EMERGENZA ATTENZIONE:SALVIAMO AMERICA!

Aiuto, siamo in ritardo!

SIAMO IN RITARDO PER FAVORE FATELO SUBITO

Mandate per favore la lettera-tipo qui sotto, che racconta vari episodi di crudelta' avvenuti nei laboratori di HLS. Aggiungete solo il vostro nome e cognome in fondo.

To Whom It May Concern

I am writing to you regarding your business relationship with Institute
of Animal Technology (IAT) and HLS. It has come to my attention that
your hotel group is hosting the IAT's UK congress in March 2008. Some of
the delegates are from HLS, the most exposed animal testing laboratory
in the world.
The IAT is the body representing thousands of UK animal technicians who
work in laboratories, inflicting suffering and killing the animals
supposedly in their 'care'. If this conference goes ahead, I will
henceforth boycott all MacDonald hotels and resorts, and will encourage
others to do the same.
Numerous undercover investigations have revealed animal technicians
grossly abusing animals in many different labs across the world, the
most well-known instance of which is the footage obtained at Huntingdon
Life Sciences of workers punching beagle puppies in the face.
Steve Owen, a key employee of Huntingdon Life Sciences, was instrumental
in organising the conference in 2003 in Ireland and many HLS employees
are members of the IAT. The IAT tried to hoodwink the CityWest Hotel in
Dublin by not disclosing the nature of their organisation.
You may not be aware that HLS is the world's most exposed animal testing
laboratory. They have repeatedly been caught out on film committing acts
of cruelty both in the US and the UK. They have been caught punching
beagle puppies, and cutting open live primates without painkillers. They
have been exposed for shoddy work, and falsified data. During one study
on wild caught baboons, HLS broke the law 520 times but were never
prosecuted.

In late 2007, a senior scientist from HLS in the USA has filed a lawsuit
after he claims he was being pressured into falsifying data. This is a
sham of a company with a poor reputation and I should not think you
would like to be associated with this, or members of the IAT who work
there.

I don't expect you to take my word for it but you can see the cruelty
yourself, as shown on national TV; http://www.shac.net/HLS/exposed.html.
Anyone who goes to work to inflict suffering on animals and kill them in
pointless, unscientific experiments should not be welcome at MacDonald
Hotels and I ask you to make a compassionate decision and to cancel this
congress.

Thank you for your time, and I do hope that you will be reconsidering
your position and no longer supporting this cruelty.

Best regards,
.... nome cognome ...

PROTESTA CONTRO L'UCCISIONE DI MASSA DEI CANGURI.

http://www.KinshipCircle.org 
La
quota commerciale di uccisione dei canguri per il 2007 supera i
3.6milioni di canguri. Parte della pelle e della carne è usata nel
mercato interno ( dal 60 al 70 % della carne viene impiegata nel cibo
per animali d'affezione in Australia) mentre il resto è esportato in 55
nazioni come pellame o carne per il consumo umano. La pelle è molto
usata per calzature sportive, guanti e accessori.

Seguono gli indirizzi mail a cui inviare la lettera di protesta, prima separati, poi tutti insieme in blocco:

Peter.Garrett.MP@aph.gov.au, peter.cochrane@environment.gov.au,
Kerry.Smith@deh.gov.au, info@environment.nsw.gov.au,
kangaroo.management@environment.nsw.gov.au, info@kangaroo-industry.asn.au,
public.affairsus@dfat.gov.au

..e poi la lettera di esempio, che si può sintetizzare cosi':
 
Honorable Officials of Australia:
 
Kangaroos are Australia's national icon and beloved worldwide. They deserve enforceable
protections. Instead, animal welfare oversight is virtually nonexistent.
The commercial slaughter of kangaroos for meat, fur and leather demeans
Australia's global image. I call upon politicians to phase out kangaroo
shooting altogether. In the meantime, please rein in mass kill quotas that
endanger future populations.
I oppose the mass slaughter of Australian wildlife for both ethical and
ecological reasons. A two-year investigation shows kangaroo numbers in
shooting ranges -- areas also imperiled by drought -- have dropped about
59%, from over 57 million in 2001, to roughly 23.6 million in 2006.
The government claims some of the annual cull is "damage mitigation" because
kangaroos degrade grazing grounds. But there is not enough impartial
scientific data to justify slaughter. Destructive agricultural practices, on
the other hand, are proving unsustainable.
Australia's kangaroo kill is the largest known slaughter of land wildlife. I
respectfully ask the government to work toward the non-consumptive "use" of
kangaroos for tourism. Please maximize eco-tourism instead of killing.
Thank you,
