If you are opposed to BSL, siezure and destruction of pets including, but certainly not limited to Akita’s, GSD’s, Ridgebacks and Staffordshire Bull Terriers -

Please email these 3 addresses:
cllr_kevin.humphreys@dublincity.ie
minister@environ.ie
johngormley@eircom.net

and voice your disgust on the situation of siezure and destruction of pets in Dublin Council estates, and ridiculous restrictions of 11 breeds of dog throughout the country.
Americans, Britains, whatever you are, please oppose this!

Also you can include something about the TERRIBLE state of animal welfare here. The small County of Wexford kills more dogs each year than the city of London, Scotland and Wales combined! Yes, a small place kills more dogs than a city and 2 whole countries combined!
The number of cats killed is unrecordable.

If You oppose, please email them. And to make this a question - what do you think of this?

Are you opposed?

Thanks.
Will we end up muzzling everything like the oppressed slave in this photo? -

meglin ! asked:


I love animals. Since I was little, I’ve made the decision to dedicate my life to them and improving their lives. Since volunteering at a local animal shelter, I’m completely disgusted by the things some people do to their animals. And because I live by the philosophy of ‘If you don’t like something, change it’: I have started asking myself: How can I change this madness?

One idea was working as an animal rights or an animal welfare lawyer. I know they exist. There are about 20 different fields they cover from bite victims, cruelty, animal custody issues, and so much more. I feel that I’d be able to be the voice for the animals and give them what they deserve.

My question is: Realistically, how good of a dream is this? What is it like being a lawyer? Is it boring? Will animal welfare lawyers make as much as regular lawyers?

I want to do something I enjoy while making a difference in the world. And, of course, I want to be successful woman and make a good living.

How can I prepare for this career while still in high school? What are some other careers if this one doesn’t seem good? What are your opinions? What can you tell me about the career?

If it makes a difference… I’m a 15 year old sophomore in Arizona, have a 4.1 GPA, volunteer at the United State’s 2nd largest animal shelter every Saturday as an adoptions counselor, and have been interested in law for a while. I just always consider it to be boring and I never thought that the fields would interest me… until I found that animal welfare law existed.

Thank you.

Carousel asked:


think it’s okay to eat eggs. The poultry industry is the worst for animal cruelty. I’m not a vegetarian, but I do know about farming methods. A laying chicken, yes a very young bird spends most of it’s life in a cage it can’t turn round in. Before they reach adulthood they are worn out, yet people come on here telling us they don’t want to eat meat because of animal cruelty, but dairy produce & eggs are okay.
Many people have beliefs about what is right and what is wrong and I will never say to them they are wrong, even though my opinion differs from theirs, but if you are really concerned about animal welfare then do some research into the subject
The Dairy fairy;
I studied agriculture and animal husbandry after leaving school. I am very aware of the difference between animal welfare and animal rights. I think my career in agriculture qualifies me to ask this question. Many others I know in the industry are concerned about battery farming.
Rohak;
I don’t agree with you. Any farmer in business to make a living treats his stock to make the most profit unless it is a hobby.
Jessie;
You are totally wrong about the dairy industry. You have read too much disinformation. There are some pedigree herds around the country. Go look for yourself.

Reika GSD asked:


What is the difference between “animal rights” and “animal welfare”?

I most certainly know the disparity….but do you? Do you believe it’s of any importance to know the difference between the two phrases?

amvexed asked:


I am really keen to go into animal welfare work, but most positions require a qualification in zoology/biology/animal science (I have a degree in Environmental Engineering). My hope is to further my studies in applied animal behaviour and welfare, but even this requires relevant educational background or work experience (work not easily obtained with no relevant qualifications). I am caught in a catch 22 situation. I cannot say that I havent been warned, but I insist on giving it a go nonetheless as this is what I’m passionate about. I live in Malaysia where there is an abundance of wildlife conservation activities, and yet ironically not so many career opportunities in animal welfare. I have a cushy job that I’m willing to give up in a heartbeat for such an opportunity. Help! Any ideas?

Jaberwakie asked:


how far do your thoughts go when it comes to animals?

1.) (PETA) Animal Rights -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/animal…
is the idea that the basic interests of non-human animals — for example, the interest in avoiding suffering — should be afforded the same consideration as the basic interests of human beings. Animal rights advocates argue that animals should no longer be regarded as property, or treated as resources for human purposes.

2.) Somewhere in the middle - Your opinion would be great.

3.) (ASPCA) Animal Welfare - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/animal…
Animal welfare groups argue for greater protection for non-human animals, particularly those used by human beings in laboratories or in entertainment, as well as domestic animals such as those used for food, labour, or as companions (pets). Do not argue that animals should never be used, or kept as property, by human beings.

4.) None.

Thanks.
