Urge Ringling Brothers to retire all their animals to sanctuaries

Zitat von Quelle: >>>Ringling Brothers has made a huge announcement. They will be closing down after more than 100 years in operation. During the century that they have been in operation, countless animals have suffered abuse and extreme confinement.

The final performances will be in May 2017 but it is not clear what will happen to all the animals that are still with the circus after that time.

Please sign this petition to urge Feld Entertainment, the owners of the Ringling Brothers Circus, to release all remaining animals to reputable sanctuaries. We need to prevent the further confinement and abuse of these sensitive animals.<<<

Export von südafrikanischen Löwen stoppen

Export von Löwen aus Süd-Afrika stoppen

Lend your voice to lions

The 2015 award-winning documentary "Blood Lions" exposed South Africa’s cruel lion breeding industry, where between 6,000-8,000 lions are suffering on South African breeding farms. Bred for cub petting, lion walks, trophy hunting, and the lion bone trade, these lions will never experience life in the wild. Now the South African government is proposing to grant the cruel lion breeding industry the right to export the skeletons of 800 African lions every year, mostly to southeast Asia for medicinal purposes.

Lion biologists warn that captive-bred lion bone trade can be detrimental to wild lion populations because it increases demand and incentivizes poaching of wild lions. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has also called for the complete termination of captive lion breeding for commercial, non-conservation purposes.

The time is now to end the trade in captive-bred lion parts and to shut down this industry!

Plastikbesteck abschaffen

Plastikbesteck abschaffen

Zitat von Quelle: >>>

Sehr geehrte Frau Hendricks,

die Unmengen an Plastik, die tagtäglich bundesweit in Mülleimern, aber auch der Natur entsorgt werden, sind ein großes Problem für die Gesundheit von Mensch und Umwelt. Insbesondere Einmal- und Wegwerfartikel wie Plastikbesteck, -becher und -teller belasten die Natur und die Konsumenten aufgrund ihrer mangelnden Nachhaltigkeit und der enthaltenen Schadstoffe eklatant.

Mit nahezu 12 Millionen Tonnen Plastikmüll pro Jahr liegt Deutschland europaweit an der Spitze und trägt, auch in seiner Rolle als Wirtschaftsmacht, eine große Verantwortung.

Frankreich hat es bereits vorgemacht und den Verkauf von Plastikgeschirr und -besteck ab 2020 verboten. Folgen wir diesem guten Beispiel und seien wir ebenfalls Vorbild für andere Nationen.

Wir bitten Sie daher eindringlich, Frau Hendricks, sich für das Verbot von Plastikgeschirr- und besteck einzusetzen.<<<

Gegen Elefantenfolter

Gegen Elefantenfolter

Elefanten werden gequält und misshandelt - teilweise durch eine neue Art der Folter, die sich "Phajaan" (oder auch "crushing") nennt, bei der die Elefanten auch Tricks machen müssen, wenn niemand zuschaut.

Zitat von Quelle: >>>Each year elephants are being abused in horrible ways at the Surin Elephant Round-up festival in Thailand. This festival is held every year in Surin Province, Isan, Thailand, usually during the third week of November. The origins are in the royal hunts. The resident of Surin have been practicioners of corralling elephants and training them as working animals. The event now includes shows like soccer games and tugs of war with the Royal Thai Army.

Unfortunately, the elephants are living a nightmare. They are stabbed repeatedly with huge sharp hooks and pulled or squeezed by their ears. They are teased, stabbed and have horrible scars on their body. Tourists take rides on them with their foreheads covered in blood. Even when no one is watching they have to perform tricks. This kind of torture is called Phajaan or crushing.

When they can, they stand close to each other, trying to comfort one another. Their eyes are full of fear, pain, loneliness, sadness and despair. They feel like they are hated by everyone, like nobody loves them and they are alone. They don't want to live this terrible life they don't deserve. The animals get little sleep, water and food so they don't have much energy and they are starving. many die because of these conditions.

When they are not performing, they are chained by their both front feet, unable to walk. The young elephants are taken away from their mothers way too soon and tortured.<<<
