Ban Killing of Bluefin Tuna

Sign the petition here

Animal Equality has released an undercover investigation revealing the brutal slaughter of bluefin tunas, which takes place each year, between late May and early June, in Carloforte – a city in the district of Carbonia-Iglesias (Sardinia).

The tunas in the Mediterranean Sea are mainly caught by mobile traps, although traditional fixed traps are still used in the ‘tuna slaughter of Carloforte’. The footage reveals the different stages of the slaughter: how the frantic and panicked tunas are stacked on-top of each other, injuring themselves during the capture; and how they are violently struck with harpoons and dragged to the boats, they are then stabbed in the heart and left choking and bleeding to death.

Dr. Lorelei Wakefield veterinarian expert and Founder of University of Pennsylvania ‘Veterinary Animal Welfare Society’, has reviewed the findings and commented:

“Some fish were stabbed deeply in major arteries to bleed them out. Others were simply left to suffocate out of water. None of the tuna died quickly. They all thrashed around in a bloody mess for at least several minutes.”

We are urging the City Council of Carloforte, International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCE) and the European Parliament to call for the abolition of this cruel practice immediately, and the prohibition of tuna fishing worldwide.

M.A.C Makeup

Do you use cosmetics? Some of my friends use the brand, MAC, a pretty famous cosmetic brand. They have recently been removed from the safe from animal testing list by PETA.

If you use this brand, please stop buying from them because they're testing on animals!!

MAC Cosmetics No Longer Cruelty Free

"So what can you do?

• If you are concerned about buying animal friendly cosmetics, please no longer purchase MAC items.

• If you are a cruelty free or animal friendly blogger, please don’t feature MAC on your blog anymore. Please do a post about their change in testing policies and spread the word to your readers!

• Promote this post on social networking sites to let your friends know!

• Let your friends who use MAC know about the change!

• I urge you to contact MAC yourself and ask them to change their stance on animal testing!

I also urge you all to consider trying vegan cosmetics brands. There are so many out there who produce amazing products without any harm to animals!

Strays

Have you seen any stray animals around on the streets? Please call your local rescue!

However, if you are under circumstances where you can't reach the local rescue and fear for the well being of the animal, here are some ideas:

- Ensure your safety first, the animal, especially ones that are mistreated can be aggressive since you are a stranger to them. If you think the animal is aggressive (usually dogs) then stay away and waiting and notifying the local rescue is the best option. The dogs might not be vaccinated and so your health is more important.

- However, although the dog may be aggressive, it doesn't mean that you can't help! Set up some sort of temporary shelter (such as a cardboard box with some sort of rain cover and blankets) for protection against weather. Then ask a friend or neighbor to help you check on the dog regularly and give it food and plenty of water.

- Contact an animal shelter as soon as possible, don't try to find a home for the animal yourself because it's best for the animal to go to a proper and well maintained shelter rather than a home that doesn't provide a good enough environment

Cat Gods

In Ancient Egypts, Cats were treated as gods and goddesses.

Can we continue this treatment please?

Un-fur-givable

I'm sorry, but every time i see snapshots of celebrities by paparazzi strutting on the street with their oh-so-beautiful and oh-so-expensive fur coats, my inner self explodes as if it's a volcano.

Can you endure the pain of a fur coat? At least one animal is scarified through cruel means; drowning, gassed, hit on the head and hung and even electrocuted.

Unforgivable. Unfurgivable. 

Apologies
