Ils ont interviewé le propriétaire de l'entreprise Aux Champs d'Élisé. Il a dit que le jeune de 14 ans a été incité par l'enquêteur de Gan à répéter ces gestes pour le film et que l'autre plus âgé voulait simplement achever le canard massacré par le jeune et qu'il pourrait même être question que l'entreprise poursuive Gan bien qu'il soit trop tôt pour l'affirmer à cette étape-ci... Ça ressemble bizarrement à cette histoire de phoques dont des chasseurs accusaient des défenseurs des animaux d'avoir fait souffrir un phoque pour les besoins de la caméra ! QUAND IL S'AGIT DE DÉFENDRE LEUR BOUT D'GRAS, ILS L'ONT L'AFFAIRE HEIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not you, it's meat In kitchens across the country, love lives hang in the balance: Can herbivores and omnivores really co-exist? It takes soy, salad and a whole lot of compromise, writes Patrick White PATRICK WHITE From Thursday's Globe and Mail September 27, 2007 at 8:38 AM EDT On a bleak October afternoon in 1910, 82-year-old Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy packed some clothes, crept past his slumbering wife Sonia and bolted for the nearest train station. After 48 years of marriage, Russia's most famous novelist decided to start anew.(Je ne connaissais pas cette histoire) Tolstoy wasn't an easy housemate. After leading the life of a noble until midlife, he radically changed course, eschewing private property, smoking, sex and book royalties. But most disruptive of all, say some biographers, was his devout vegetarianism. The countess, a physician's daughter, thought the diet was tantamount to suicide. The two fought relentlessly over meals. Tolstoy accused his wife of spiking borscht with beef broth. Weary of their intractable differences, the elderly writer stole into the Russian cold. He would catch a chill on his way to the train and die in a station master's house 10 days later. "It's the classic example of a marriage breaking up over dietary differences," said Rynn Berry, author of several books on vegetarianism and historical adviser to the North American Vegetarian Society. "Sadly enough, it's still happening. That's no surprise, really. Food is the most intimate thing a couple shares aside from sex." Nearly 100 years after Tolstoy's death, herbivores and omnivores are slowly working out their differences. Vegetarians only make up between 2 and 4 per cent of Canadians, so many choose to date the bloodthirsty rather than narrow their dating range to fellow herbivores. The relationships are built on compromise or conversion. You might call it the Paul McCartney method. Earlier this month, the former Beatle and devout vegetarian was seen sharing an intimate fireside dinner with Renée Zellweger, a voracious meat-eater who famously employed the carcass-heavy Atkins diet after bulking up for roles in the two Bridget Jones films. He took the same tack with his second wife, Heather Mills. A meat-eater when the couple met, Ms. Mills has remained a strong advocate of vegetarianism in divorce. "I definitely prefer vegetarian women," said Nathaniel Brown of Vancouver. "But there are so few vegetarians out there that you'd be working with a really limited supply." Mr. Brown, founder of Vanveg.com, has dated meat-loving ladies in the past, but always with an eye out for a possible convert. "I'll educate them about vegetarianism, but I won't force it down their throat," he said. "I'll be pretty passive about it." Other vegetarians won't even start up a relationship with an omnivore unless they see a potential herbivore. "Otherwise, it's just hopeless," Mr. Berry said. "When you eat dead animals, you're entombing it in your own flesh. For someone who's viscerally opposed to eating meat, that's not exactly conducive to lovemaking." Many couples make it work with a few minor adaptations. Keitha Robert met her future husband, meat-loving Sean Monkman, the day she stopped eating animals. "Sean has this me-or-meat theory because of it," she said. "He's convinced that if I took up meat again I wouldn't need him." The first time Mr. Monkman prepared a meal for Ms. Robert, he cooked salmon, figuring that most vegetarians ate fish. "I didn't," she said. "But I ate it anyway. I realized then if we continued this we would have to compromise." A decade later, their Montreal kitchen is a model of dietary compromise. The vegetarian main course is prepared in one pot; the meat in another. When they sit down to eat, Mr. Monkman combines the two on his plate. "We meet half way," he said. "I'm still not sure that a block of grilled tofu makes for a good meal." "Your friends and families need to make adjustments," said Paul Amato, a Pennsylvania State University sociologist and co-author of The New Vegetarians: Promoting Health and Protecting Life, a study of American vegetarians. Dr. Amato collected data from more than 300 vegetarians and found that marriages between meat-eaters and herbivores were typically more stressful. Couples cited difficulties with segregating their meals and banishing an underlying moral tension that can infuse the relationship. "It's like an evangelical Christian dating an atheist," Dr. Amato said. "Maybe a fling is possible, but long term, someone will have to change." Sometimes, even a fling is too much to ask. For vegetarians who've embraced their diets for moral reasons, day-to-day interaction with a carnivorous partner can be outright revolting. Since becoming a vegan in 1983, Mr. Berry has found it increasingly difficult to date meat-eaters. "A carnivore's food preparation is a ghastly sight," he said. "With all the blood on the cutting board, it's a visually repugnant scene. And if you're kissing, you're exchanging remnants of their last meal. There's a repulsion there I have difficulty getting over." But, Mr. Berry notes, his dating life is looking up. A number of recent studies have shown that livestock accounts for nearly 20 per cent of all greenhouse gases - a statistic that's attracting hordes of new vegetarian converts. "And for some reason, the women coming into the movement far outnumber the men," he said. "These are good times for vegetarian men." Eating happily ever after Relationships between meat-eaters and vegetarians needn't be rife with culinary squabbles. This clash of gastronomic philosophies can work if meat-eaters follow a few cautionary tips: Keep your meat discreet Some vegetarians can find the sight of raw flesh "visually repugnant," author Rynn Berry says. Remember, where you see mouth-watering meatiness, a vegetarian may see senseless murder - hardly an aphrodisiacal notion. Eat the tofu It can have the consistency of a jellyfish and taste like cardboard, but many vegetarians rely on it for protein. By showing a willingness to try new things, you can kick the senseless-killer vibe. Wash your mouth out The scent of meat can linger for hours after a meal. If you kiss a particularly sensitive vegetarian, "it's repulsive," Mr. Berry says. "You're exchanging the remnants of your last meal." Leave no meat behind When you're sharing house with a vegetarian, it can also be tempting to share dishes. But leaving the golden traces of singed animal corpse on pots and pans can be a relationship killer. Cook together "It's helpful to explore recipes that are new to both of you," meat-eater Sean Monkman says. "That way one person isn't imposing a cuisine on the other."

Avian flu found on Sask. poultry farm Canadian Food Inspection Agency workers get ready to enter Pedigree Poultry, a commercial poultry farm, approx. 50 km northwest of Regina which has a case of H7N3 avian influenza on Sept. 27, 2007. (CP / Troy Fleece) A worker searches Pedigree Poultry as birds fly away approximately 50 km northwest of Regina on Sept. 27, 2007 (CP / Troy Fleece) Dr. Sandra Stephens says the flu is the H7N3 strain, the same one behind a large outbreak in British Columbia two years ago. Unlike B.C. farmers, prairie producers usually have significantly more space between them and their neighbours, making cross contamination less likely, said Karen Armstrong of the Manitoba Chicken Producers. CTV.ca News Staff Updated: Thu. Sep. 27 2007 9:29 PM ET The fallout surrounding a Saskatchewan chicken farm with confirmed cases of avian flu should not be as devastating as a B.C. outbreak two years ago that caused the destruction of 17 million chickens, according to health officials. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said Thursday that the infected farm's relative isolation should allow for an effective quarantine. "Certainly in B.C. there's a very concentrated area with large numbers of birds. In Saskatchewan, we have a smaller industry and it's spread over a larger geographic area, so we don't have the same density of poultry," Dr. Sandra Stephens, veterinary program specialist with the CFIA, told CTV Newsnet. The recent Saskatchewan quarantine and the British Columbia outbreak were caused by the highly pathogenic H7N3 flu strain. H7N3 is highly contagious in poultry, but is not seen as a risk to humans. In the outbreak two years ago, two poultry workers became infected and suffered briefly from flu-like symptoms. It is not the same as the strain circulating in Asia, Africa and Europe -- H5N1 -- which has been associated with human deaths. "This is an H7 subtype so it's not closely related at all to that H5 subtype," Stephens said. But Stephens added: "we do recognize that there is potential with avian influenza viruses to have some capacity to produce illness in people. Normally those conditions would be very mild." The chicken farm is about 40 kilometres north of Regina and has been quarantined since Sunday. The birds on the farm were not destined for immediate slaughter and were not producing eggs for human consumption. Stephens says the CFIA is taking decisive disease control measures on the Saskatchewan farm. All birds on the infected farm will be destroyed. The CFIA will then oversee the cleaning and disinfection of the barns, vehicles, equipment and tools, to eliminate any infectious material that may remain. Normally, birds on any commercial operations within one kilometre of an infected farm would also be destroyed, but it appears that there are no other bird farms in the immediate area. Any poultry operations within 10 kilometres of the infected farm will be closely monitored for signs of illness. "Certainly we will continue to do surveillance on poultry in close proximity, or any contacts that are considered to be at risk for at least the next three weeks," Stephens said. Gerry Ritz, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, said the agency has a great deal of expertise and experience in handling situations like this. "I have every confidence in their ability to take the necessary measures to appropriately resolve this situation as expeditiously as possible," said Ritz. But while officials insist the food supply is safe, the U.S. has closed its border to Saskatchewan poultry for now. While it considers chicken from other provinces still safe, that could change if more farms are quarantined. The source of the infection is not known and the CFIA says it may be difficult to confirm the source. They say the possibility that wild waterfowl, which are natural hosts for avian flu, may have brought the infection "cannot be discounted." The agency also commended "the responsible actions of the owner, who reported signs of illness at the earliest possible moment." Chicken farmers are forced to follow strict biosecurity guidelines. The birds aren't allowed to go outside and equipment brought inside is disinfected. Officials will spend the next days disinfecting the property, and the next weeks determining the cause. Unlike B.C. farmers, prairie producers usually have significantly more space between them and their neighbours, making cross contamination less likely, said Karen Armstrong of the Manitoba Chicken Producers.

Second Farm under quarantine over avian flu concern in Canada 09:47, September 30, 2007 Second farm under quarantine over avian flu concern in Canada Another chicken farm has been put under quarantine over fears of avian flu in Canada's central Saskatchewan province, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced Saturday. But the agency said the move is only a precautionary measure, and there has been no signs of disease at the small farm, located less than 3 kilometers away from Pedigree Poultry, which officials confirmed to be infected with H7N3 strain of avian influenza Thursday. The CFIA said the quarantine measures are standard given the close proximity of the two farms. It said it had tested 20 chickens of the second farm and found no signs of disease. Pedigree Poultry is located 40 kilometers north of provincial capital Regina. More than 50,000 chickens there will be killed in a few days and all equipment sanitized. An outbreak of H7N3 strain of avian flu in 2004 forced the killing of 17 million farm birds in British Columbia, costing the poultry industry dearly. Source: Xinhua

Le dimanche 30 septembre 2007 Les «usines à chiots» dénoncées Portneuf Une soixantaine de personnes s’étaient donné rendez-vous, hier, derrière l’église de Saint-Raymond, afin de dénoncer la situation de certains éleveurs de chiens qu’elles accusent notamment de négligence envers les animaux. ... Saint-Raymond dénombre actuellement neuf élevages de chiens sur son territoire dont deux comptent plusieurs dizaines de bêtes. « Que l’on soit favorable ou non, il faut comprendre que l’activité est légale en zone agricole au même titre que l’élevage de chevaux ou de bovins de boucherie », termine le maire. À l’initiative de l’une des organisatrices de la manifestation, le rendez-vous a servi de tribune pour l’annonce de la mise sur pied du Club des marcheurs contre les « usines à chiots », club qui vise à rassembler des militants dans plusieurs villes du Québec pour sensibiliser la population à la cause. http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070930/CPSOLEIL/70929080/-1/CPSOLEIL

C'est trop drôle Linda !!!!!!!!!!! Quels artistes ! et ton petit chien qui regarde ça !

On voit seulement un coeur avec les mots «Love Earth» et Coming soon

Même chose ici

Merci Caro

C'est ce qu'on souhaite tous pour nos petits amis Linda: qu'ils ne souffrent pas ! Je crois qu'il n'y a pas un vétérinaire qui travaille de la même façon. Lorsque j'ai dû faire piquer ma vieille minouche de 16 ans (elle avait un cancer de la thyroïde), je sais qu'elle a souffert lorsqu'on lui a injecté ce poison dans une de ses pauvres petites pattes car elle a crié très très fort et beaucoup de sang a giclé. Et la même chose est arrivée avec un autre de mes vieux chats (qui a perdu un oeil du jour au lendemain, poussé par une énorme tumeur à l'arrière de cet oeil). Je suis restée avec eux jusqu'à la fin et j'ai pu constater qu'ils avaient souffert, et même si ça n'était que d'une durée de quelques secondes ou minutes, c'était quand même quelques secondes ou minutes de trop !

En 2006, elle avait été interviewée pour la revue Protégez-vous de même qu'Aequo Animo ... http://aequoanimo.com/nosactions2006.html

Étonnant et très déçevant ce commentaire de la fondatrice de One Voice ! p.s.; Quelqu'un sait si elle est VG ?

Mais quel imbécile ! Il y a certainement une raison pour laquelle ses brebis avortent: c'est pas normal. Il leur donnent peut-être des produits «illégaux» (hormones, stéroïdes, etc. ?) Tiens-nous au courant pour ces pauvres minets hop- Bon courage !

je crois qu'il faudrait demander quand on va chez un vétérinaire, quels produits sont utilisés lors d'une euthanasie... On donne d'abord une piqûre à l'animal (soit-disant pour le tranquilliser), avant de lui faire une injection léthale quelques minutes plus tard. Il faudrait savoir qu'est-ce qu'il y a dans cette première piqûre (tranquillisante)...
