An old man
walking on the beach at dawn noticed a boy picking up a
starfish and throwing it into the sea. When asked why,
the boy explained that the stranded starfish would die
if left to lie in the morning sun. ‘But there are
millions of starfish on this beach,’ said the old man.
‘How can your efforts make a difference? ’The boy picked
up another starfish and placed it in the waves. ‘It
makes a difference to this one,’ he said.

Immediate Urgent
Action
Please take action and sign the petition to the
Queen to
From The Welfare Reform Bill
Mostly this website concerns animal rights,
however more often than not human beings find that
their rights are being violated. Here in the
UK the government have by devious means pushed
through a welfare reform bill that is of serious
detriment to people who are chronically sick and
disabled, including children, and the unemployed. On
Wednesday 1st of February despite campaigning,
pleading, petitioning by sick and disabled people
the government have passed this detrimental bill
through the House of Commons. The last remaining
step is for the government to get Royal Assent from
the Queen.
Please read and sign this petition
Withhold The Royal Assent
This is the last hope for the disabled, sick and
unemployed. The unjust and ill thought out welfare
reform bill will plunge thousands of sick and disabled
people into poverty and isolation. For people who are
disabled, who are chronically sick or unemployed this
bill is a serious detriment. Without exception, and this
includes children, all will face a significant reduction
in their income. Sick and disabled people will be found
fit for work under the new Work Capability Assessment.
Five hundred thousand will loose Disability Living
Allowance DLA when it is replaced by Personal
independence Payment PIP. Young people born with a
disability or chronic illness who will never work will
have no dependent income and will have to reply on
parents or a partner. People who are suffering with
cancer will be required to go for a gruelling assessment
to claim benefit and be paced on a One Year time
limiting Employment and Support Allowance. These are
just a few of the devastating reforms that will
seriously effect the lives of people who are suffering
profoundly.
This bill will leave many homeless and destitute
struggling on a pittance. The bill is a disaster in the
making as without exception all disabled and chronically
sick people and the unemployed will loose income at a
time of rising prices, particularly of food, housing and
heating costs. Many will loose their homes, face a
deterioration of health and suffer the nightmare of fear
and insecurity.
Most sick and disabled people would love nothing more
than to be well and making a contribution but who by no
fault of their own are dependent on society for help.
For all who are dependent on the state for an income
through no fault of their own the future is bleak.
Please sign the above petition and pass it on.
Twitter, Facebook, My Space, blogs forums, any where you
can place a link to this petition.
This is our only hope to stop this reform passing
into law. If we do not act now the lives of many people
will be a nightmare of poverty and deprivation with many
forced to find jobs they are not well enough to do and
which are not available.

Update Feb 1st
Victory!!!!!!!
I have received the following
e-mail this morning February 1st:
Dear Christine,
Immediately after we learned that Air France was
planning to transport 60 live monkeys from
Bioculture's facility in
Africa to
Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories,
a notorious testing laboratory, PETA and several of our
international affiliates quickly mobilized our members
and supporters to take action.
Within 24 hours, supporters like you managed to generate
tens of thousands of e-mails, thousands of Facebook
posts and tweets on Air France's public sites, and
hundreds of phone calls to the airline's cargo offices.
Our unequivocal voice in behalf of animals was heard
loud and clear. We are excited to announce that Air
France has now confirmed that this shipment has been
canceled!
As part of PETA's ongoing efforts to encourage the
airline industry to refuse to transport primates
destined for cruel experiments, PETA is now urging Air
France to join many other leading airlines in enacting a
formal policy prohibiting all future shipments of
primates to laboratories. You can help these efforts by
clicking here and taking
action.
This victory couldn't have been possible without your
help. Thank you.
And my personal thanks to
anyone who signed and wrote e-mails

this success please click the link above to take further

Put an end to
famine petition
For
me personally the animal rights/vegan ethic
should include the welfare of our own species.
One of the
great injustices of mankind is that of allowing millions
of people to die of hunger. In the coming months as many
as 70,000 people in Somalia could die. In the last three
months 30,000 children have already died and 12
million people are at risk.
Please take
action today to prevent the deaths of thousands of
people
Please
watch the short video " The F Word:
Famine is the Real Obscenity” and sign the petition to
be sent to world leaders at the Group of 20 (G20) Summit
in November, they have the opportunity to break the
cycle of famine.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to
watch ONE’s new video “The F Word:
Famine is the Real Obscenity” and
sign the petition.
http://act.one.org/sign/hungry_no_more/
Dear world leaders,
The famine in Somalia could
kill 750,000 in the coming months,
and tens of thousands have already
died. When you meet at the Group of
20 (G-20) Summit in November, you
have the opportunity to break the
cycle of famine and ensure people
are hungry no more. Lives are in
your hands. Please keep the promises
you have made to the 2 billion poor
people who depend on farming for
their livelihoods.
The reasons for the famine in the
Horn of Africa are complex and
solutions are difficult, especially
in Somalia, but we can’t lose sight
of some simple facts:
1. 30,000 children have died in
just 3 months. Thirty thousand.
With over 12 million people at risk.
2. Famine is not a natural
catastrophe – drought doesn’t have
to lead to famine. It can be
prevented, as we’ve seen in much of
Kenya and Ethiopia.
In the 21st century, it’s an
obscenity that people are dying
because they can’t get enough food
to eat. Every one of those 30,000
children is part of a family – a
son, a daughter, sister or brother.
We can’t imagine what it must be
like to starve to death, but most of
us know what it’s like to lose
someone we love.
Please watch the film and make
use of the voice you have -- sign
the petition. It will make a
difference in putting pressure on
world leaders to do more to help
those in need right now, and live up
to promises already made to invest
in the things proven to work – early
warning
systems...irrigation...drought
resistant seeds… and of course,
peace and security.
Thanks!

Stop the
seal hunt more action you can take
Once again
Canada ignores pleas from compassionate people
world-wide to stop the barbaric seal hunt. This year
the Canadian government has sanctioned the mass

March 2011
Stop
the Annual Canadian seal massacre
Each year,
seal hunters in Canada participate in the largest mass
slaughter of marine mammals in the world. Hundreds of
thousands of seals could be slaughtered this season --
most before they're 12 weeks old.
Hunters descend on once peaceful seal herds, shooting
the seals at close range and beating pups with clubs.
The seals' bodies are then sold for their meat and
fur...

hunt is banned for ever.

Campaign to stop
Lidl selling reindeer meat
Can you imagine telling your children about Santa Claus
and his eight reindeer who pull the sleigh that brings
them their Christmas presents and than serve reindeer
for dinner?
Its
hard to understand such a mind set is it not, such a
bizarre incongruity. You can't imagine this can you.
Well Lidl, a supermarket chain are selling reindeer
meat. That's right reindeer meat.
Please read the details below and take part in VIVA'S
(Vegetarians International Voice for Animals) campaign
to ask Lidl to stop doing so:
"On the run-up to Christmas, supermarket chain Lidl is
shockingly selling reindeer meat.
Please ask them to stop.
Some reindeer in Nordic regions are herded with
snowmobiles and even helicopters, which causes a huge
amount of stress to these gentle wild animals. The
suffering can be so great that their muscles can
literally waste away. They may also be killed in methods
that could be illegal in the UK. Also, most are killed
so young that they never even see the first snowfall of
winter. Lidl say that they do not agree with these
methods, but selling dead wildlife promotes a trade that
puts all wild animals at risk.
Read Viva!’s
press release,,
which details why modern methods of reindeer herding are
so cruel.
Click here to find out how you can complain to Lidl.
Read the national coverage our campaign has had in
The Daily Mail and The
Mirror.
"
Please take part in this campaign if you can, even just
a short letter or e-mail can make all the difference.
There is a form letter for you to use, try to
personalise if you can but do send a letter or e-mail,
no matter how long or short, the most important thing is
to tell Lidl you object
Also please let Defra and or the Department of Rural
Affairs
know
that you are opposed to Badger culling. Please read the
following details and take action:
"Urgent: Object to badger
‘culling’! Please take this opportunity to tell
the governments both in England and Wales exactly what
you think about their plans to slaughter badgers. To
make things easier for you, we have written pre-prepared
messages to email or post.
Please note: both consultations close in

17).

Below you will
find a listing of Animal Rights campaigns, animal

Such action may include signing petitions or letter/email

Concerning
factory farming one of the ways we can demonstrate our
objections is quite simply to stop consuming animal
products such as meat (which of course includes fish), eggs and milk.

This is an
on-going section and new campaigns will be included from

comprehensive, there are many more campaigns than those
included here. Sadly animal cruelty continues on a wide
scale and while the focus here on this
website is mostly on the plight of factory farmed
animals, abuse and appalling cruelly takes place in many
other circumstances. If you know of any campaigns or
actions to stop cruelty to any animal and help improve circumstances for
all animals
please let me know and I will add it to the list.
Please
consider taking at least one action to stop the abuse of
animals.
Even if you
can take only one small action such as signing a

Petition
End The Use
Of Animal Testing
More than
3.5 million animals were used and abused in British
laboratories last year. Each one was once a living,
breathing, individual animal with a personality, a
unique view of the world, distinct needs and a desire
for life and freedom every bit as great as yours or
mine. Each one would have felt loneliness and
fear/physical or psychological pain, and many would have
gone through agony as they were experimented upon.
Please take action and
sign this petition to fight against animal testing in
the UK and throughout the world. This Petition will be

Animal Rights Advocates is a volunteer, non-profit
organization in Korea whose members support and promote
animal rights. We believe that animals have a right to
live their lives free from tyranny and suffering.
As in other countries, the exploitation and abuse of
animals is a constant problem in Korea. It is made worse
by Korea's very poor animal welfare reputation and its
weak and ineffective animal protection laws. In general,
animals are not given much regard and the general public
is uninformed about animal issues. These are among the
reasons why Korea is a hell on earth for many creatures.
KARA works constantly to educate the public and raise
awareness of the ethical issues surrounding the
treatment of animals in Korea. Through this we hope to
bring about lasting change.
Actions you

You can

Here is his
story:
"Hello my name is ET.
I know I look strange to you but happily the other sheep
are not disturbed by my appearance. I was only 5 months
old when I was attacked by this dog. It was terrifying
and so painful. I was screaming and the dog was growling
and biting through my neck. It had me pinned on the
ground. I couldn't escape. There was a public footpath
in the field and some walkers were on it. They must have
heard all the noise and came to see what was happening.
I owe them my life. I can’t remember a great deal of
what happened next. I think I was in shock and had lost
a lot of blood. The dog had ripped my neck open. The
walkers took me to a man who, although he hurt me at the
time, did all he could to save my life. He was
tremendously kind. I am 3 years old now and have
terrible scars on the back of my neck and no ears but I
can hear perfectly well especially when Janet comes down
the field with Rich Tea biscuits. They are my
favourites. I know that the dogs who live here at the
Sanctuary won’t hurt me. My special friend is Jessica.
She is a pure bred Leicester and is white and she has
enormous ears – makes up for the lack of mine. She is 14
years old but I'm not concerned by the age difference .
It seems to be quite a status symbol here at the
Sanctuary to be a toy-boy. I don’t want to be attacked
by dogs ever again I don’t think I would survive the
shock. It’s safe here. Please sponsor me."

California. Our shelters rescue, rehabilitate and
provide lifelong care for hundreds of animals who have
been rescued from stockyards, factory farms, and
slaughterhouses. Here, the animals are given all the
care and love needed to recover from a lifetime of abuse
and neglect. All of the animals have nourishing food,
spacious, clean barns, and acres of green, sunny
pastures in which to roam."

sending an e-mail in support of the bill to ban tail
docking for cows
"Many
large-scale dairy producers routinely cut off a large
portion of their cows’ tails. A bill has been passed by
the state Senate to ban the cruel and unnecessary
practice of tail docking in California, but the dairy
industry is telling your state assembly members to
oppose the measure. Your voice is needed! Please ask
your state assembly member to support this modest but
important reform."

The Site For
Animals
A website
promoting justice for animals. Includes Information
highlighting atrocities committed to animals around the
world and some of the inclusions have action you can
take.
"If a great
change is to override human tyranny of animals, a great
collection of human minds will by word and deed
authorize such change. And the inevitable opposition
will appear to be opposed to the decrees of Justice
itself, rather than the fervent desires of a
compassionate multitude. Factual cause, however
shocking, can
incite desires for a legal and moral change of the moral
status of animals broadly defined.
This site is a huge amalgam of factual cause not
publicized by your newspaper."
