FLORIDA MADE IT LEGAL TO RESCUE PETS AND PEOPLE IN CARS

FLORIDA JUST MADE IT LEGAL TO BREAK INTO CARS TO RESCUE PETS, PEOPLE

WITH WARMER WEATHER APPROACHING, THIS LAW COULD REALLY SAVE LIVES. ​IF YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SEE A SWELTERING POOCH LOCKED INSIDE A VEHICLE, YOU NOW HAVE THE RIGHT TO PHYSICALLY INTERVENE AND RESCUE PETS WITH NO PUNISHMENT.


This law could save lives. ​If you live in Florida and sweltering pooch is locked inside a vehicle, you have the right to physically react and rescue pets
doggiescare.com

Recently, Republican Governor Rick Scott signed House Bill 131 into law, allowing Floridians to break into locked automobiles to rescue pets or vulnerable people who are “in imminent danger of suffering harm.”
The bill comes as a direct response to the growing number of incidents where pets and children have died because they have been left in overheated cars.
However, the new law will only protect breaking into a vehicle under strict guidelines. If you’re faced with the situation, here’s what you need to know:
– First, you must check that the vehicle is locked.
– After doing so, call 911 or law enforcement before entering the vehicle or immediately after rescuing the child or pet.
– Finally, use no more force than is necessary to break in — and remain with the person or animal until first-responders arrive.
House Majority Leader Dana Young, R-Tampa, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Coral Springs, and Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, ushered the proposal through the Legislature this session with unanimous support.

EU: Glyphosate’s time is up!



We’re one step away from a glyphosate-free EU. For the third time in a row, member states have refused to back the Commission’s proposed licence extension for weedkiller glyphosate.

But the Commission won’t take no for an answer, and will try to force through a last-ditch appeal in Brussels June 24. Otherwise, a whole lot of Monsanto’s Roundup will be coming down from shelves across Europe this year.

Instead of heeding the cancer warnings of the WHO, the European Commission has tried to do Monsanto’s dirty work by pushing through a licence extension despite experts agreeing that a ban of the pesticide is necessary to prevent contamination of our food, water, and soil.

Tell EU member states to deal the final blow and reject any extension of the glyphosate licence on June 24.

Together we’ve created a mass movement opposing the continued use of Monsanto’s favorite pesticide -- from which contamination has been detected in food, clothing, personal hygiene products and even breast milk. And governments are finally taking notice.

France, Germany, Italy, and others all abstained from the last vote on the glyphosate extension, reflecting growing consensus that the pesticide is bad news for the people of Europe. And if we can make sure the Commission fails again to gain a qualified majority on June 24, glyphosate’s time will be up by the end of the month.  

SumOfUs members have reached across the world to stand with people resisting Monsanto and other agrochemical giants. Thanks to public pressure and sound science, countries like France, Colombia, the Netherlands, and Sri Lanka have placed restrictions on glyphosate. But we know the chemical industry has a stranglehold on the European Commission, so we need to raise our voices now to make sure EU member states oppose any extension of glyphosate’s licence.

Tell EU member states that glyphosate’s time is finally up.  

This is the place where...

...monkeys are set on fire and left 

to DIE in tremendous pain!

Petitioning: Mridula Sinha – Governor of Goa

Goa is a state in Western India with coastlines stretching around the Arabian Sea. It has a population of over 1.8 million inhabitants and is one of India’s most visited places. Millions of tourists are attracted by the white sandy beaches, spleding, crystal clear waters and powerful culture sites.
Unfortunately, the region has a dark secret. A blatant and unreal abuse of innocent primates: hundreds of macaque monkey suffer a grim fate each year. They are severely neglected, captured by villagers and mistreated in the most inhumane way, including being set on fire. Later, they are chained up and left to die, for all sorts of abhorrent reasons. On most occasions, it is simply for their sheer amusement. Some other times, the monkeys simply wanted something to eat, but villagers claimed they were causing havoc in their communities.

On 18 June 2016, the action of Vegan Impact

On 18 June 2016, the action of Vegan Impact echoed to the call of general de gaulle who championed the resistance and freedom.
As in 40, we are faced with a choice for the animals, to be part of the oppressors or resistant so of vegans.
The animals are like us of sentient beings, possessed of emotions, yet the human being continues to exploit them, maiming them, slaughter them and ignore them.
We want to educate the public, on a way of life ethics, who refuses the oppression of animals: the vegan who is refusing to use animals to feed, dress or be entertained.
It is time that we stop condoning this holocaust animal in our society. It is high time that we are moving towards a world of ethics, a world vegan!

The Declaration Of Animal Rights

The Declaration Of Animal Rights

The Declaration of Animal Rights - a project of international animal rights and planet conservation group Our Planet. Theirs Too - was drafted in May 2011 and publicly read and signed on June 3rd of the same year, on the 1st National Animal Rights Day in the US, in the city of New York.

The Declaration was copied onto a large scroll of paper, which since then has been traveling the world and collecting people's signatures, drawings and notes. It is now 100 feet long, with almost 2,000 signatures. Once it reaches 50,000 signatures, the scroll will be sent to the White House, the UN, The EU Parliament and other world leaders, in order to show them what we, the citizens of this world, think of our fellow animals and their rights. We will do this until The Declaration of Animal Rights is recognized all over the world, and the rights proclaimed in it are protected by global law!

You can read and sign The Declaration of Animal Rights here.

Yummy and vegan

This is a cruelty free cake to die for... ;)

An idea that saves lives!

Too many sea animals get killed by plastics that have conquered sea world.
So... a company made edible plastic that will both save and feed fish, birds and sea animals...!
