Passaic County Elections 2010. Pat Lapore. Terry Duffy. William Pascrell III.

I am crossposting a message from Keep Life in the Park (KLIP) regarding tomorrow's elections in Passaic County. Please read the urgent and important message below. It's time to send Lapore, Duffy, and Pascrell away from positions of power that they have used to allow the inhumanely killing of animals in Woodland Park. They have not be receptive to dialogue. We need people who are open to discussion especially when it comes to the humane treatment of animals and the judicious spending public funds. Most people believe that the deer hunt at Garrett Mountain was unnecessary and cruel. Defeating these individuals is a step towards engendering a more humane society. Lapore and Duffy are the Democratic incumbents on the Board of Freeholders. Vote them out in November 2010.

==============================================

Dear Friends of NJ Wildlife,
Believe it or not, Passaic County elections are tomorrow, June 8th. Up for re-election as Freeholders will be Pat Lapore and Terry Duffy, both of whom voted FOR the Woodland Park bow hunt.
Also up for re-election as County Counsel is William J. Pascrell III, whom we believe was responsible for bringing United Bow Hunters to the Freeholders and Woodland Park. As you may recall, it is Pascrell's lobbying group that is deeply inbedded in the hunting community, and he has been instrumental in bringing bill S1181 to the NJ Senate, which reduces the 450 foot home safety buffer to a mere 151 feet - without the homeowner’s permission. For your information, this bill passed in the Senate and must now go on to the State Assembly so there is a chance it will not be passed, but with the big money in Pascrell's lobbying, I wouldn't bet on it.
We have been trying to make contact with opposing Republican candidates for Freeholder, Garner and Gomez, but have been unable to do so. We phoned the Passaic County Regular Republican Organization in Wayne, but no one there was able to answer our questions or put us in touch with either candidate to ascertain their views on non-lethal wildlife management. We even called the State Republican Organization but were given no information. They have been virtually unreachable. So we do not know which way they would vote should the idea of a hunt be introduced again this year.
If you are planning to vote tomorrow, please remember that Lapore and Duffy voted FOR the deer bow hunt, and if S1181 passes, there will be bow hunters coming even closer to your homes and on your property WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION. If you will not be voting, please take a moment to call the Freeholder's Office and tell them why you will not vote for Lapore and Duffy. Pascrell is the lowest of the low and committed to bringing as much hunting as possible to NJ. Whether it be deer or bears, bow hunting, sharpshooting, trapping, and as just was signed into law in Connecticut, shooting deer with revolvers and handguns! Trust me - New Jersey is next!
Freeholders's Office: (973) 881-4402
Please take a moment to call the Freeholders and PLEASE CROSS POST this message to those who are sincerely interested in preventing more hunting in our backyards and protecting our families and companion animals from flying arrows and bullets. PLEASE - DO THE RIGHT THING!
Thank you!
Merrilee Cichy

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 ...

Philippines. Committee on Animal Welfare. Tambucho Gassing. Oscar Macenas. Fight for Compassion, Not Cruelty.

Believe it or not, the Committee on Animal Welfare (CAW) is again pushing for the reinstatement of Tambucho Gassing as an accepted form of euthanasia in the Philippines. This comes after CAW dragged its feet from August 2010 to April 2011, stultifying a directive from Secretary Proceso Alcala of the Department of Agriculture to rewrite a previous CAW-endorsed administrative order that embraced Tambucho Gassing like it was a God-sent cure-all for stray or unwanted animals. For those coming into this matter only now, Tambucho Gassing is not carbon monoxide gassing as CAW would like the world to believe. Tambucho Gassing is death by vehicular exhaust fumes. No gas cylinders are used, just a rubber hose connected to a clunky, old, usually badly tuned gas engine. The animals are entombed in a sealed metal container and toxic fumes are pumped into it. In terms of expediency, the process is slow, inefficient, and ineffective against the problem. In terms of humanity, it is depraved, utterly c...
