Trenton, New Jersey. Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus. Demonstrations and Conference. May 2008.

There are two notices from the New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance concerning the Saddest show on Earth aka the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus. The circus is coming to Trenton, New Jersey ( 5/14-5/18) and NJARA will be holding a conference on Tuesday, May 13 2008, at 11am at the Trenton State Hall. People are needed to stand in support of our effort against cruelty in the circus. Those who can come should email nocircusanimals@optonline.net and be counted.

Second thing is that our intrepid and fearless leader, Claudia Rose Emerson, will be walking with the circus animals from the trains to the arena that very same day. This is a period of greatest danger for both animals and the public, and witnesses ( in case something goes wrong or animal cruelty is practiced openly ) will be appreciated. If you can make it as well to this walk, email the address I have given above. Claudia will do this again after the last show in Trenton which is Sunday, the 18th, at 5pm. Therefore, the walk back to the trains will be around 730pm.

For your information, there will be demos Saturday, the 17th (Shows 11AM, 3PM, 7PM), or Sunday (Shows 1PM, 5PM). They will be held at the Sovereign Bank Arena located off Route 129 on the corner of Hamilton Avenue and South Broad Street in the heart of Trenton, NJ.

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 ....

William Baber, Tennessee Vet Gone Bad.

Euthanasia is suppose to be merciful. When William Baber had his way, it was far from it. Baber used the very cruel " heart stick " method minus the sedation. This means that the animals could spend as long as 30 agonizing minutes before death actually occurred. Undercover video showed that William Baber even stepped on the animals to immobilize them for the injection. Do I sound like I am describing an executioner and not a veterinarian? Very sad, isn't it? The video showed dogs’ tails visibly wagging and cats are flailing before they’re given the lethal injection . "It’s just a horrible, horrible way for an animal to die,” said former euthanasia technician June McMahon. Tennessian.com reported that " still conscious, the cats were described by inmates as 'going wild' after being placed in a container, with as many as 10-15 of them being dumped on top of each other in a 'cruel manner,' authorities allege.These animals were allegedly placed ...
