During an interview when the president of America Mr. Obama killed the fly with CNBC yesterday, the animal right group PETA said they wish Obama had served a better example.
Bruce friedrich, VP for policy at PETA said that we even support for the life of small insects. He says that brushing the flies away is better than killing them. So they sent a katcha bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back in to nature to the white house.
PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.
Friedrich admits that despite his fly-swatting ways, the President has been a champion for animal rights in the past. PETA claims to be pleased by Obama’s denouncement of factory farming, Canadian seal hunting andMichelle Obama’s stance against wearing fur.
People for ethical treatment of animals (PETA) activists protested against Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in New Delhi for cruelty towards chicken and birds.
They showed a live demonstration of cruelty towards them. The protestors dressed themselves as Chickens and carried posters which read “boycott KFC”. PETA wants KFC to adopt animal friendly policy.
The PETA India activist Arkudh Prabhu said that “people want only the breast of the chicken that’s why they inject different kinds of hormones to make the breast heavy. But for this purpose there thin legs are crippled and broken and are ill-treated.”
PETA India has been defending animal rights since 2000 and whenever they tried to tell KFC to adopt animal friendly policy, they simply ignore it. Well hope that this demonstration act as in added advantage to make KFC understand better.
The rescue operation by PETA has recovered 11 injured dogs and 22day-old puppies that were kept at the SPCA, Pune in unhygienic conditions. This operation was held against the Pune chapter of society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCA).
The chief functionary of PETA Mrs. Anuradha Sawhney says that “the stray dogs that brought to this place fro across the city are kept in very unhygienic conditions. An even basic need such as healthy food and clean drinking water was not served properly, in short the dogs and puppies are not given proper care that they required.”
N G Jayasimha of PETA claimed that This SPCA was established on January 23, 1923 to raise awareness of the abuse of animals. SPCA has been providing facilities such as OPD, surgery, treatment and shelter to animals from across the city. The primary motive of the SPCA was to treat and provide shelter to the stray dogs. But the fact discovered by PETA is that SPCA is now busy in treating private pets rather than abiding their basic duty for the simple reason that treatment of such dogs gives them more money.
