*****************************
Lebanon oil spill crisis
28 July 2006 7:24 PM GMT
The Lebanese government has appealed for help to clean up a huge oil
spill along its coastline created after Israel bombed a power plant.

The environment ministry says up to 30,000 tonnes of oil flooded into
the sea after Israeli jets attacked storage tanks at the Jiyyeh power
plant south of Beirut on July 13 and 15.

The spill has affected more than 100 kilometres of the Lebanese coast.

Yacoub al-Sarraf, the Lebanese environment minister, said: "We have
never seen a spill like this in the history of Lebanon. It is a major
catastrophe.

"The equipment we have is for minor spills. We use it once in a blue
moon to clean a small spill of 50 tonnes or so. To clean this whole
thing up we would need an armada."

The EU commission said the Lebanese authorities had asked for "urgent"
assistance to clean up the oil.

Stavros Dimas, the EU environment commissioner, said: "Wars do cause
enormous human suffering as we are witnessing now in Lebanon. But
another aspect is also the significant environmental destruction caused
by it.

"[The spill] could affect the livelihood and health of the Lebanese and
people in neighbouring countries as well as the status of the marine
environment in the region."

The government has also asked the UN environmental protection agency to
assist in the clean-up operation.

Al-Sarraf said the cost of removing the oil could reach $40-50million.

Equipment

An Israeli warship damaged by a Hezbollah missile on July 15 may also
have spilled oil into the sea, according to the environment ministry.

One of the main problems is that an Israeli air and sea blockade of
Lebanon, in place since the war began on July 12, is hampering both the
clean-up and the delivery of equipment.

Sarraf said: "To really clean it up we need access to the sea, which we
don't have.

"We need more equipment and mobilisation but for that we need the
hostilities to end."

Local environmentalists say the marine ecosystem could take years to
recover.

BEIRUT: Who hasn't been complaining of the awful smells that have been
engulfing the capital for the past few days? Repugnant smells coming
from the direction of Beirut Port have been emanating from a large ship
carrying cattle and which was set to leave the capital's seaport on
Wednesday night, an official source at Beirut's municipality said.
The accumulated manure of the cows since their arrival to Lebanon has
produced the odors, he said. These smells were accentuated because of
the wind's direction from North to East, he added.
The ship, called Kounouz (which means Treasures in Arabic), which
transported around 7,000 "wild cows" coming from Brazil reached Beirut
on Tuesday, according to an official source at Beirut's harbor. Since
then, Beirutis have been complaining about the nauseous smells in their
city.
The article goes on to mention "Following the enlargement of Beirut's
harbor last year, the ship had been transporting large amounts of
cattle to Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan via Beirut's seaport almost every
month."
Am I the only one who sees what an immense opportunity that has wafted
it's way to us? We no longer need the U.N. or Berri's 'Dialogue' to
solve our problems. It goes like this:
We transport our bovine friends to the border area of the Shebaa farms.

Immediately, upon smelling the biological warfare that we have thrown
unto them, the Israelis immediately retreat to their side of the
border. They can't attack us because after all, cows are natural.

Hezbollah, all of a sudden no longer has an excuse to keep it's arms,
as now Shebaa is 'liberated' and can be farmed once again. Luckily we
have a few hundred cows to fertilize the soil.

Nasrallah, with nothing else to do now, flees to Ramallah to set up the
opposition to the new Hamas government.
Perhaps we can also transport a few cows to Baabda. Just a thought.

 http://www.peta.net/feat/military is PETA's site on some of the experiments done on animals.

Re the article it is this poster's opinion that it is Israel and not AlQaeda which has been involved
in military vivisection.. and that the attempt to blame AlQaeda was a false flag operation.

Israel has a higher percentage of vegetarians and vegans than the Arab world, with the
exception of the Lebanese Druse who eat no animals.

Companion animals are not regarded as unclean in Israel as they are in some Arab countries.

Lebanese vegetarians include former US Senator James Abourezk of South Dakota
and Casey Kasem, cosponsor of Meatout.  http://www.meatout.org

Animals in Israel

30.07.2006 15:13

Starving and dehydrated cats and dogs, some injured, many lost, are running in panic from the explosions of rockets. Some residents left their cats and dogs behind when they evacuated, believing they would return soon. In other cases, animals fled the sound of missiles, became disoriented, and lost their way. Without food and water, they are desperate for help.

(Purina has contributed to the relief effort. Purina continues though to
put animal cadavers in its pet food and to own or profit from slaughterhouse bound
ranches
and vivisection laboratories)

Update on Impact of Current Wars on Animals

09.08.2006 14:28

ANY WAR IS A WAR ON ANIMALS

19 ways current wars are harming animals

War is war on animals too.
1 People animals birds are killed by bombs and rockets.
2 People animals birds are blown apart by mines of war profiteers .
3 Animals die on live transport ships in wartorn ports after standing in their own waste, dying of hunger and thirst
4 Whales, dolphins, fishes, turtles, sea birds are killed in oil spills from bombing power plants. 30,000 tons of oil have been dumped into the Mediterranean by the Israeli
bombing of a Lebanese power plant, the largest environmental disaster in the Mideast in decades
5 Animals die in military weapons research labs.
6 Animals die in military contract 'vaccine' research.
7 Animals are bulldozed (killed or backs broken) in zoos in wartorn areas.*
8
Animals are made minesniffers.. porpoises are electroshocked into being submarine bomb carriers.
9 Animals are seized, slaughtered and eaten by armies.
10 Animals disoriented by bombs run away from their homes.
11 Animals are abandoned by refugees.
12 Animals are not allowed in to all refugee camps. The US Red Cross
after a worldwide outcry re its gunbacked separation of people
from animals has begun to change its rules on this.
13 Animal habitat (trees, orchards, vines, plants, watersheds) are destroyed by daisy cutter, bunker
buster and other bombs
14 Depleted uranium is giving animals as well as people
cancer, 81 times the average in Baghdad.
15 Animals as well as people have died as supply convoys
were foiled by bombed roads and bridges, and as
convoys have been fired upon.
16. Some abandoned animals are left tied up without war
and are dying of thirst.
17. Motorists racing to get out of bombing areas are
mowing down goats, cats, dogs, chickens, sheep on the roads.
18. US soldiers at Dugway Proving Ground and elsewhere
are told to hunt kill and eat rabbits and other creatures.
19. American soldiers drinking have shot
tigers and lions in the Baghdad Zoo.


In the war of the Israeli government against the Lebanese
people, a million animals have died in an oil spill
created by a power plant bombing. Cows have died of thirst
on boats unable to land liveshipped animals. Animals
have died as relief supplies can't get into the many crisis
areas. The Olmert regime has fired upon relief workers.

* The IDF killed many Gaza animals
bulldozing the cages while the animals
were in them.. gazelles had their
backs broken
