OIPA - International Organization for Animal Protection,
INTERNATIONAL NEWS LETTER,
December 2008 - OIPA INDIA



URGE EU TO STOP SUBSIDISING BULLFIGHTS
The EU is supporting the torturing to death of bulls in
the bullring and countless other animals in village 'blood
fiestas'. We find it absolutely disgusting that a
proportion of my tax goes to support animal abuse.

BAN HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGES IN NEW YORK CITY
Every year, the list of accidents involving horse-drawn
carriages grows longer. Horses are often forced to labor in
all weather extremes while walking on hard pavement,
dodging cars, and inhaling exhaust fumes. After decades of
controversy, it has become clear that additional rules and
monitoring make no difference in the lives of these at-risk
and dispirited animals. The only humane solution is a
permanent ban on horse-drawn carriages.

END WHALE BLOODBATH IN DANISH FAEROE ISLAND
Every year between 2,000 and 3,500 pilot whales are
corralled by men in boats and forced into bays in the
Faeroe Islands, a North Sea Danish Protectorate mid-way
between the Shetland Islands and Iceland.
Citizens worldwide are sickened by the annual vision of
whales marooned in blood-red waters. Islanders stone,
gouge, spear, hack and bludgeon some 2,000 to 3,500 long-
and short-finned pilot whales.

HELP BAN FUR FARMING IN NORWAY
The Norwegian fur industry is continuously trying to
present fur farming as unproblematic. During the summer of
2008 activists from Network for Animal Freedom traveled the
country to see how the farm animals are actually treated.
They inspected more than 100 randomly chosen fur farms in
every county where such farms exist, covering over 20
percent of the fur farms in Norway.

HELP ANIMALS IN EU LABS
Over 12 million animals are used in experiments in Europe
every year, and the numbers are continuing to rise. In
recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that the
Directive needs to be revised. The current Directive is
open to interpretation and does not mirror important
progress that has been made in science over the last two
decades. New techniques have become available, such as use
of transgenic animals, xeno-transplantation and cloning.
These require specific attention, which the current
Directive does not provide for nor is the use of animals
with a higher degree of neurophysiologic sensitivity, such
as in the case of non-human primates, specifically
regulated.

OIPA NAPLES
In Italy OIPA is operated throught its Italian branches,
from the North to the South.
OIPA Naples was founded on the belief that stray animals
are to be treated with the same love and respect as other
living beings.
Its illegal to abandon a pet in Italy. Our branch is very
involved in animal legislation relating public safety and
animal welfare. By reporting cases of suspected or known
animal cruelty they offer to the animals, protection and a
second chance. To reduce all forms of cruelty and encourage
a more compassionate society we ask each of you to be alert
to all forms of neglect and violence. Each of us has the
power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of
neglected and abused animals.
OIPA Naples is solely run by volunteers, and they are
always happy to welcome new people who want to help them
continue to help homeless animals.
