EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS

Animal experiments are supposedly necessary in order to make the products we use safe and to find new therapies for sick people. However, they are in fact not suitable for judging the effects and hazards of substances for humans. Scientists, politicians and citizens are now increasingly recognising that animal experiments don’t fulfil what they promise, and that their results are not directly applicable to humans.

Animal experiments are immoral. Regardless of the numerous scientific reasons, there are also ethical reasons to reject animal experiments. Each year at least 115 million animals die in the laboratories of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in universities and other research institutes. Animal experiments degrade animals as »model organisms« to disposable measuring instruments. Yet animals are sentient fellow creatures capable of suffering. Animal experimentation is not compatible with ethically justifiable medicine and science.

THE POLAR BEARS

Polar bears are on thin ice.
As climate change heats up the Arctic, these iconic bears are not only scrambling to stay afloat, they're struggling to dodge the bullets of trophy hunters.

Congress has taken notice and recently introduced the Polar Bear Protection Act (S. 1406/H.R. 2327), which would ban the import of sport-hunted polar bear trophies into the United States.

Polar Bear Survival in Question

A decline in polar bear numbers in recent years has been linked to the retreat of sea ice and its formation later in the year. Ice is also breaking up earlier and this trend is likely to continue. Bears have been forced ashore before they have time to build sufficient fat stores, resulting in thinner, stressed bears, fewer cubs and lower survival rates. Polar bears have even drowned because of melting ice.

Faced with habitat loss and population decline, polar bears are also contending with unscrupulous trophy hunters wishing to lug the pelts of these magnificent animals back to the United States to fill their trophy rooms.
Over-hunting of adult polar bears can cause a catastrophic crash in their population. Well more than half of the polar bear populations in the world are either of unknown, severely reduced, or declining status. The World Conservation Union Red List of Threatened Species cites "a potential risk of over-harvest due to increased quotas, excessive quotas or no quotas in Canada and Greenland and poaching in Russia."

KILL OF SEALS IN CANADA

Canada's annual commercial seal hunt is the largest commercial hunt of marine mammals on the planet.

Who Kills Seals and Why?

Sealing is an off-season activity conducted by fishermen from Canada's East Coast. They make, on average, a small fraction of their annual incomes from sealing—and the rest from commercial fisheries. Even in Newfoundland, where 90 percent of sealers live, the government estimates there are less than 6,000 fishermen who actively participate in the seal hunt each year.

How Are the Seals Killed?

The Canadian Marine Mammal Regulations,

which govern the hunt, stipulate sealers may kill seals with wooden clubs, hakapiks (large ice-pick-like clubs) and guns. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, clubs and hakapiks are the killing implement of choice, and in the Front, guns are more widely used.

It is important to note that each killing method is demonstrably cruel. Because sealers shoot at seals from moving boats, the pups are often only wounded. The main sealskin processing plant in Canada deducts $2 from the price they pay for the skins for each bullet hole they find—therefore sealers are loath to shoot seals more than once. As a result, wounded seals are often left to suffer in agony—many slip beneath the surface of the water where they die slowly and are never recovered.

What Products Are Made from Seals?

Seals are killed primarily for their fur, which is used to produce fashion garments and other items. There is a small market for seal oil (both for industrial purposes and for human consumption), and seal penises have been sold in Asian markets as an aphrodisiac. There is almost no market for the meat, so seal carcasses are normally left to rot on the ice.

COCKFIGHTING

Cockfighting is a cruel blood sport that pits two roosters against each other. Spectators place bets, and the fight ends after one or both roosters die.
Cockfighting is illegal in all states. Besides being cruel to animals, cockfighting is closely connected to other crimes like gambling, drug dealing, illegal firearms sales and even homicide.

How does it cause animal suffering?

The birds, even those who do not die, suffer in cockfights. The birds cannot escape from the fight, regardless of how exhausted or injured they become. Common injuries include punctured lungs, broken bones, and pierced eyes. Such severe injuries occur because the birds' legs are usually fitted with razor-sharp steel blades or with gaffs, which resemble three-inch-long, curved ice picks. These artificial spurs are designed to puncture and mutilate.

KOREANS AND PERUVIANS EATING CATS AND DOGS... IS THIS OK???

This is a wake up call for all westerners who love dogs and cats and who keep them as valued members of their families.

Did you know that in Korea there is an evil, cruel practice of killing dogs for food.

THIS CRUELTY IS COMPLETELY INTENTIONAL!
The Koreans actually believe that the adrenaline released into the dogs’ bloodstreams by their sheer terror and agony will increase the sexual potency of the consumer.

Cats are treated no better, tied in sacks and beaten to death with sticks, although a favourite method is to boil them ALIVE with selected herbs. The resultant “cat juice” or “goyangi soju” is superstitiously believed to be a cure for arthritis, amongst other assorted ailments. Of course these ignorant beliefs are nonsense.

Nowadays here in PERU there is a cat-eating festival in Cañete.

The "Gastronomical Festival of the Cat," a two-day event at the end of September, involves the eating of specially bred cats that locals claim can cure bronchial disease and work as an aphrodisiac.

ZOOPHILIA OR BESTIALITY?

Zoophilia is a paraphilia defined as sexual attraction by a human to non-human animals. Human/animal sexual interaction is referred to as zoosexuality, or simply animal sex; the term bestiality is also used, especially in legal and negative contexts. The quite ambiguous term sodomy has also sometimes been used for bestiality. In pornography, zoosexuality is occasionally referred to as "farmsex".

Zoophilia is often considered to be unnatural, and zoosexuality has been condemned as animal abuse however, some such as philosopher pete singer argue that this is not inherently the case. Zoophilia is illegal in many jurisdictions.

Zoophilia in pornography

Involving zoosexuality is widely illegal, even in most countries where the act itself is not explicitly outlawed. In the United States, this pornography is automatically considered obscene and therefore may not be sold, mailed or imported (production and mere possession appear to be legal however). Similar restrictions obtain in Germany.

Materials featuring animal sex are widely available on the internet, however, mainly because their production and sale is legal in countries like the Netherlans and denmark.

Zoophilia in mythology

Zoophilia has been a frequent subject in art, literature, and fantasy. In Greek mythology, Zeus appeared to Leda in the form of a swan (resulting in the birth of Helen andpolydeuces), and the Minotaur was the offspring of Queen Pasiphae and a white bull. The god Pan has also been frequently associated with animal sex.

In my opinion Zoophilia is wrong. Gay guys give there partners a choice whether they want to have sex with them or not. Animals aren't given a choice and that is wrong to abuse the trust of a loving animal and possibly hurt them for your own pleasure.

ANIMALS IN THE CIRCUSES

ANIMAL ARE NOT OURS FOR ENTERTAINMENT

Using animals in circuses is an unnecessary and inhumane practice that's harmful to both the animals and the public. Unlike the human performers who choose to work in circuses, exotic animals are forced to take part in the show. They are involuntary actors in a degrading, unnatural spectacle.

The fact is, animals do not naturally ride bicycles, stand on their heads, balance on balls, or jump through rings of fire. To force them to perform these confusing and physically uncomfortable tricks, trainers use whips, tight collars, muzzles, electric prods, bullhooks, and other painful tools of the trade.
We applaud trapeze artists, jugglers, clowns, tightrope walkers, and acrobats, but let’s leave animals in peace. Sweden, Austria, Costa Rica, India, Finland, and Singapore have all banned or restricted the use of animals in entertainment, it’s time for PERU to do the same.

While many people associate the circus with "safe, wholesome, family fun" an association promoted aggressively by the circus, the truth is much darker. Government inspection reports reveal ongoing mistreatment of animals in circuses, as well as failures to provide the basic minimal standards of care required by law. Animals used in circuses have been injured and killed, and have injured and killed humans.

And the conservation claims made by many circuses are merely veiled attempts to justify the exploitation of animals for commercial gain. Endangered animals born in circus "conservation" programs have never been released into the wild, they are doomed, instead, to life in captivity.

FUR: AN UNNECESSARY LUXURY, THE CRUELTY IS NOT ELEGANCE...

...YOU CHOOSE

All of us are obliged to prevent the horrible phenomenon of cruelty to animals, and be a "light onto nations" by refusing to use products that originate from act which cause such suffering.

Each garment made with wild animal skin hides the unnecessary deaths of many animals and the people who buy, use or wear them must assume the responsabilities of those deaths.

I won't wear fur because...

It takes over fifty dead animals to make one coat.

The cruelty is not elegance.

It looks utterly ridiculous on human being.

It's wearing dead animals on one's person.

I have compassion for animals.

Animals are skinned alive for their fur.

I don't want to be part of this horrible event.

and what about you?

WHY IS THE PANDA AN ENDANGERED SPECIES?

IS IT OUR FAULT TOO?

Pandas are dying because of one main reason: HABITAD LOSS. Their main sources of food is bamboo, which takes a long time to grow.
Human population grow and increase in agricultura, mining, and logging activities have reduced the pandas range by one half just over the last 20 years.
As a result, panda populations are small and isolated.





Pandas, too, are picky regarding their mate. Females are only fertile in the reproductive cycle or mating period for about 5 days. It means that the chances of pandas mating succesfully are slim . There are a lot of less pandas surviving in the world.




Pandas are endangered because they are getting hunted by people who are killing these animals without knowing that they are endangered and they don't have concerns, or cares towards the balance and well-being of the eco-system.

Only psychopaths enjoy with other's suffering

ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

DON'T SUPPORT THIS EVENT

Ignorance is not an art!!!

What is bullfight and who suffers in this bloody so called sport?

If we search in the dictionary the meaning of bullfighting, we could find the following:

"Bullfighting is the national sport and spectacle of Spain, and nowadays of many countries. Called the corrida de toros in Spanish, the bullfight takes place in a large outdoor . The object is kill a wild bull".

BUT ...BULLFIGHTING IS NOT AN INTERNATIONAL SPORT!!! This is an act of cruelty.

We can not understand how can exist people enjoying the suffering of the bull ...They must be sick!!.With that kind of behavior we just can infer they're not human beings, but monsters!!! Likewise, there are several question what I always thinking of.. Is it fair? Is this a sport or just killing for fun?

Some opinions:

What do you think about bullfighting?

"It should be banned, along with fox-hunting and hare-coursing."
"How can you call it a sport? - it's just cruel."
