Calls for Action — Tierschutz

Calls for Action Join Us in Our calls to the South Korean Government to Ban the Dog Meat Industry South Korea is the only country in the world known to intensively breed dogs for human consumption. Thousands of dog meat farms across the country breed an estimated 2.5 million dogs each year who are confined in small, barren cages outdoors. They live in states of perpetual fear, boredom, hunger and disease, often resulting in self-mutilation. For those who survive, their fate is a brutal death at one of the nation’s markets or slaughterhouses.

Most people in South Korea don’t regularly eat dog meat and public opinion is turning against the practice. AfA Coalition member Humane Society International (HSI) is committed to ending the dog meat industry in South Korea, by exposing the cruelty, raising vital public and political awareness, and increasing support for a phase out.

Make Your Voice Heard for Elephants Exploited for Entertainment You can help convince travel companies and tour operators to stop promoting attractions that profit from cruelty to elephants by taking AfA Coalition member World Animal Protection’s pledge to not visit attractions that use wild animals for entertainment.

The facts are simple: elephants are wild animals with instincts for the wild. Human contact does not come naturally to them – they must be tortured in order to accept it. Remember: if you can ride it, touch it or see it perform tricks, that elephant has suffered unbearable cruelty at some point.

New Report Details the Extent of Abuse Suffered by Elephants in Tourism Industry A new report by AfA Coalition member World Animal Protection documenting the conditions of nearly 3,000 elephants used in tourism venues across Asia was recently released, detailing the extent of the cruelty behind the elephant tourism industry. “When not giving rides or performing, the elephants were typically chained day and night, most of the time, chains were less than three meters long. They were also fed poor diets, given limited veterinary care and frequently kept on concrete floors in stressful locations near loud music, roads or visitor groups.” Not only does the tourism industry result in the unimaginable suffering of thousands of elephants throughout Asia, it also poses a grave risk to public safety: “According to World Animal Protection, between 2010 and 2016 in Thailand alone, 17 fatalities and 21 serious injuries to people by captive elephants were reported in the media. And unreported incidences involving local elephant keepers are likely to make this figure much higher.”

U of Florida Supports Tormenting Puppies

When you picture a college, you probably think about education and success, but there’s nothing educational about Texas A&M University’s (TAMU) experiments on 3-month-old golden retriever puppies.

For the last 35 years, TAMU’s Joe Kornegay has purposely bred dogs to have a severe, painful form of canine muscular dystrophy (MD), a crippling disease that makes it very difficult for them to walk, breathe, and swallow the liquid slop that they’re fed.

The university has denied that the dogs suffer, but that’s fine—we have it on video:

Not only is there STILL no cure for MD after 35 years of this sickening abuse, they also haven’t even been able to produce a treatment to reverse the symptoms.

All these experiments do is hurt dogs, waste millions of research dollars, and give desperate human patients false hope.

We’re calling on UF to say FU to TAMU and cut ties with the cruel and wasteful hellhole.

Tell UF to stop contracting with TAMU’s MD dog laboratory!
