Online Directory of Safe Havens for Animals™ Programs This is for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. All to often they remain with the abuser because of their love and concern for a pet. This is a list of safe havens for family pets. Last updated: May 15, 2008 If you are concerned about your pet's safety and do not see a program listed in your area, we recommend that you contact your local domestic violence shelter, animal shelter, veterinarian, or boarding kennel to see if they have a Safe Haven for Animals program or can provide temporary care for your pet. We hope to expand this directory as we learn of new programs. If you know of a Safe Haven program not listed here, please e-mail us at firststrike@hsus.org. Include a telephone number, e-mail address, and contact person's name.

UK Plans to Airdrop German Shepherd Dogs into War Zones - PLEASE READ AND SIGN PETITION- THIS IS DISGUSTING!!


Please read the urgent appeal below and sign the petition at the link provided in the appeal...

What you are about to read is unbelievable! !!!


SWAP team UK are sickened and outraged at this apalling exploitation and abuse of innocent animals...

Please forward this appeal far and wide to get as many signatures on the petition as possible

Many thanks for your much needed supportSWAP team UK
As you may all be aware, the United Kingdom is all set to airdrop German shepherd dogs to take on the well armed Taliban and the al-Qaeda insurgents in Afghanistan. This absurd and cruel tactic of deploying dogs in situations that are too dangerous for soldiers has been devised to cut down the soaring casualty rates in Afghanistan and Iraq. These valiant but powerless and vulnerable dogs would have to helplessly face the armed terrorists who do not mind blowing themselves up...

In fact for them, these dogs at best could be target practice


Please help STOP this cruel tactic of sending German Shepherd dogs to War in Afghanistan
Stand up for the German Shepherds and send a message to the Secretary of State for Defence, UK, today by signing the petition, "STOP Sending Helpless German Shepherd Dogs to take on Taliban" at the link below:http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-sending-helpless-german-shepherd-dogs-to-take-on-taliban Once you have signed, you can further help by asking your friends and family to sign as well
Thank you so much!

UPDATE: Wolf Killing Halted... For Now Dear Renee, In a victory for the gray wolves of the northern Rockies, a federal judge today ruled in favor of Earthjustice's request to stop the wolf slaughter while our case challenging the removal of endangered species protections is heard. The court ordered that wolves be temporarily protected under the federal Endangered Species Act while it continues to consider the arguments for long term protection. Once again, the courts have proven to be the best line of defense for threatened wildlife. Earthjustice has the legal expertise that the environmental community relies on when they need to win. Earthjustice represents the environmental community for no cost -- and we win. But the battle is not over. In the coming weeks, the lawyers of our Northern Rockies office will continue our case to permanently restore protections for the gray wolves. We will keep you posted as news develops. Thank you for standing with us. Sincerely, Trip Van Noppen President, Earthjustice

JUST A PIECE OF THE PETITION THAT NEEDS YOUR SIGNATURE: "History repeated itself on July 8, 2008 when in the wee hours of the morning i.e. 2 a.m. Yoronso, a 30 year old notorious Naga man pursuing his Ph.D form JNU's School Of Social Science, (Center for Political Studies) and occupant of Room # 248 Kaveri Hostel invited over two of his friends who spotted Kali sitting near the staircase and instantaneously developed a longing to consume her flesh. To hatch their heinous scheme they lured Kali with a Parle G biscuit to Yoronso's room (Room # 248) and once inside they bolted the room from within, Yoronso then fed Kali some rice that he had gotten from the hostel mess downstairs and once Kali was done having it, he wrapped around Kali's snout two torn "Duppattas". Kali unsuspecting of the crimes that were to take place was busy thanking Yoronso and his friends for that Parle G biscuit and rice dish they let her have but suddenly Yoronso began to bludgeon her with a cricket bat and soon his friends joined in with a curtain rods. "This battering prolonged for almost an hour and when Kali was sufficiently dazed owing to the relentless beating then Yoronso plunged his knife into her and began to sever her while she was still alive, kicking and writhing in agonizing pain and continuing to breathe in ragged gasps as she kept blinking slowly. "Next 20 minutes Yoronso mercilessly dismembered her limb after limb while she still kept alive and mystifyingly watched the horrors and butchery being performed on her. Yoronso's friend then brought a brick and began to smash Kali's skull with that and resultantly Kali succumbed. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/horrific-murder-of-the-street-dog-in-delhi

I got this from Susan, a member here, and whether we live in Ohio, or not, we need to speak out!! We are AMERICANS!!!! Please, CALL, WRITE, and FAX!!! If this bill passes in Ohio, I guarantee it won't be long before similiar bills spread like a disease. Don't let this happen. What breed will be next? Where will it stop? I say right here, right now!!!Think about this!! Ohio Representative Tyrone Yates just introduced a House bill 568. This bill will be to completely ban Pit Bulls or any bully type or any dog remotely looking like a bully from the state of Ohio. He already achieved this in his City of Cincinnati. If the bill passes, these owners will have 90 days from the effective date to find another place outside of Ohio for their pets. If after that time period and you have a pit bull, it will be taken from you and destroyed. The bill even gives the right for a search warrant to be used if need be. There will be no warning, no justice, no innocent until proven guilty. Also no pit bulls will be allowed to leave a shelter even to go into a rescue in another state. You can read it at http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=127_HB_568. Sec. 955.111 would be the new part of the law. I am completely in shock over the fact that this could become a law. And if they get this breed passed, what is next. German Shepherds, Rotts, Dobs, Huskies, Mals, Chows, etc. I could go on and on here. I would move out of state before I would kill my pets. However, how many folks will not be able to afford to up and move out of state. Not many. So if they have a pit bull that is a family member, they will have to find it a place or it killed. I am asking every person, "if you believe it is wrong for the whole state to ban pit bulls to please help". Even if you don't live in Ohio, please write, any and even better, ALL of the Ohio State Representatives. Chris Widener 77 S.

List other things they should be working on to help with the animal problems. Mandated spay/neuter Ban tethered or chained dogs Ask them for new stronger laws on animal cruelty. Tell them The number of tax paying citizens who will have a family member ripped from their home and killed even if the dog is very friendly. What about a new family who moves into Ohio and does not know the law. That dog can be taken immediately and destroyed. They will claim, it is the law and you should know it before moving here. Who will pay for the cost to destroy all those dogs. For more thoughts or examples http://www.animallawcoalition.com/breed-bans/article/524 I can tell you that if this law passes, the neighboring states will be slammed with 100's of thousands of pit bulls from families hoping to find a safe place for their pets.

www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/300525142 Target: U.S. Senate Sponsored by: American Humane Association The Tracking Animal Cruelty Crimes Act of 2007 would require the FBI to add animal cruelty as a separate category in its crime data reporting system. The link between animal cruelty and other forms of societal violence is a national concern. The practice of dogfighting perfectly illustrates this connection, as it is almost always linked to illegal drug and weapons violations, gambling, aggravated assault and gang violence. When local and state police agencies report animal cruelty incidents to the FBI, they are labeled "other offenses." This makes it nearly impossible to access and respond to even the most basic information about animal cruelty crimes and their perpetrators. U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has introduced the Tracking Animal Cruelty Crimes Act of 2007, which would require the FBI to add animal cruelty as a separate category in its National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
