Peta has undertaken another mission. This time its bound to attract the attention of the animal lovers all over the world. Peta has always urged its activists to be loud and clear without fear. And now Peta has brought to light the inhumane killing of homeless animals in Ukraine.

 

 

The practice in Ukraine to kill the homeless animals can be stated nothing less than barbaric. The question arises “Would you do that if it were your pet?” This does not end here. The common practice is to poison the animals and to throw their bodies into crimation trucks or set them on fire when they are still very much alive ! Stats states that already 20,000 dogs have been killed similarly.

 

The authorities are trying to idy up their country for the European Football Championship. Peta is also seeking the participation from the European Football association. Many German football players have openly stated their support for Peta and are expressing their disgust against these cruel actions of the Ukranean Government.  If bringing down the animal population or the homeless animal population is the motive then this can be done using scientific methods.

  • Population control can be done . This though will not reflect results immediately in few years time massive reduction population is garenteed.  
  • Instead of buying animals from the pet store people can adopt the ones from the street and also provide them with cozy homes.

 

Simple means can ensure solution to this problem. We as activists should present these to the authorities and persuade them to adopt the most animal friendly way to sort this problem. Show your concern by filling out your response here.



Peta’s Love for animals is never ending. Peta activists have proved it once again at Vancouver’s bustling Burrard and Robson intersection. As a Valentine’s Day special note Peta activists drew attention to themselves by launching an in bed protest against Fur. Two nearly naked activists Diana Mendoza and David Shirk posed from the bed as they were flocked by more activists holding banners that flashed “Fur—Out! Love—In!”

 

Valentine’s day is special, spreading the message of love is important, Peta does it in its own unique style and that has time and again proved to grab people’s attention. But all this effort is to shun the use of animal skin such as fur and leather.



Peta is a huge network. The roots are strong and the branches are wide spread. Its branch in India Peta India celebrated the 12th anniversary last month.  Peta India was started in 2000 at Mumbai. It mainly focuses on the areas in India where the animals suffer lots.

 

Peta has made great progress in India and is also thankful to all the supporters and activists. The Bollywood celebs who have been a part of Peta campaign last year also wish Peta luck. Peta is trying to reach all parts of India to spread the awareness and educate people on animal rights. Peta also encorages the activists to rise their voices against animal cruelty and report any such inhumane acts.



The Khan girls Gauahar and Nigaar Khan stepped out in stripes to fight for the rights of the animals.

The ad was shot by famous photographer Gaurav C Bhat, and the authentic animal skin like outfits were designed and styled by Hazel Paul. Catch the Khan sisters’ PETA shoot at  7 PM on 28 January on UTV Bindass. The girls put on a great show as they were locked up in the cage to simulate the trapped animal and the girls growled to enhance the effect.

 

The girls in the campeign shared the heart breaking traumas undergone by the caged animals contrary to the freedom that they enjoy in their own natural habitat.

Just as we humans enjoy our environment the animals should be let free to and should no9t be caged in zooz to serve as an entertainment for us is what the behind the bars campeign is for.



Peta mails the  Rochester Mayor Thomas S. Richards a deal – ”  PETA will help the city save money by clearing all the sidewalks around City Hall after the city’s next snowstorm if the mayor grants permission to stencil its anti-chaining ad on the sidewalk“.

The imposing ad reads “Chained Dog? A Chilling Tail.” Peta aims to eradicate the practice of chaining dogs in the chilly outdoors starved, deprived and cold swept. This ad will remind the cold owners to  save a warm corner for thier pets during the bad winter in Rochester . 

 



Thailand’s pride is crowned by the largest land mammals. Elephants have always been an integral part of their culture.

 

 

The authorities noticed two dead elephants in restricted national park. They suspected the intrusion of the poachers. On further investigation the sickening truth was revealed. The people seemed to have developed a taste for the elephant meat.

 

 

The elephants are being slaughtered in large numbers to satisfy this meat demands. The poachers are selling the elephant trunks which are of good value, and the rest of the elephant is ending up on the plate right from elephant foot, the bones to the reproductive organs. The urge to satisfy their taste buds proved stronger than the will to respect their culture.

 

 

This new trend has accelerted the possible extinction of the elephants and has laid more pressure on these gentle giants to wage a losing battle against their lives.

Of all the animals pigs are very smart is what the scientists say. But can they match up to play with humans?

 

Here is how iPad App Pig Chase bridges this gap.  This game engages both humans and animals interactively in a game that gives emotional and moral boost for the humans and the pigs. The humans share a relation with the pigs and in turn become a source of entertainment for the pigs.

 

This was initially launched to give some sort of mental exercise for the pigs as study found that pigs that were frustrated often end up in quarreling with their neighbors , were often confused and unable to use their intelligence. This way of entertainment can use their smartness to be mentally active and can avoid conflicts.

 

A sneak peek into the Game

 

The whole idea here is to make the pigs a playmate to humans so that they will not end up in plates.



” The man’s Best Friend deserves t live better”. We have witnessed many a times the dogs being subject to inhuman treatment. Peta in its efforts to uplift the miserable lives of dogs have declared this January as the “Unchain a Dog ” month.

How can we contribute ?

Simple-

  •  Spread Awareness , make people know that dogs once trained need not be chained and chained dogs can be ferocious. 
  • Get actively involved in your commuity to help dog ownwers how to care better for their dogs.
  • Recommed dog owners to use a leash on dogs while taking them for a walk and set them free when back home.

These are all some ways that you can effortlessly spread the word and help.

But if you really want to get down and help:

  • you can get in touch with the local animal care center and help them take in the stray dogs from your locality.
  • If you spot anyone chaining beyond the chaining restrictions you can launch a complain with Peta.
  • You can engage with your local city council and help save the chained animals .
  • pass the word around to your friends and engage them in this noble activity as well.


 Peta Activists will once again reveal skin to grab the public eye not on to themselves but to the boards that will bear “Bare Skin—Don’t Wear Skin,”. Set to start on 20 th JAn 2012 noon from the southwest corner of Forbes Avenue and Market Square, Pittsburgh.

Two girls are to walk the Pittsburgh streets wearing nothing but flesh coloured attire to promote the public to cut down the use of fur.”By showing some of our own skin, we hope people will consider letting animals keep theirs,” says PETA beauty Tracy Patton.

This may seem a bit too much and a few of us may even feel that this is all unnecessary ,but that is exactly what Peta is looking for, any form of publicity that would quickly grab people’s attention. Fashion Idol Tim Gunn says in the video . All the trouble that animals go through to be nothing more than a fashion accessory. That is not their destiny and we humans cannot  decide their destiny.

Just foe information - How animals are electrocuted, poisoned, gassed or have heads their necks broken to shed skin. Not only that how they had to endure the inhuman torture and treatment they were subject to in the farms and in the slaughter houses. This really is a shock – People stuff snakes mouth with hose pipes and stuff them with water so that they are plump, their skin turns tight on them to make the job easier for men to remove their skin when the snakes are still alive.
