Trident Ploughshares Press Release20 November 2009 - For immediate release
Anti-nuclear activists held a banner which read "Disarm the Seas" on the Rhu Spit as the first nuclear-powered Astute Class submarine sailed through the Rhu narrows on the west coast of Scotland at 10:45am this morning (20 November, 2009). Rainbow peace flags and a colourful CND banner fluttered in a brisk wind to greet the crew of HMS Astute, who stood at attention on the deck of the brand new hunter-killer submarine as it sailed into Faslane Naval Base for the first time. The demonstration was organized by Helensburgh CND and Trident Ploughshares.

‘End bloody oil!’ Indigenous women bring the fight against Tar Sands to Manch

The Copenhagen Climate Change conference next month, once the great hope of environmentalists, had its teeth pulled this week after an accord between China and the United States to postpone an envisaged global treaty that would have set limits to gas and carbon dioxide emissions world-wide.With the main polluters out of the treaty project the conference is a lame duck.
Ironically the disheartening Sino-American accord was reached during President Barack Obama’s visit to Beijing and indicates the Chinese may have used their credit-power - the U.S. owns billions of dollars in trade to Beijing -to bend the U.S. administration to their will and in the process weaken a U.S, president who won his mandate on a pledge to tackle climate change and had proclaimed himself a leader in the battle to save the planet.

Death Park Slaughterer: “We euthanized 312 deer in 3 nights…”
15-11-2009 02:45
As with most forms of nonhuman animal exploitation and slaughter, it comes down to human monetary gain, “tradition,” comfort, pleasure or convenience—with an utter disregard for sentience and for the growing body of cognitive ethology studies showing that the individuals that people like you and hunters wantonly massacre lead relatively rich intellectual, emotional, and social lives. It takes a souless person, Tony, to reify or objectify thinking, feeling individuals to the extent that you can eradicate them like a flea infestation, murdering them, tearing apart families, and leaving fawns motherless before they’re self-sufficient.Hundreds protest against downland sell-off
