Every New Pet Dog In UK To Have A Microchip

The latest news on animal care from UK is that every new pet dog will be micro-chipped. The British government feels these regulations are essential to combat dangerous animals.

Now, each puppy born and each dog sold will have an electronic chip implanted under the skin. Details of each animal will be placed on a national database accessible by police and the RSPCA.

It is a compulsion, which is not being liked by dog owners. It would apply to anyone breeding dogs - whether a breeder or a private pet owner, whether planned or unintentional.

Animal experts have however openly criticized the compulsion because they know that this will only put more pressure on law abiding dog owners amongst Britain's eight million dogs and will do nothing to end the problem posed by the more dangerous breeds such as pitbulls and Japanese tosas.

Basically, this compulsion will have no impact on people who have dangerous dogs but instead will put burden on law abiding farmers who need dogs for their work. It only means they will be stuck with another expense and piece of legislation to obey. Each microchip costs around 35 pounds. A vet can put the small rice grain sized chip between the dog's shoulder blades, under the skin using a needle and special syringe.

British government said this is necessary because since 2009 there has been many dangerous dog attacks that have killed quite a few people. Last year, more than 1500 banned dogs were held by the Metropolitan police in London.

But animal lovers know that this is just plain bureaucracy that would lead to no concrete results only increase monetary expenses of the law abiding citizens.

Urge Fortnum & Mason to Drop Cruel Foie Gras

Following talks with PETA in 2008, Fortnum & Mason stated that it would no longer sell duck foie gras. I am sorry to tell you that Fortnum & Mason continues to sell goose foie gras in its store and serve duck foie gras in its restaurants.

All major supermarkets in the UK have refused to stock foie gras, and celebrities such as Sir Roger Moore and Kate Winslet have spoken out against the vile product. Despite numerous attempts to contact Fortnum & Mason this year, the retailer refuses to respond to our requests to meet and discuss ending the sale of this "delicacy of despair". Having previously persuaded both Selfridges and Harvey Nichols to drop foie gras, Moore is joining forces with PETA once more and has now turned his attention to Fortnum and Mason, starting by firing off a letter to the retailer.

Deprived of everything that is natural to them, ducks and geese who are used in foie gras production suffer from frustration and stress. They are crammed into tiny pens or individual cages fouled with faeces and blood and often develop skeletal disorders and respiratory problems as a result. Pipes are shoved down their throats several times a day to force approximately two kilograms of grain, maize and fat into their stomachs. In human terms, that is the equivalent of roughly 20 kilograms of pasta.

The pipes sometimes puncture the birds' throats, causing them unbearable pain and making it impossible to drink. Pumps used to force food into the birds' stomachs can cause severe tissue damage and internal bleeding. This painful overfeeding process can even cause the birds' internal organs to rupture. Those who survive the forced-feedings suffer intensely as their livers swell to up to 10 times their normal size. After several weeks of this torture, the birds are hung upside down and slaughtered, and their livers are sold as foie gras.

You Can Help

Join compassionate people around the world in speaking out against the sale of this product. Please contact Fortnum & Mason and urge the company to immediately stop selling and serving foie gras.

Sir Roger Moore's Latest Film

Sir Roger Moore has teamed up with PETA once again to produce his latest film outing – an exposá of the cruel treatment suffered by ducks and geese in the foie gras industry.

Why is Sir Roger crying fowl over foie gras? Ducks and geese who are raised for foie gras are abused in ways so cruel and grotesque that its production is banned in the UK and many other countries. Foie gras (French for "fatty liver") is produced by ramming pipes down the throats of ducks and geese and pumping vast quantities of grain mash directly into their tiny stomachs until their livers become painfully diseased and enlarged. In some cases, the animals' stomachs split open, and the birds painfully bleed to death.

Those who survive this terrible treatment are later killed, and their diseased livers – swelled to up to 10 times their normal size – are sold as foie gras. Even though foie gras has been deemed too cruel for production in the UK, it is still legal to sell it here.

Investigations into foie gras farms in Europe and the US have all revealed the same thing: sick, dying or dead animals – some with serious injuries from having the force-feeding pipe rammed so violently down their throat that it ripped a hole in their neck. An Animal Protection and Rescue League investigation found that ducks on one foie gras farm had bloody beaks, and their wings were twisted together.

PETA is pushing forward in our campaign to end the misery of ducks and geese who suffer so greatly for this "torture in a tin". Although we are achieving victories, millions of birds are still crammed into tiny pens or cages, suffering the horror of being force-fed via a tube shoved down their gullets several times a day. To help us help them and other animals who are suffering, please make a donation today.

Stop Application to Build the Largest Dairy Factory Farm in the UK

Nocton Dairies Ltd has resubmitted its application to build a huge industrial factory farm. Despite a reduction in the number of cows from the 8,100 indicated in the original proposal, this facility would still be the largest dairy farm that the UK has ever seen, and if built, it would condemn 3,770 cows to a life of misery and suffering. Please help by urging North Kesteven District Council to reject the application.

If this mega-dairy is approved, it will set a precedent for more of these animal prisons to appear across the country. We have to act fast! The council's official public consultation on the proposal is happening over the Christmas period, so please ask everyone you know to voice their objections as soon as possible!

According to Nocton Dairies' plan, the cows on this factory farm would spend their lives in cramped and filthy conditions and be kept entirely indoors for potentially months at a time. They would be deprived of everything that is natural and important to them, including the right to socialize and raise their young.

Cows on dairy factory farms are forced to produce unnaturally high yields of milk, and many are killed before they reach the age of 5 as a result of physical exhaustion. Nocton plans to milk the cows three times a day, as opposed to the normal two, thus increasing the suffering of the cows and exhausting them even faster. Cows naturally live for 20 years or more, but on factory farms, most are slaughtered between the ages of 4 and 7. Cows are repeatedly impregnated only to have their calves torn away from them within a couple days of birth. Female calves enter the same hellish existence as their mothers, and male calves, who are seen as a byproduct of the dairy industry, are either shot at birth or sold to the meat industry.

Please send a polite letter to the members of the North Kesteven District Council voicing your objection to this application and urging them to reject the proposal. The closing date for objections is 11 January 2011. Objections submitted to previous applications by Nocton do not count, so please object now even if you have already done so in the past!

Dioxin Animal Feed Scare Shuts German Farms

More than 4,700 German farms have been closed after large amounts of animal feed were found to be contaminated with dioxin, a poisonous chemical.

Officials insist the levels of dioxin do not pose a risk to humans, and that the closures are only a precaution.

Most of the affected farms are pig farms in Germany's Lower Saxony region. Meanwhile, the EU has warned that eggs from farms affected by dioxin have entered the UK in processed products destined for human food.

The eggs had been sent to the Netherlands for processing and then on to the UK where they were likely to be destined for use in the production of a variety of food stuffs including mayonnaise and pastries.

The dioxin scare has prompted South Korea to block imports of German pork and poultry products from reaching consumers due to health concerns, local media reported on Friday.

Last week, more than 1,000 German farms were banned from selling eggs after dioxin was found in eggs and poultry.The origin of the contamination has been traced to a distributor in the northern state of Schleswig Holstein, where oils intended for use in bio-fuels were accidentally distributed for animal feed. Initially, the scare was confined to Germany but then it emerged that a batch of eggs had been exported to Holland and from there to Britain.

Stop Construction of the UK's Largest Mega-Dairy

Factory dairy farms subject their animals to all kinds of cruelty. The cows are fed growth hormones to increase milk production. Their tails are cut off without anesthesia so they won't contact auto-milking machines. The poor animals are artificially inseminated continuously. To top it if, they endure all of this in small, filthy disease-ridden stalls.

Now, the UK's Nocton Dairy wants to create the largest factory dairy in that country -- at least 4,000 cows. Shockingly this is only half the number of cows Nocton would like to house.

Public outcry forced the dairy to shrink its original plans, but even this is unacceptable.

We only have until January 11 to tell the North Kesteven District Council to stop this large-scale cruelty. Add your voice -- urge the Planning Director to reject permits for Nocton's super dairy.
