Daphne D- AR: The Next Social Justice Movement

I am the voice of the voiceless: Through me, the dumb shall speak; Till the deaf world’s ear be made to hear The cry of the wordless weak. And I am my brother’s keeper, And I will fight his fight; And speak the word for beast and bird Till the world shall set things right.

WORLDWIDE FUR FREE FRIDAY‏



Fur Free Friday this year is promising to be a chain of exciting events worldwide against the bloody fur trade.

Fur Free Friday (http://www.furkills.org/fff2008/index.html) is
almost here and activists everywhere are hunkering down to
finalize their plans for the most prolific Fur Free Friday yet!
In fact, this year, events
(http://www.furkills.org/fff2008/2008events.html) are taking
place in over 75 cities on every continent besides Antarctica!
Hopefully there is an event close enough for you to participate.
If not, you can still help fur-bearing animals by asking
Amazon.com to stop selling fur today!

Every year, over 50 million animals are brutally killed and
skinned to make fur products. While many companies have pledged
to go fur-free, other popular companies, such as Amazon.com,
continue to cause and profit from animal suffering.

FFF has now become Worldwide Fur Free Friday.
On this blessed day, more than 30 countries will be protesting and bringing about information on the horrific pain and agony inflicted up on fur bearing animals all over the world.

CHECK WHO WILL BE PARTICIPATING:

We invite you to speak out for the innocent souls which never experience a day of kindness in their lives until they meet with brutal deaths so uncaring people may wear their fur.

Fur bearing animals desperately need your voice.


Come, join us!

Urgently introduce legislation in China

Cat and dog pelts sell for about US$1 each and every year, 2,000,000 cats and dogs suffer a horrific death, skinned alive for the pelts.

For what?

1. An insignificant contribution towards the Chinese economy - a few million US$; and

2. A clear message to the world that so long as the Chinese government permits the trade, China is not fit to take its place as a leading nation and certainly not one that is entitled to any trust or respect.

The “adverse fallout” and abhorrence for the Chinese government resulting from the trade will far exceeds the paltry contribution it makes towards China’s economy. It is in China’s interest, to abolish the trade.

It’s our duty to tell the world about the trade and kick up such a stink that our message reverberates around the world.

Remember Tianamen Square. Let’s make this another Tianamen Square – this time, for the animals.

Please sign the Online Petition. It’s the First Step in Our Fight!”

Video (Warning! Graphic)
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=-poJsJb_d68

In the video, the instructor, Lieutenant Combo Aguilar ordered the soldiers get a dog. The dog was tied up so he was unable to move. Combo Aguilar, first tortured the animal in front of the group. After torturing the dog he stabbed the innocent dog many times on the head. The dog was still alive and crying in despair and pain, so Lt. Combo Aguilar grabbed his machete and decapitated the dog. Then he removed the heart of the poor dog , while holding the heart he rubbed it on the faces of some of the soldiers and he asked one of them to bite it.

Please sign the petition to protest the use of animals in military training by the Bolivian Army and to ask the Bolivian authorities to take the necessary measures to ban the use of animals in military training.

TAKE ACTION :Help Stop the Sadistic 'Fire Bull' Festival in Soria



In Medinaceli, a picturesque town in the province of Soria, Spain, a "tradition" called "Toro Júbilo" brings shame on Spain. On the second weekend in November, balls of pitch (a sticky black substance made from tar or turpentine) will once again be stuck onto the horns of a bull and set on fire. The burning bull is called "Toro de Fuego" (literally "bull on fire").

The bull is then released onto the streets and can do nothing but run around in pain. The bull often smashes into walls in an attempt to douse the fire. The agony the bull must suffer is unimaginable. These fiery balls can burn for hours, and they burn the bull's horns, body and eyes and cause tremendous stress – all while spectators cheer and run around the victim.

Please take a moment to use the form below to contact those who have the power to put an end to this vile practice.
