Pauvre hop ! De nouveau des inquiétudes ! J'espère de tout coeur que tu vas la retrouver rapidement. Ça m'est déjà arrivé de perdre mes chats pendant quelques jours, mais ils sont toujours revenus. J'avais même perdu mon marmoune un hiver et je l'avais retrouvé sur une autre rue au bout de 3 jours... Il ne pouvait pas revenir parce que les bancs de neige étaient trop hauts ... Parfois, c'est parce qu'ils ont rencontré d'autres chats... As-tu essayé d'aller voir dans les environs, en faisant du bruit avec une boîte ou un sac de nourriture qu'elle connaît ?

Mercredi 02 avril 2008 Par AFP Les chercheurs de l'université britannique de Newcastle (nord-est de l'Angleterre) ont annoncé avoir créé des embryons hybrides en injectant de l'ADN humain dans des ovules de vache. "Les ovules humains sont très précieux et l'idée a germé que l'on pourrait contourner la pénurie en utilisant des ovules de vaches à la place", a expliqué le professeur John Burn, directeur de l'Institut de génétique humaine de l'université de Newcastle. Ces embryons ont été créés avec de l'ADN prélevé dans des cellules de peau humaine qui a été injecté dans des ovules récupérés dans des ovaires de vaches et dont les éléments génétiques avaient été retirés, a-t-il ajouté, précisant que les embryons avaient survécu jusqu'à trois jours en laboratoire. "Il est illégal et dangereux d'implanter ces cellules dans un être humain, mais elles sont très utiles pour la recherche", a souligné M. Burn. La loi britannique impose que les embryons hybrides soient détruits après quatorze jours. L'Autorité britannique pour la fertilité humaine et l'embryologie (HFEA) avait accordé mi-janvier des licences annuelles de recherche à l'université de Newcastle et au King's College de Londres qui travaille sur des ovules de lapines. La HFEA étudie les demandes de licences au cas par cas. L'Autorité avait donné en septembre 2007 son feu vert à la création d'embryons hybrides, un procédé qui vise à pallier le manque d'ovocytes humains destinés au clonage d'embryons à des fins thérapeutiques. L'équipe scientifique de Newcastle espère atteindre une survie de six jours afin de pouvoir créer des cellules souches qui pourraient être utilisées pour étudier certaines maladies. Une proposition de loi très controversée sur la "Fécondation humaine et l'embryologie", déjà approuvée par la Chambre des Lords (Chambre haute), doit être débattue le mois prochain par la Chambre des Communes. Elle prévoit notamment d'aller plus loin en matière de création d'embryons hybrides ou encore la possibilité de recourir à des "bébés donneurs" pour tenter de sauver la vie d'un frère ou d'une soeur atteint d'une maladie génétique.

Aujourd'hui à la caisse d'un magasin où je me trouvais, on demandait des dons pour les athlètes qui s'en iront en Chine pour les Olympiques. J'ai répondu tout fort, devant une lignée de gens qui attendaient pour payer, que ça ne m'intéressais pas d'encourager nos athlètes à se rendre dans un pays qui torture atrocement les animaux... -

Une lettre que David lui a adressé «Les amis des n'animaux Richard Martineau Journal de Montréal 01/04/2008 06h02 On reconnaît là le ton d’un carnivore dérangé dans sa tanière, celui qui cependant aimerait goûter aux plaisirs végétariens, mais du bout des lèvres et seulement quelques fois, pour être à la mode comme ses copains et ses copines branchés des médias, pour ne être complètement à contre-courant de l’évolution humaine. Mais Martineau, comme beaucoup d’autres carnivores, lutte intérieurement, car disons le tout net que c’est bon, la viande! Et c’est d’ailleurs le refrain que Martineau entend depuis qu’il est tout petit devant les fourneaux de sa maman. Mange ta viande mon ptit Martineau pour que tu sois fort ! C’est aussi un refrain qui est repris en cœur par tous les médias gras-trans qui font défiler les hamburgers, les jambons, et toute la Création à plumes et à poils qu’on veut mettre au centre du menu de l’Occidental. Et c’est réussi, car nous sommes passés en quelques millénaires de cueilleurs pacifiques quasi-végétariens, à chasseurs, puis d’éleveurs traditionnels à consommateurs de masse débiles. Pythagore disait que les végétariens eux, au moins, savent pourquoi ils sont végétariens car ils sont passés par une phase de réflexion n’ayant pas effleurée le cerveau du carnivore qui suit l’exemple de ses ancêtres aveuglement. C’est là la différence fondamentale. Maintenant, notre culture de violence envers les animaux et les humains, s’accommode mal des nouveaux croisés de la cause animale qui agitent leurs banderoles dans un monde si peu respectueux de la condition humaine. Pourtant, il faut expliquer aux journalistes de la pensée dominante, que les origines de la maltraitance envers les animaux et de celle envers nos semblables sont les mêmes. Sans entrer dans les détails, c’est la volonté du fort d’imposer sa loi sur le faible. S’il est politiquement correct de lutter contre le racisme, le sexisme, le classisme, et tous les autres isms, dès lors pourquoi ironise t-on sans cesse sur les défenseurs des « n’animaux ? » Ne voit-on pas du côté de ceux qui se disent libres penseurs que le spécisme fait bonne figure parmi les autres formes de domination et d’oppression qui jalonnent notre superbe « civilisation.» Si des gens sont si peu tendres envers les chasseurs de phoques quand ceux-ci meurent, je ne pense pas que c’est automatiquement parce qu’ils sont haineux envers le genre humain et qu’ils représentent d’ailleurs l’ensemble des militants. Toute mort accidentelle est déplorable ; la fin de la vie est la pire des sanctions pour un être en parfaite santé et heureux de vivre. Cela dit, c’est l’occasion pour les carnivores de sortir leurs couteaux et de découper les défenseurs des droits des animaux pour quelques phrases maladroites et qu’on ne pense pas vraiment. La proie est si facile. Mais cela ne remet pas en cause le fond du débat sur le spécisme et la violence abjecte que les puissants de ce monde, les dominants, nous présentent comme anodine, normale et faisant partie de l’ordre des choses tous les jours de notre vie. Nos petits-déjeuner, nos lunchs, nos soupers en disent long sur le peu de considération que nous avons pour les animaux et la vie en générale. Poussés par la publicité et vaincus par notre délabrement ou isolement moral, nous surconsommons des produits qui ne sont pas essentiels à notre bonheur, nos habitudes alimentaires conduisent notre santé et notre planète à leur destruction. On peut jouer les cyniques à volonté et être même drôle, mais ce ton va s’user à la longue, alors que le mouvement pour les droits des animaux s’organise et devient plus fort. Martineau, vas-tu encore faire de l’ironie dans 50 ans? Voltaire pouvait se le permettre, mais toi,… et pour défendre le sang qui coule? Les animaux contrairement aux hommes tuent par instinct et non par plaisir, et si aucun loup ne se réjouit de la mort d'un proche, cela devrait forcer le respect. Non? » auteur: David Ruffieux

Ils ne méritent pas que tu te mettes dans cet état-là pour eux Valou ! Et c'est justement ce qu'ils recherchent. Mais je te comprends et je sais que ça fait quand-même du bien de leur vomir dessus ! Ça soulage ! Mais on aura beau se fatiguer à leur répondre, la lueur de leur petite veilleuse ne fera jamais plus de lumière. Ils sont limités à vie !

Bravo pour ta belle lettre Valou ! Si seulement ça pouvait leur mettre un peu de plomb dans la tête... ! Mais je crois qu'on se fatigue pour rien car j'ai bien l'impression, que plus on répond à leurs conneries, plus ça les fait jouir. Ce sont des petits chroniqueurs de basse-classe, hargneux, stupides et inintéressants. De pauvres caves bornés qui n'ont rien d'intéressant à dire ou à écrire et qui s'énerve le poil des pattes dès qu'ils voient que leur sujet commence à attirer l'attention. Ils ne feraient pas long jeu s'ils travaillaient en France ou ailleurs en Europe. On les sortiraient à coups de pieds au derrière et ça ne serait pas long. Leurs insultes me coulent sur le dos comme de l'eau sur le dos d'un canard.

Posted on Mon, Mar. 31, 2008 Dozens of animals, alive and dead, found in Pa. home The Associated Press UNIONTOWN, Pa. - Animal rescue workers and police raided a Fayette County home and found many dogs, along with the carcasses of several other animals. Authorities say the dead animals were found throughout the first and second floors, and garbage and animal feces covered the floors of the Uniontown home, about 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Police say 17 dogs and two turtles were taken out of the home alive. Authorities also took 14 dead turtles, four dead chinchillas and one dead bird from the home. Authorities say the owners weren't home when it was raided on Monday. Earlier this month, humane officers raided a Frazer Township animal sanctuary northwest of Pittsburgh and found several hundred cats, many sick and dying. Dozens of dead cats also were found. -------------------------------------- TARENTUM, Pa. - Hundreds of sick and dying cats were removed from a fortress-like sanctuary Friday in a raid brought on by worried animal lovers and a county worker who infiltrated with a hidden camera. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dead cats were believe buried on the secluded 29-acre property known as Tiger Ranch Farm, about 20 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Owner Linda Bruno apparently meant well but lost track of the needs... ------------------------------------------ WOOD-TV updated 5 minutes ago (2 avril 2008) By Patrick Center ECKFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) -- A farm owner in Calhoun County is facing animal cruelty charges after 14 cows were found dead on his property, some improperly buried. Sheriff's deputies were notified March 17 of a situation at the farm on F Drive South near 22 Mile Road in Eckford Township. The sheriff's office used a warrant Tuesday and arrested the farm owner, Jack Fouts, who later posted bond. A veterinarian determined the animals died from lice and emaciation. The 78-year-old Fouts said he didn't know the hay he purchased last year was infested with lice. Twenty-four other cows in poor condition on the farm have been medicated and are doing better. Fouts says he has been a cattle farmer for 40 years, and has "never been arrested before." He admits he didn't have all the money needed to treat his herd. "These are my pets. Why the hell would I want to kill my pets?" said Fouts. He says the cows have to be buried "200 feet from the stream" and six feet deep. But county officials said the animals were not properly deposited - in this case a criminal act. "There's a law that requires that if an animal is deceased, appropriate burial take place and it's for decease reasons - contamination, potential ground water or other type of water contamination," said Calhoun County Prosecutor John Hallacy. "We took a look at the information, the reports as well as the other evidence, photographs detailed information, regarding the animals and brought about these 14 charges." Animal cruelty had been a 93-day misdemeanor, carrying a $1,000 fine for each abuse. But under a new law, which went into effect Tuesday, if two or three animals are involved then it is a misdemeanor with a punishment of up to one year behind bars and a $2,000 fine. If four to 10 animals are abused then it is a two-year felony. If 10 or more animals are abused, or if it is a second offense, then it is a four-year felony and a $5,000 fine. Fouts won't be charged under the new law if he is convicted since the investigation dates back to mid-March. He will be arraigned sometime this week. ------------------------- Two charged with cruelty to animals in "animal hoarding" KSNW-TV An investigation by the Elk County Sheriff’s Office has led to a large seizure of animals located in the northern part of the county in what could only be described as “animal hoarding.” ELK COUNTY, Kansas, March 19, 2008 – An investigation by the Elk County Sheriff’s Office has led to a large seizure of animals located in the northern part of the county in what could only be described as “animal hoarding.” On March 13, 2008, the sheriff’s department seized 11 miniature horses, one pony, three full-sized horses, four donkeys, six llamas, five great pyranees-mix breed dogs, five smaller dogs and puppies, three sheep, two goats, four cats, two turkeys, seven head of cattle including two Scottish Highlander cattle, one chicken and two prairie dogs. The animals were all in various stages of neglect. Deputies also found the carcasses of four horses, numerous fowl, one dog, “a pile of dead goats” being fed upon by dogs. All of those animals were found to be in emaciated condition. Officers say the horses found were in such bad condition they aren’t sure they will be able to recover. The animals seized are all in the Sheriff’s custody. Ten charges of cruelty to animals have been filed against Billy G. Claycamp and Susan Lyles in connection with the incident. Additional charges are possible pending further assessment of the surviving animals. Stay with KSN for more developments. ------------------- Animal Ranch Raided; Hundreds Of Cats Found, Woman Arrested ThePittsburghChannel.Com updated 3:06 p.m. ET, Fri., March. 14, 2008 FRAZER TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Hundreds of sick and dying cats were retrieved Friday from a western Pennsylvania animal sanctuary following an undercover investigation by a humane officer who said the place had turned into a "slow-kill shelter." Humane officials and volunteers said it could take at least until Saturday to remove all the animals from the secluded 29-acre property known as Tiger Ranch Farm on Miller Drive in Frazer Township. Watch The Video Report (Updated at noon) Six hundred to 700 cats were found on the property and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dead ones were believed buried on the land, said Howard Nelson, director of the Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which organized the raid. "It's billed as a sanctuary, but no one person can take care of 750 cats," he said. Owner Linda Bruno apparently meant well but lost track of the needs of the animals she had hoarded for years, he said. "I found her to be in denial of the condition of the cats," Nelson said. "It's been a hard couple of days. We haven't slept. We were here all night. It's hard, but how can you not do it when the cats are suffering?" Bruno, also known as Linn Marie, 45, was arraigned Friday on animal cruelty charges. It was not immediately clear if she had an attorney. She was being held in the Allegheny County Jail, unable to post bond. Animal control agents and sheriff's deputies arrived about 7 p.m. Thursday. By midday Friday, at least a dozen cats had been euthanized at the site and more than 400 had to be medicated due to highly contagious diseases, officials said. The SPCA got a search warrant after a seven-month undercover investigation in which Butler County humane officer Deborah Urmann, working Saturdays as a volunteer, videotaped the operations using a button camera purchased over the Internet, officials said. "She claims she's a no-kill shelter, but really she's a slow-kill shelter," Urmann said. Urmann compiled up to 1? hours of video of the conditions in the fall. "I was scared because I knew that I really, really needed to get a lot of evidence so that I could stop the cruelty," Urmann said. "And, you never know when you are found out when you're working undercover, you know, what is going to happen. ... I'm still having heart palpitations." Workers wearing orange American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hats and hoodies on Friday carried animals in small cages to two small trucks. Nelson estimated 75 percent of the cats need significant veterinary attention, but said he was hopeful that 60 to 70 percent of the cats could be saved. Two animal ambulances were on-site Friday. An emergency shelter was set up at the Clarion County SPCA in Shippenville, Pa., to handle the animals that are being removed. Nelson said the animals were found in various places and conditions all over the property. Besides the hundreds of cats, Bruno had several dogs, several horses, a chicken and a goat. About 100 cats were living in a building that looked like a construction trailer. It was strewn with blood and feces and had two doors that enabled the cats to go out into a fenced area. Dozens of cats lived with Bruno in her ranch-style home, too, Nelson said. "You couldn't even breathe because of the ammonia," Nelson said, referring to the stench of cat urine. Becky Morrow, a local veterinarian, said officials hope to find homes for the cats once they are rehabilitated. She said animal lovers had been complaining to humane officers for years but had difficulty getting enforcement for a lack of specific information. "You can't get anything on them unless you have an inside person, which we did," Morrow said. Morrow said Nelson's group was spurred to act once they saw the undercover videotape, which showed dead and ill cats. Officials refused to release the tape Friday. Dr. Carolyn DeForest, a psychologist from Sewickley involved in volunteer animal rescue work, and Rebecca Reid, of Pittsburgh, with Voices for Animals, were two of those who complained about alleged animal abuse at the shelter. They were near the farm Friday, watching as workers cared for and rounded up the animals. One problem was that Bruno operated secretively and didn't allow people onto the property except from 10 p.m. to midnight, when she'd accept animals to shelter, DeForest said. "The place is like Fort Knox," she said. ------------------------------ Mar. 27, 2008 Malnourished horses seized in Jessamine About 70 removed from farm By Greg Kocher GKOCHER1@HERALD-LEADER.COM In what officials described as the largest animal seizure of its kind for Jessamine County, animal control officers and sheriff's deputies Wednesday began removing about 70 malnourished horses from a farm near the Kentucky River. Sharon Clagett was not arrested but was charged with multiple counts of second-degree animal cruelty, said animal control officer Mike Cassidy. An exact count wasn't known, but Cassidy said there were about 70 Tennessee walking horses on the property at the end of Hunters Ferry Road, 6 miles south of Nicholasville. Clagett's husband, Argo, and son, Charlie King, were not charged Wednesday, but Cassidy said he expected charges against other people as well. King said in a telephone interview Wednesday night that the horses were fed each day. "They just got in the shape they're in because of the lack of grass in the field," King said. He said last year's drought had damaged the pasture, but that the horses were fed with hay and corn. "I think it's an inside job. I think somebody got mad at us and called us in," King said. A complaint from an anonymous tipster led Cassidy and a veterinarian from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington to get a search warrant and inspect the animals on Monday. Cassidy said the veterinarian, whom he would not identify, found the horses to be malnourished. On a scale in which a healthy horse is a 4 and an obese horse is a 9, the average for the whole herd was 1.5, Cassidy said. The horses were taken to undisclosed locations in Jessamine and Garrard counties, said Kim Hurst, president of the Jessamine Humane Society. Jeff Maness, a friend of the Clagetts and King, said the atmosphere was tense at the farm as the animals were removed. "This is not a thoroughbred farm. We don't have millions of dollars," Maness quoted Sharon Clagett as telling animal control officers. Instead of seizing animals and bringing charges, the government should help people by finding and providing hay, Maness said. Second-degree animal cruelty is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $500 fine. A year is the maximum prison time a person could face even if there are 70 counts, Cassidy said, but the fine could be multiplied by the number of counts. Clagett is scheduled to appear in Jessamine District Court on April 23. --------------------- Charges laid in animal cruelty case Two men were charged yesterday in connection with a large animal cruelty case after 27 horses were found dead and 100 emaciated on a ranch northeast of Edmonton.
