Investigative reporter Per Hermanrud said on some farms, workers "pluck the birds repeatedly about 4 times." The reason, he says? Profit. http://cbs5.com/investigates/goose.down.practices.2.1665803.html

Australian ranchers usually perform this extremely painful procedure without painkillers. The sheep are forced to lie on their backs, while their legs are restrained between metal bars, then the ranchers cut large chunks of skin away from the animals' backsides, or alternatively they use vise-like clamps and attach them to their flesh until it dies and sloughs off. Both procedures are equally painful, as no painkillers or anaesthesia are used.

CIRCUS BEATS ANIMALS www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/bound-babies.aspInhumane and cruel methods used to train animals in circuses. Bullhooks and electric shocks are just some of the brutal methods used to force baby elephants into submission. The ringling circus like many other circuses around the world, beats, stabs, tortures and electrocutes its animals. This website shows distressing pictures of baby elephants being electro-shocked by trainers. Electric shocks applied to baby elephant's heads; sharp bullhooks used to assault and threaten baby elephants; baby elephants slammed to the ground during training sessions; baby elephants made to sleep in cold barns with cold concrete floors for up to 23 hours per day without their mothers; and painful lesions caused by tight chains and ropes around their legs, are just some of the sadistic and barbaric torture methods used on animals in circuses in the United States, and of course, the same methods are used worldwide. Unfortunately, they don't use a pleasant sweet or treat reward system.

ANNE THE ELEPHANT SAVED BY LONGLEAT SAFARI PARK www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7MBDQdDr5YAt last, a video that shows Anne the elephant enjoying her freedom at Longleat, after 54 years of abuse at the circus. Anne was kept in a dark and dingy shed with no toys to play with and was barely able to move when her legs were restrained during much of her time in captivity. Please take a look at the link for CIRCUS BEATS ANIMALS, to find out how they may have trained Anne to do painful and demeaning tricks for circus punters. The difficult and painful weight-bearing tricks during evening performances were to blame for the arthritis in her rear legs. Elephants don't stand on their heads or rear legs in the wild, and only the males mount the females during the mating season. During her time with the circus she was not treated for arthritis or a painful skin condition. She didn't have access to a scratching post (tree etc), sand pit, and had no access to a water-filled container or clean pool to bathe in.
Posted April 21, 2011 at 9:27 AM -
ANNE THE ELEPHANT www.annetheelephant.co.uk/Anne the Elephant, transferred to Longleat Safari Park, after 54 years of abuse at Bobby Robert's circus. Elephants forced to stand on their hind legs go on to develop swelling in the anal area, which eventually leads to painful and debilitating hernias. Doing headstands and handstands puts an exorbitant amount of pressure on the front legs and neck, and probably causes spinal, neck and leg injuries. Night after night, Bobby Robert's and his circus expected her to weight bear on her arthritic rear legs which had affected her for years. It is only now, that she is getting the correct medical treatment and other necessary care and therapies for the arthritis and the painful skin condition. Anne's hip bones can be seen quite clearly through her thighs, and if you take a look at how Asian Elephants look in the wild, you'll notice how unkempt and tired she looked. www.iucnredlist.org/sotdfiles/elephas-maximus.pdf

ANNE THE ELEPHANT AND THE LONGLEAT ELEPHANT SANCTUARY APPEAL www.justgiving.com/The-Longleat-Elephant-Sanctuary-AppealPlease support the rehabilitation of abused elephants like Anne. With the successful arrival of Anne, Longleat has set up the "Longleat Elephant Sanctuary" to support the physical and behavioural care of Anne and other elephants in a similar position. Their plan is to build a modern facility that meets the elephants rehabilitation requirements. If you are interested in helping this cause please make a donation. http://www.iucnredlist.org/sotdfiles/elephas-maximus.pdf There are from 34,000 to 54,000 Asian elephants left in the wild today. Asian elephants are found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Kampuchea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. Since the Asian elephant requires large forest areas for its habitat, deforestation has become the main threat to its survival. Reduction of its habitat has caused its population to decline in pocketed patches of forests with agricultural land surrounding them. African elephants could also be extinct within 15 years because of the illegal ivory trade.

GREENPEACE www.greenpeace.org/international/en/Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization, and was founded in 1971. Their goal is to ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity. They focus on issues such as global warming, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling and anti-nuclear issues. All their hard work and campaigns have played a pivotal role in huge successful changes for the environment. They were the driving force behind the ban on dumping lethal radioactive waste at sea, and phasing out toxic chemicals in the tech industry. They persuaded food companies to stop buying forest-destroying palm oil, and brought about the end of commercial whaling.

lionAid petition
The African wild lion population has decreased by more
than 90% over the last 50 years, and now there are only
about 20,000 in the world. From 2002 - 2008, the
majority of 4,400 wild lion trophies (hunted and killed)
were exported to the U.S. Shocking statistics have
revealed that there are less than 300 white lions
world-wide, many are kept in zoos, and the rest are
used for canned hunting operations as there are no
protection laws in place for white lions. It's devastating
to know that within a few decades around 50% of all
animal and plant species will disappear, and we will
never see them again.

Photographs of a cedarplus nesting box
that buckled, expanded and developed
rust and large damp patches soon after
I bought it, will be posted in this space
in the near future. There is also a large
gap between the roof and the main box
which is not advertised on any of the
websites I've looked at.

to obtain fact sheets - The endangered hedgehog population
has declined by more than 25% during
the last ten years, and our much loved
garden friends desperately need your
help. Fifty years ago there were 30
million hedgehogs in Britain, and now
there could be less than 1 million.
Hedgehog Starter Home
Hedgehogs are an endangered species,
and you can give them the help they so
desperately need by giving them a cozy
hedgehog starter home. The homes are
finished to a good standard with smooth
wooden panels, and each base is lined
with plastic to protect the wood. The
houses are fitted with a side entrance
to keep predators out, although you will
need to place a piece of tarpaulin on the
roof of any hedgehog home to keep the
rain out. When you buy a hedgehog
home, bird or bat nesting box, make sure
the wood is smooth and without splinters
or rough surfaces, because substandard
homes will splinter and buckle. Rough
wood will lead to cuts and infections on
the skin and eyes.
Schwegler Hedgehog Dome
This damp-proof Schwegler hedgehog
dome is insulated and made from
wood-concrete, and will last for decades.
