One of two greyhounds who suffered a horrific death and were found washed up on a shore with concrete bricks tied to their necks.The once-prized animals were found off a pier in West Cork with ropes and bricks tied to their necks to make them drown. Tom Mellif from Skibbereen was out walking one morning along the banks of the River Ilen when he saw the dogs.”I was horrified — I know the stretch of the river well and the dogs had been dumped overnight,” said Mr Mellif, a consultant construction engineer. Both dogs — aged one and two years old respectively — had been well cared for in life. Yet their owners had decided to cruelly end their lives as the animals became a liability. The dogs were among an estimated 4,000 greyhounds who are slaughtered or abandoned each year in Ireland.

Cruelty Behind The Mask Of Jakarta’s Monkey Circuses HERE IS THE STORY Their torment starts deep in the forests of Sumatra where the macaques, an endangered species of monkey, live. Teams of poachers use ­sickening methods to trap them. The most popular one is to shoot the mother and then prise the clinging baby off her. Baby macaques are preferred as they have a longer life as ­performers. The ­poachers are paid £2 for each monkey by dealers, who sell them on to street “entertainers” in Jakarta for £5 each. It’s here the torture really begins. The monkeys are hung upside down so they learn how to walk ­upright. Chains are then clamped around their necks and they have to stand up straight or be punished. The monkeys are starved and only fed when they obey to make sure they learn quickly. The highly-social primates are forced to live inside cramped wooden crates and can’t interact with each other, leading them to become deeply ­disturbed. After being “trained” they are taken to tourist spots to “work”. FYI : “Usually 40 percent of monkeys end up dead. If they’re not physically strong enough, they die during the basic training, though some die later in the toy training phase.”

SNARES SHOULD BE CHECKED EVERY 24HRS? BIT LONGER HERE DONT YOU THINK?

“The shooters and beaters were inside [the barn], laughing, joking and stuffing their faces at a long table. When vocal condemnation was heard, these poor creatures were hurriedly slung into the back of a Land Rover and quickly driven away. Their ears and feet were seen by onlookers poking skyward.”

foxes strung up by a gamekeeper to protect his stocks of game birds, in order that they can be shot by paying guns. They say it’s “sport”. We think it’s indefensible cruelty.

FOIE GRAS THE SAD FACTS

producers portray force-feeding as a natural extension of the pre-migration gorging many waterfowl engage in to build up energy stores for long flights. However, no bird would ever voluntarily ingest so much food that he could not even walk or stand — much less fly. Further, the Moulard duck used in foie gras production is a cross between the Muscovy and Pekin breeds — neither of which even migrate. One former employee of a large North American foie gras facility explained, “The best way to maximize profits is to get the biggest — and hence, the most diseased — liver. As my supervisor stated, ‘the point of gavage is to make a duck as sick as possible, to bring them to the brink of death.’”
