3/2006
  
  
 
It’s Super Bowl time and once again Careerbuilder.com has chosen cruelty over creativity. The company is kicking off a second year-long campaign using an office full of chimpanzee "actors." Here's what you can do:

1) Send an email. Please tell Careerbuilder you are disappointed that they continue to run these ads and have started yet another campaign, even after being informed of the cruelty inherent in the business.

Richard Castellini
Vice President for Marketing
CareerBuilder, Inc.
8420 W. Bryn Mawr Ave., Suite 1000
Chicago, IL 60631
richard.castellini@careerbuilder.com

Note: If you use an email platform such as Outlook, clicking on the email link on the action alert will generate a pre-written email. Feel free to change it and be sure to add your name at the end.

2) Contact customers. You might want to look at the list of companies that utilize Careerbuilder.com. If you contact these companies, consider urging them to voice their concern.

3) Letter to editor. Send a letter to your local newspaper explaining to your community that you refuse to support companies that exploit great ape "actors." (Use this link to find and send a letter to your local paper. You can cut and paste the sample letter found below or write your own, but remember to keep it under 250 words.)

Sample Letter to the Editor:

To the Editor:
In this day and age when great apes can be computer-generated realistically and dramatically in movies like King Kong, I find it disturbing that television ads like those shown during the Super Bowl for Careerbuilder.com still exploit real great ape "actors" for a cheap laugh.

A primatologist conducted a 14-month investigation, and witnessed daily physical, psychological, and emotional abuse of the chimpanzees in the entertainment industry. Chimpanzee "actors" often endure cruel training procedures off the set, despite the AHA’s familiar "No animals were harmed" stamp of approval. The chimpanzees in these ads are babies taken from their mothers at an early age. When their short careers are over most retired great apes can expect to be cast off to a barren cement cage or some other substandard roadside attraction where they will live the last 40 to 50 years of their lives.

Chimpanzees are social beings with extremely complex needs. They do not belong in the entertainment industry. I encourage your readers to read more at www.chimpcollaboratory.org and to avoid companies that trade cruelty for cheap laughs.

[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR HOME TOWN]
[YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION]

REMEMBER: STOP SEAL HUNT: MARCH 06!!
Feb 3, 2006
Focus: Animal Welfare
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Dear Lucy,

I have distressing news: Late this March, Canada will again proceed with the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. During last year’s hunt, nearly 318,000 seals were killed on Canadian ice. A shocking 98.5% were just two months of age or younger -- many of them were probably skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain.

You stood with The Humane Society of the United States in 2005 as we mobilized thousands of supporters to send a clear message to the Canadian government and the fishing industry it tacitly supports: We will not tolerate the cruel slaughter of more than 300,000 seals every year, and we will do whatever it takes to stop it.

Once again, The HSUS will be on the front lines in Canada, fighting this atrocity. You've already signed our pledge to boycott Canadian seafood, and today we need your help to spread the word. Please take just a minute to send a message to your friends and family, asking them to sign the pledge to boycott Canadian seafood.


Don't Buy While Seals Die: Boycott Canadian Seafood.


Help save the baby seals by asking your friends to sign the pledge to boycott Canadian seafood. Your simple act could help end the seal hunt forever.

Every person who signs the pledge adds to the growing number of concerned and outraged individuals worldwide who want this hunt stopped forever. Their collective power is already having an impact. Consider what’s happened since last year’s hunt:

  • The number of restaurants and seafood businesses who have pledged to limit or eliminate their purchases of Canadian seafood has grown to more than 400. They are joined by more than 140,000 individuals.
  • The value of Canadian snow crab exports to the United States has plummeted by more than $160 million -- nearly ten times the value of the seal hunt and a 34% drop since the seafood boycott began.
  • Since the boycott was announced, some of Canada's largest fishing companies have released financial reports revealing drops in profits. Fisheries Products International, Newfoundland's largest fishing company, is losing so much money that it is considering selling off most of its fishing rights.
  • In Europe, where almost all Canadian seal skins are shipped for processing and resale, several nations are taking steps to ban those shipments. At the forefront is Belgium, which has already banned the import of all seal products.
  • Just 23 hours after The HSUS’s 2005 seal hunt footage was aired on national TV, Greenland’s government announced it would stop imports of Canadian seal skins. Canada has exported more than 90,000 seal skins to Greenland over the past two years.
Canada is sensitive to world opinion, and its fishing industry -- which hunts seals in its off-season -- is vulnerable to the choice of hundreds of thousands of people to boycott Canadian seafood. Although we've made progress, our work is clearly not finished. Taking the pledge is simple and effective. The more people who participate, the better chance we have of ending this slaughter once and for all. Click here to urge your friends to sign the pledge!

The first stage of the hunt, set to start in late March, will unfold quickly. Once again, The HSUS will be there with our cameras, showing the world the ugly truth of what happens on the ice. We hope that the newly elected Conservative Party government in Canada will work with us to stop the hunt of hundreds of thousands of baby seals.

You can stay in touch with one of our major animal protection campaigns of the year at www.ProtectSeals.org. There you'll find up-to-the-minute news, videos, and actions throughout the hunt.

I know that it's painful to think about this awful abuse, but your involvement and action are critical to ending it. Thank you for joining us today in our fight to abolish the cruel seal hunt forever.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States

P.S. During the hunt, you can get frequent updates from Rebecca Aldworth, our Director of Canadian Wildlife Issues, who will be on the ice to witness and report on the slaughter. Click here to subscribe to Seal Watch.

Press Release:


Lobster Zone:
Finally a crane game to get excited about. At $2.00 per try The Lobster Zone system guarantees an extremely profitable skill crane return while providing the most attention-getting attraction the Bar and Restaurant business has ever seen. If your looking for something different-it is obvious you should look at "The Lobster Zone".


The Lobster Zone product is extremely appealing to a broad target audience in a multitude of settings, and has the potential to be adapted to feature other high priced “rewards”. The psychological attraction to gaming  appeals to a variety of interests including competition, sport, challenge, uniqueness of the game, and the &ldquoot at the end of the rainbow”. Our society has become increasingly focused on impulse buying and immediate gratification. Today, vending machines meet those needs by selling virtually every product available in a store environment. Clothing, cameras, phones, food, hygienic products, fishing bait, pizzas, you name it, and you can find it in a vending machine in most parts of the world. The industry is booming and industry experts see a sustained growth rate for the future. Annual sales figures for the vending machine industry world wide total over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS .

 The Lobster Zone has already established a broad customer base.  The proven success of its products has created a backlog of potential buyers. Management believes a well defined and executed marketing plan that thoroughly exposes the products to potential buyers, will dramatically increase sales. Small scale market analyses have proven the allure with the The Lobster Zone at both the retail and distribution levels. The novelty of the machine coupled with the reward scenario make the machine a popular item in its targeted settings.



 Grrr

    Ban Fur Farming!
    Nov 5, 2005
    Focus: Animal Welfare
    Action Request: Petition
    Location: United States
    http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/770454301

    Make Fur Farming Illegal

    In small cages animals such as fox, mink, chinchillas, sable, fitch, raccoon dog, lynx, bobcat, and nutria are kept in inhumane and vile conditions. 

      
    Many animals lose their natural state of mind and revert to cannabilism and self mutilation.  Often these animals suffer sever injuries that are left unchecked, such as exposed bones that have broken.
     


    While their lives are horrible their deaths aren't any better.  Methods used to kill these animals: anal electrocution, gassed, injected with poisons, breaking of necks, asphixiation, weed killers, and many animals are still alive when the skinning begins.


    This is not right!We want a stop to this.  We want America to follow in Sweden, Holland, and the Uks footsteps in banning this cruel and unneccessary process.  What do we need fur for when we live in climate controlled environments?  It is nothing but greed and vanity. 

    These are sentient beings and they deserve to live!
