Se define eutanasia como el cese de la vida de un animal en forma indolora que solo  profesionales especialistas (Médicos Veterinarios), pueden aplicar en animales enfermos o que representan un riesgo para las personas (agresividad, transmisión de enfermedades ). Los perros en forma masiva en las calles y zonas rurales exponen a las personas y a los animales (perros, ganado y fauna silvestre) a un problema sin control. Por lo demás la eutanasia a mascotas y animales plaga, animales de consumo humano y dañinos ya se aplica diariamente en Chile. 2. Existe legislación en todos los países OECD y Norteamerica que obliga a las autoridades sanitarias a retirar a los perros de las calles por sus

FBI Domestic Terrorism Training Guides on Anarchists, Environmentalists - 0 views

  • The FBI also warns of activist attempts to use “false employment.” This is undoubtedly related to activists who seek employment at factory farms and vivisection labs in order to expose animal welfare abuses. As I have reported here previously, the FBI has considered terrorism charges for non-violent undercover investigators. And multiple states have been seeking to criminalize undercover investigations as well. As I document in Green Is the New Red, there has been a slow and relentless expansion of “terrorism” rhetoric and investigations over the last 30 years. This type of language and FBI investigation was initially confined to property crimes by the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front (groups that have caused millions of dollars in economic loss, but have never harmed a human being).

Op-ed: Creating a No Kill Norfolk | AltDaily : Creating and celebrating local culture i... - 0 views

  • in Norfolk, Virginia, seven out of 10 cats and almost half of all dogs are still being needlessly killed. Why? Because shelter officials are mired in the 19th century model of animal control based on an “adopt a few, kill the rest” mentality.
  • And we aim to change that.
  • We’ve requested that the City Council pass an ordinance requiring Norfolk to run its shelter in line with those of the most successful communities in the nation, by requiring simple, commonsense and cost-effective alternatives to killing that most animal lovers would be shocked to learn are not already being comprehensively implemented voluntarily.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • One of the proposals is to make it illegal for Norfolk shelters to kill animals using taxpayer money when qualified non-profit rescue organizations are willing to save them at private expense.
  • All it will require are foster care,
  • That number now stands at over 58,939—a 370% increase in annual lifesaving, all at no cost to taxpayers.
  • Another of the Norfolk proposals would end the practice of killing animals simply because the mandated stray holding period has passed.
  • Before the California law went into effect, only 12,526 animals were being transferred from shelters to rescue groups statewide every year.
  • working with rescue groups,
  • marketing and adoptions
  • Can anyone with even a hint of common sense or compassion actually say it is better to kill baby kittens than have volunteers bottle feed them?
  • Right now, excluding laws imposed by health departments regarding the use of controlled substances, the disposition of rabid and potentially aggressive animals and mandated holding periods, shelter directors in this country have essentially unlimited discretion as to how they operate their facilities.
  • They can exclude members of the community from volunteering.
  • They can prevent other non-profits, such as rescue groups and other shelters, from saving the lives of animals in their custody.
  • And when volunteers or rescuers go public with their concerns, they are terminated.
  • Where shelters are not willing to do these things voluntarily or do so on a limited basis when they should be doing it for every single animal, every single time, we must pass laws forcing them to do so.
  • when all you ever do is all you’ve ever done then all you’ll ever get is all you’ve ever gotten.
  • Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity.

  • If we convince less than 20% of these 17 million potential adopters to adopt from a shelter
  • and if those shelters keep the animals alive while homes are being found
  • “In the U.S., 6 to 8 million animals enter shelters annually,
  • The numbers are overwhelmingly in the animals’ favor. This is why the No Kill Equation has worked, always, wherever it has been rigorously applied.
  • A brave city councilman, Andy Protogyrou, has proposed that Norfolk become a No Kill city
  • Nothing would alter the landscape of animal welfare more than this: to have the city in which PETA is headquartered demonstrate that shelter killing is entirely unnecessary.
  • Still, you must decide. The No Kill Equation depends upon the community.

How Using Antibiotics In Animal Feed Creates Superbugs : The Salt : NPR - 0 views

  • This "pig MRSA" has been detected in nearly half of all meat sampled in U.S. commerce
  • we think it may be changing gears, so to speak, and gaining the capacity to be passed from person to person.
  • Price says the new data provide an early warning of what might become a major public health problem.
  • in some areas of the Netherlands, it's causing as many as 1 in 4 human MRSA cases
  • "our inappropriate use of antibiotics ... is now coming back to haunt us."
  • the solution is clear — banning antibiotics in livestock feed, as the European Union has done.
  • Most antibiotics sold in the U.S. go to animals, mostly in their feed, where they act as a growth promoter and damp down infection outbreaks in large feedlots.
  • It said it would focus instead on "voluntary reform" by the meat industry to limit use.

  • In contrast, we direct our attention to the issue of the standards of animal care required of shelters. This is an important moment for our State’s companion animals.  This is the first time that the New York State legislature has considered creating a standard of care that animal shelters must follow.
