URGENT!!! Stop Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo 7/20 & 7/28 from playing at the most cruel and brutal rodeo in the world!

This July the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo,
one of the cruelest rodeos in the world, will once again brutalize, maim and kill animals in the name of mindless "entertainment".

All the graphic images shown on this blog were documented by SHARK investigators at the Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) Rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming, 2005. The pictures and videotape tell the truth as many animals are injured, abused, and even killed.

Sponsors and entertainers for CFD should be ashamed to support such abuse!!

( This horse was used in spite of an injury to its hoof. The blood spatters inside the chute shows that this wasn't the first injured animal used. See more bucking horse injuries at CFD. )

( Injuries at the Frontier Days Rodeo are common. )

( The WTE article exposes the repeated violations of the rodeo's rules, such as the shocking of horses with a Hot-Shot as seen above picture. )

Steer Roping

The Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo includes an event called single steer roping (also known as steer busting or steer tripping). Steer busting is so brutal ( picture above ) and cripples and kills so many animals that it is allowed in only a handful of western states.

A steer is impossibly contorted during an event that used to be called "steer tripping" or "steer busting." It is the most cruel and dangerous event in rodeo. The name of the event has now been changed to the more benign-sounding "steer roping." The name may be changed, but the abuse remains the same. See more steer busting at CFD.

Calf Roping - Abusing baby animals!

This event used to be called calf roping, because that's what it is. Three to four month-old calves are clotheslined, body slammed and tied for points. The calves are considered expendable. In an effort to mask the true nature of this disgusting activity, rodeo people have now changed the name of the event to "tie-down roping." The name has changed, but the cruelty of the abusers is the same.

- The images that SHARK captures are virtually impossible to erase from one’s mind, but are truly impossible to erase from the lives of these animals, and indeed all the animals to come, as long as corporations support rodeo.

-That's the rodeo world for you: abuse animals, repeatedly break the rules, reap awards. The PRCA does a fine job of exposing their corruption all by themselves.-

Birds Should Fly Free ...

:.Think Outside The Cage.:

There is no such animal as a “cage bird.” All caged birds were either captured or bred in captivity. In the wild, these beautiful beings are never alone—ever. And if they become separated for even a moment, they call wildly to their flockmates. They preen each other, fly together, play, and share egg-incubation duties. Many bird species mate for life and share parenting tasks.

Unfortunately for birds, the very qualities that we find admirable and fascinating about them—their brilliant colors, speech capabilities, and intelligence—have made them the third-most-popular type of animal companion in the United States. It’s estimated that in the U.S., 40 million birds are kept caged and captive—bored, lonely, and a long way from home.

Because irresponsible retailers sell birds and other animals to people who buy them on impulse—including some people who don’t have a clue about how to properly care for them—countless birds spend their entire lives unable even to use or stretch their wings, confined to small cages, and deprived of the vital companionship of other birds.

Driven mad from boredom and loneliness, caged birds often become aggressive, neurotic, and self-destructive. They pull out their own feathers, incessantly bob their heads, peck over and over again at cage bars, and shake or even collapse from anxiety.

Just as there are puppy mills, there are now enormous bird factories, where breeders warehouse thousands of parrots and other exotic birds and remove their offspring in order to sell them. These birds are frequently kept in dim lighting and confined to dirty cages, where they are unable to fully stretch their wings. Like dogs on chains, caged birds crave freedom and companionship, even if they have always been deprived of those things.

Cruel Killing of 13 Dogs, Shot to Death by the Malaysian (Seremban) Municipal Council!

~Eng visiting the 11 dogs that he had transferred to a temporary shelter in Membau, several kilometres from his house in Seremban. Eng had kept 26 dogs until the incident, when half of them were shot dead by a team from the municipal council~

66-year-old Eng Her Sun is a hero for giving stray dogs a home, but to some of his neighbours he is a nuisance. On July 2006, the Seremban Municipal Council (MPS) shot 13 of the 26 dogs living with him at his terrace house in Taman Desa Rasah. While the council’s action has caused an uproar among animal lovers who described it as cruel, some of the odd-job worker’s neighbours defended it.

~ Eng getting into his car with several of his dogs in an attempt to drive off with them from his home at Taman Desa Rasah in Seremban during the incident~

We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:
Cruel Killing of 13 Dogs, Shot to Death by the Malaysian (Seremban) Municipal Council to the prime minister's departmen.

Sponsor : Nick Josh K. Karean, Humane Society (Malaysia)

As shown in the link above , the government of Malaysia did not respond to this petition's 2000 signature support to use our advise in implementing humane education, humane law enforcement, animal legal defense and legislative/law improvement/changes relating to all animals in Malaysia in the year of 2006. We don't really understand why even a single signature is required to implement humane values in our society? How much more signatures is needed before a government will embrace this humane support request? Is it so hard to become a humane society?

Petition Goal

Though the Eng's has been described as animal hoarders by the Malaysian Municipal Council and those who are in favor of that understanding, and in the inhumane action taken by them, this petition is not in anyway trying to make the Eng's look like they were indeed animal hoarders.

This petition is only trying to show what humane alternatives could have been taken based on the believe, accusation and excuses given by the Malaysian Municipal Council, and those who are in favor of that understanding and in the inhumane action taken by them.

The goal of this petition is to gain the Malaysian government's support and cooperation to use our advise to implement humane education, humane law enforcement, animal legal defense and legislative/law improvement/changes relating to all animals in Malaysia.

We acknowledge the fact that there are many of those who dislike dogs and/or other animals in general, just like the way they would dislike some people too.

Therefore, we are trying to get government officials, judges, jury and the general public to understand, whatever our personal emotional feelings and/or mental thoughts towards a certain species are, may they be human or nonhuman, they all still deserve respect, fairness and humane treatment while justice is served when and where an abuse, cruelty or any form of injustice takes place.

We are trying to secure a better future for the animals in terms of welfare, protection and basic rights by looking at a bigger picture and working things out on a larger scale to help the Eng's, people who are in similar situations, and all animals in general no matter what species they belong too.

Petition Case

It is claimed that the Eng's, guardian of 26 dogs were hoarding animals, a human behaviour that involves the keeping of higher than typical numbers of companion animals (pets) which is against the law, and without necessarily having the ability to properly house or care for them.

Yes, animal hoarding can lead to serious dangers to health, both for the companion animal and their guardians because of the sanitation issues that keeping animals entails.

Whatever the accusation is/was, true or false, these guardians of 26 dogs did what they did nothing but out of love and compassion. The authorities should have realized that there are humane ways in dealing with issues such as these.

Unfortunately, instead working together to help each other out, and finding humane solutions, the Malaysian Municipal Council Enforcement Officers took a rather shocking and inhumane approach to deal with the matter...

Petition Advise for Signers

We understand that this incident is emotionally aggravating, but please present your comments/criticism in a positive and constructive manner that expresses integrity and professionalism, and without running counter to the basic principles of compassion and respect for others, no matter who they are or what they have done.

"It is strange to hear people talk of Humanitarianism, who are members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals, and who claim to be God-loving men and women, but who, nevertheless, encourage by their patronage the killing of animals... "

"I represent the Remembering Sheena Campaign which began after a German Shepherd was kept starving by her owner. The newspapers reported that the Dept of Veterinary Services did not attend to the repeated telephone calls reporting Sheena's abuse and then the court let the owner of Sheena free with only a RM100 even though the law provides for a jail sentence. Now with the 13 dogs shot by the authorities it shows a total lack of compassion and humanity in Malaysian authorities in dealing with animals. Let the people not look the other way. What profits a Man when he gains the whole world and loses his soul."

Dogs and cats in China need your help !

Massive, systematic cruelty, and extremely inhumane killing methods are used, involving severe panic, trauma and needless prolonged suffering. Dogs are tied up short by a thin wire metal tight around the neck so that they can hardly move, then stabbed in the groin area, blood begins to pour. With every move, the wire cuts deeper into their throats as they struggle in terror and pain desperately trying to escape in a pool of blood.The lucky ones bleed to death before being skinned, but often dogs are alive and fully conscious dying slow excruciating indescribable deaths. As each dog is killed other dogs can hear the screams and cries. All that matters to the killers, is that this method of slaughter causes least damage to the dogs fur - preserving its market value.German Shepherd dogs are the most commonly killed dogs in China, as their fur resembles the fur of wild animals such as coyote or raccoon - the same courageous and noble breed that guides the blind and does search and rescue, these intelligent and loyal dogs are being bred in huge numbers in the north of China.

Dogs and Cats Skinned Alive for Their Fur in China

Cats fare no better than dogs in China, the cats are killed by being hung by the neck from a piece of rope that tightens as the cats struggle causing them to eventually suffocate. Sometimes the cats are hung from a wire while water is poured down their throats through a hose until they drown. Long haired cats are kept as pets in China, yet ironically an estimated 500,000 short haired cats, mainly ginger or tabby coloured are raised for their pelts, estimated figures are that about a half million cats are killed each season from October to February. Cat fur is hard to distinguish from other furs once it has been dyed - President of a German company prominent in the cat fur trade.

Innocent cats, many of them stolen pets, are slowly and cruelly strangled while other cats watch, all await the same fate.

You came, you saw, and... SPEAK OUT! TAKE ACTION! TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
( Australia, the United States, Switzerland and five EU member nations - Italy, Denmark, Belgium, France and Greece – have already banned imports of dog and cat fur. But the European Union as a whole has no such ban.)

Voice 4 Dogs has actively campaigned for an EU-wide ban for more than five years, hence we were delighted in November 2006 when the European Commission issued a proposal to ban the import, export and sale of dog and cat fur across the 27 Member Nations of the EU. However, the proposed legislation is not a total ban since it contains provisions which allow the ban to be derogated from, and a major loophole that allows fur into the EU from dogs and cats killed for other purposes.

WHAT MORE CAN YOU DO?
-Tell everyone you know about the Chinese fur trade and how the dogs, cats and other animals have to live and how they have to die. Once people are aware, they won’t want to buy these products of suffering. If the market disappears, manufacturers will stop making these products
-Inform owners and managers of shops and department stores about the trade in dog and cat fur and ask them to not sell fur products.
-Boycott shops that sell fur, and politely but firmly explain your reasons to management. Tell them you won’t shop at their premises again until they stop selling fur and that you will encourage your friends and family and everyone in your community to do the same
-The Chinese pet products industry is hugely profitable (and it brings much more money to the booming Chinese economy than cat and dog fur sales.) This makes China vulnerable to a boycott that will hit them where it really counts: Tell the pet shop owners and management in your local area that you are boycotting products made in China as a protest against the Chinese dog and cat fur trade, and urge them to join the boycott by refusing to sell toys, leads, bowls or any other products that are manufactured in China.
-Write letters to local papers, contact local radio stations and tv news stations to raise awareness of the issue.
-Circulate our website address, http://www.voice4dogs.org/ to friends, family, neighbours and those in your address books, spread the word.
-And of course…don’t buy clothes or accessories or goods that are made of fur or are fur trimmed - remember that real fur is now frequently sold as fake fur.

Torturing a Bull for Saint John

We are constantly hearing from people about how tortured their souls and spirits are, because of the Church's action, or lack of it, when it comes to animal issues, and many of these people have left their church because of it and turned against Christianity. Toros de Coria is one of the most blasphemous and sadistic forms of "entertainment" that we have ever seen, and the Church's silence and acquiescence about this event is the primary reason it continues.

The picture above were sent by Rosa Mertens and are followed by two of her comments:

Rosa writes: Every year between the 26th and 29th of June in Coria, Extremadura, arguably the most backwards region of Spain when it comes to animal issues, a hapless bull is horribly tortured to death by the rabble. He is made to walk for hours while being tortured with darts, directed especially to his eyes and other delicate parts, until he gets so tired from the stress, the pain and the blood loss that he lays down to rest and that is when the barbarians fall on him and cut his testicles while he is still alive.

Rosa continues: No-one that has a minimum of sensitivity or conscience can understand what moves humans to do things like this but they do, and it happens all over Spain and also in parts of Mexico, Brazil...while the authorities at best ignore it, at worst declare it of "cultural interest" and promote it! Most of these events are dedicated to saints from the Catholic church (Saint John for the Toros de Coria).

We can understand why these hard hearted government officials and politicians support such cruelty: they are trying to buy votes, just as our politicians do when they kill innocent animals in hope of buying the votes of the 4% of Americans who hunt. However, we can not understand how the church, particularly the Catholic Church, can sit "idoly" by and support such ungodly and satanic torture, whether through their silence or actual support.

~If you are sickened by this event as much as we are, then speak out and help the church end its silence and take a stand against this event and all other forms of animal abuse and exploitation!~

LaSSie Langkawi Animal Shelter & Sanctuary Foundation

The Langkawi Animal Shelter and Sanctuary Foundation is set up to receive, rehabilitate and care for neglected, abused and needy animals. The organization also runs the Langkawi Island Animal Clinic a charity project aimed at the sterilization of the stray cat population. Both are non-profit ventures, staffed by volunteers and aimed at improving the lives of unwanted animals.

LASSie is a private organisation intiated by Narelle McMurtrie who set up Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort Langkawi in 1984. Narelle has a big heart for the animals and in the beginning accommodated a number of dogs which she saved from disastrous living conditions and gave them a home.
The Sanctuary cares for animals whose age, disposition or disability make them unlikely to find homes. Many of our animals are road accident or trauma cases and therefore need special love and attention. These animals are given the opportunity to live out their lives with dignity.
For stray cats on the streets, they are trapped and sterilized, then returned to their normal habitat. In this way the Sanctuary hopes to control the stray population. An adoption centre is also in operation.
Animals put up for adoption are spayed, neutered, dewormed and vaccinated. Astray wildlife brought to the shelter are treated and once healthy are then returned back to nature.

Cat sanctuary at Langkawi

The LASSie-cat sanctuary at langkawi is created and accommodates for stray,road accident and trauma cases. stray cats which are on the streets, they are trapped and sterilized, then returned to their normal habitat. The Sanctuary hopes to control the stray population. An adoption centre is also in operation. Animals put up for adoption are spayed, neutered, dewormed and vaccinated. The organization also runs the Langkawi Island Animal Clinic - a charity project aimed at the sterilization of the stray cat population.

The story of a bitch.

(Buffy lives in the house of Narrel at The Langkawi Animal Shelter )

The bitch Buffy was run over by a car and suffered a heavy injury of her spinal column which ties her up since then to the wheel chair. Eyewitnesses reported that the car have had enough space to avoid contact with the dog, because barely traffic was at this time; nevertheless, the driver went straight ahead and run over the dog without breaking just a single time.

Buffy was brought seriously injured, deaths near, into the clinic and we began immediately with the necessary rescue measures.

She suffered in her accident several fractured ribs, as well as chest bruises and lung bruises; she had big problems to breathe and the shock did his part to make worse her state. Buffys heart function had got off its balance and we had to revive her three times by heart massage and giving artificial respiration.

Buffy had, in addition, a severe spinal bruise, the resultant swell clamped the nerves which are responsible for the control of the abdomen.

After approx six hours intensive treatment, Buffys state improved so far that we could grant some rest to her. We laid her, wrapped in a warm blanket, on a mattress in the examination room and watched the night long over buffys.

During the following days she got better visibly and she started to eat by herself.Unfortunately, her back nerves were damaged by the persistent swell irreparable - she will not able to run no more.

Buffy was treated during five months in the clinic and she learned to handle with her impediment. Because she had neither bowel, nor bladder under control, she got baby diapers to which she got used rather fast. Now Buffy chuteed cheerfully, on her diaper bottom in the clinic around and greeted every new visitor, or patients effusively what the one, or other patient not always found completely so great.

We procured a wheel chair for Buffy, from England. Now Buffy became properly agil; she raced in the clinic area around and got used very fast to the new kind of the locomotion.

Buffy lives, in the meantime, belovedly and protected in the house of Narelle, in the Bon Ton Resort. She has there still other dogs around and may be so properly a dog.

Help close HSL !

Huntingdon Life Sciences ( HLS ) is one of the world's largest animal testing labs, operating two facilities in England and one the U.S. Everyday inside its walls , thousands of animals suffer and in painful and unnescessary tests. Exposed in five undercover investigations since 1989, HLS has given public a rare glimpse inside the vivisection industry. The horrors witnessed inside HLS have given rise to one of the most successful anti-vivisection campaigns in the history of the animals rights movement.

~ Killing dogs over a cup of coffee The real “life-saving” research going inside of HLS ~

Some of the more gruesome details revealed:

• 32 beagle dogs were locked in metal cages for 52 weeks. They were given Sucralose mixed in with their normal feed, and blood and urine samples were collected. At the end of the study they were killed by means of exsanguiation - they had their throats slit open and bled to death. They were then cut open and their organs - by now drained of blood so easier to dissect - were examined to test the product's toxicity levels.

• Four beagle puppies (or as HLS calls them – punching bags) were starved before being force-fed the super-sweet sugar powder. HLS employees then took blood samples from the jugulars of the infant dogs.

• An unspecified number of marmoset monkeys either died from the poisoning or were killed at the termination of the research at HLS.

• The report states that 12 of these monkeys, which were babies – under 10 months old – were force-fed Sucralose for seven weeks. Two of the primates died on the seventh day from brain defects, another primate was mysteriously killed after four weeks, and the remainder all were murdered at the completion of the seventh week. Some of the recorded observations from this study noted “in appetence, body weight loss, unwillingness to use hind leg, hopping, involuntary grip reflexes, salivation and subdued mood.”

• Huntingdon also used rabbits to study the effects of the product. These little animals were given 1200 times the expected daily intake and not surprisingly most died from the trauma. Many of the other rabbits suffered from convulsions, weight loss, and various intestinal disorders.

• Huntingdon also tested the product on pregnant rabbits, mice, and rats – killing both the mothers and the fetuses.

(Ships' cats thus goes back a very long time indeed; they have been valued not only for their pest-control attributes and for their remarkable ability to adapt to new surroundings, but for the companionship and sense of home and security they gave to sailors away from home for long periods, particularly in times of war. No doubt there are still plenty of ships' cats elsewhere: but, sadly, since 1975 they (and all other animals) have been banned from Royal Navy vessels on hygiene grounds. I would have thought having a cat on board was a great deal more hygienic than having rats, but it's been decreed otherwise.)

Do you know what declawing a cat does?

Many people report that they are happier with their cats after declawing, because it makes the cats “better pets.” Unfortunately, just as many people have discovered – too late – that declawing frequently leads to far worse problems than it solves. There is no way to know ahead of time into which category your cat might fall! There are other, better ways to solve behavior problems than radical and irreversible surgery.

what is declawing??

Declawing, which is rightly described as “de-toeing” when the same procedure is done to chickens, is the amputation of each front toe at the first joint (hind foot declaws are not commonly done but would be equivalent). This is necessary because, unlike a fingernail, the claw actually grows from the first toe bone. The procedure is so excruciatingly painful that it was once used as a technique of torture, and even today is the primary test of the effectiveness of pain medications. Recovery takes a few weeks, but even after the surgical wounds have healed, there are other long-term physical and psychological effects.

( ~ There are a few individuals who will always declaw their cats. Their own convenience and the safety of their belongings is their top priority, and whether or not it causes suffering to the cat is not a significant concern. Fortunately, most people truly love their feline companions and want to do what’s best for all concerned. If you are one of these wonderful people, please think carefully about this beautiful little animal who trusts you and relies on you for her very existence. ~) Please make the humane choice – DO NOT DECLAW!

( Petition to the Prime Minister )

Dear Animal Lovers and Advocates,As you may be aware, the SPCA started a petition to the prime minster to raise the cruelty fine from RM200 to a significantly higher fine of around RM10,000.00. The petition, which included the signatures of supporters, was supposed to be handed to the prime minister in October 2004. However, this has not happened, as they only managed to raise 20,000 signatures. Due to the insufficient number of signatures collected during the first phase of this petition, the SPCA is entering a second phase in hope to collect at least 100,000 signatures locally and internationally. Now they entering phase II stage of the petition.

~By signing , you are making a defference..~

Animal lovers all over Malaysia petition for a pro-active government stance on the prevention of cruelty to animals by passing effective and deterrant legislation:
1.
Increasing the cruelty fine from RM200 (since 1953) significantly higher to around RM 10,000.00 and increase jail time.
2.
A life time ban on animal ownership for those charged with cruelty to animals --- animals therefore cannot be returned to the owners.
3.
To urge the public to be responsible pet owners - spay/neuter their pets, adequate food, space, exercise, love and mediacal attention and to be considerate neighbours.

Remembering Sheena ..

~ In loving memory of Sheena ~
1998-2005

Who was she?

Born seven years ago, Sheena was a beautiful German Shepherd who died in August this year. The hope and happiness of a puppy were dashed when Sheena ended up in the hands of a cruel owner.The photos above are of Sheena in the last days of her life. These photos splashed across the national newspapers with her ribs sticking out and stomache bloated sitting by her rusty bowl of contaminated water broke hearts all across the country. Her owner, an engineer from Subang Jaya had kept her tied up and starving.

Based on the post-mortem report, Sheena was infected with ticks. She also suffered brittle bones due to malnutrition from young and the malfunction of all her major organs causing water retention which resulted in a bloated abdomen, empty bladder and stomach.According to newspaper reports, a neighbour had trice telephoned the Selangor Veterinary Department, but nobody went to save the dog. Finally, she called the SPCA and they rushed to the scene to find her still tied and sleeping in her own faeces.The rescue came too late. Sheena had to be put down on August 18, 2005. The post-mortem revealed that she had suffered neglect for years.Ironically, it is likely that Sheena, the very same dog starved by her owner, would still lick his hand today if she were alive.

Reports that came in just days after Sheena’s story broke.

Soon after Sheena’s ordeal was highlighted in the Press, the Star carried on its front page, the story of a Malayan Tiger that was butchered into four pieces. The perpetrator was apprehended and brought before the court, but set free after he paid a RM7,000 fine. The parts could easily fetch much more on the market than the fine he had paid.And only days later, another story appeared in the Star of a breeder who kept his cats in such deplorable conditions that even the published photographs of one cat did not look like a cat at all.

Why we should remember her?

Sheena stands for all the abused and neglected pets in Malaysia / world. The 21st century has seen an increase in reported abuse of domestic animals. Many of these pets are returned to their owners after the case is investigated, and prosecution takes place. The Animal Ordinance 1953 has a maximum of RM200 fine and/or 6 months imprisonment as penalty for abusing an animal. In Sheena’s case, her owner admitted guilt, and was fined RM100, not even a quarter of the price of a German Shepherd puppy, and definitely not even close to the price of her precious life. Sheena must be remembered, so that other animals won’t suffer.

~ Sheena ~ We always remember you...
