Puppy Mills Shows Angers Today Against Maneka Gandhi PFA

31-08-2008 15:57

Regarding the demonstration against PFA by some influential traders and breeders of pets and pet shop owners who sell exotic animals like North American snakes etc
& they have no animal breeding rules to govern the breeding of animals for sale. (Only lately some meetings are being held to frame dog breeding rules. Thats in process now, no final rules have been devised.), While animal breeders are required to be licensed, there are no checks and there is no authority that is responsible for seeing the condition of the animals being bred,where they are kept, how often the animals are being bred and what happens to the animals when they are past breeding age said Ms. Sanya Ghosh here in Delhi. There is a lacuna in the law that allows pet shop proprietors to import species of wildlife , like exotic North America snakes, and sell them in India. Once in the country, they are not protected by the Wildlife Act or any Act for that matter except the Section 11 of the PCA Act, 1960 & It is unethical to breed and traffic in animals for the purpose of commerce, Such pet shop owners , who have enjoyed full freedom to conduct their trading in animals, enjoy the patronage of influential persons like the CM and her son. Instead she, the CM should have framed rules to govern the business of trading in animals Mandheer Maan of PFA Haryana said, he further told that thus it is ironic and foolish on the part of the pet shop owners to now present themselves as 'animal lovers' who try to promote 'compassion for animals' by selling pets.

Caesar’s Vicar's Irish Govenor Have A Good Laught At The Irish And The Poles

31-08-2008 14:58

CAESAR’S VICAR’S IRISH GOVERNOR, CARDINAL SEAN BRADY, THE IRISH MIND, THE POLISH MIND AND THE BIG PICTURE


Why did the Irish reject Lisbon?

There is the small answer, the big answer and the in-between answer to this question

The small answer: The irish rejected Lisbon because the Rocco Buttigleoni, the Popes’ friend, was not given the job of EU Commissioner for Justice.

The Big Answer: The Irish rejected Lisbon because the Pope wants Europe to know that he really is Caesar’s Messiah’s Vicar on earth (I think he has given up his rank in the next world!) and that secular society, especially its Russian and Chinese form, being recalcitrant to his advices, are getting on Caesar’s nerves.

The In-between Answer: The Irish rejection of Lisbon was orchestrated to operate in tandem with the Poles unilaterally installing missiles aimed at Russia’s neck (justified by the planned agitation in Georgia) and Tibet’s Buddhist-Inspired provocation of China.

To understand how these answers fit into a single time-span that operates as a constant force in the world, one must be both a Catholic and a Pope. But laymen can get a glimpse of the Pope’s shenanigans by recalling some well-worn Papal methods of engagement. These, also, have a long-term as well as a short-term perspective.
