APPEAL TO THE UNITED NATIONS FOR AN ANIMAL RIGHTS
BILL
To: THE
WORLD
ASIAN DOGS AND CATS AND OUR DOMESTIC ANIMALS GO THROUGH MANY DEATHS
WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THEM TO BE SLAUGHTERED. THEY DIE A LITTLE
BIT AT A TIME.
THEIR FEAR IS REAL AND IT IS TIME THIS BARBARIC ACT AND METHOD OF
KILLING IS STOPPED . . .
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION, WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE UNITED
NATIONS WITH AN ACCOMPANYING LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD
OLYMPIC COMMITTEE.
APPEAL TO THE UNITED NATIONS
Gentlemen:
It is a well-known fact that Asian countries such as China,
Taiwan, South Korea, etc., are torturing and, in fact, murdering
helpless dogs and cats, simply to satisfy the palate of the male
Asian.
The Canadian Voice for Animals calls upon you to use your power to
put a stop to this barbaric act. There are hundred of thousands of
world citizens who are appalled and dismayed at the lack of
coverage the press has given this terrible atrocity now that the
2008 Summer Olympic Games have been awarded to China.
We call upon all members of the United Nations to DAMN the Asian
countries that have no regard for the welfare of animals.
We also call upon the members of the United Nations to draw up
more humane methods when killing domestic animals. The general
public is not aware that, cows, hogs, horses, lambs, sheep,
chickens, and all other animals slated for the plates of the
citizens of the world, are killed a little at a timeThese animals
suffer many deaths in the course of their slaughter.
Finally, we beg the leaders of the free world to band together and
draw up a WORLD ANIMAL RIGHTS BILL, and have the courage to
enforce it.
Respectfully yours,
Earl H. Earle Bingley
President

One step closer to a UN 'first' for animals
(Press Release Dec 13, 2006)
from a press release
Animal welfare will today (Thursday, December 14, 2006) move one
step closer to an unprecedented place on the United Nations agenda
when representatives from more than 130 developing countries
receive an official briefing on a global initiative supported by
the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).
The
initiative aims to establish a United Nations Universal Declaration
on Animal Welfare that would achieve global recognition of animals
as sentient beings, capable of experiencing pain and suffering, and
animal welfare as an important aspect of the social development of
nations worldwide. During the briefing, a presentation in support
of the Declaration will be made by Minister Noah
Wekesa, Minister of
Science & Technology for Kenya, as well as several WSPA
representatives.
Following the briefing, it is hoped that the G77 -- which is made
up of 132 member states and is the largest coalition of developing
countries in the United Nations -- will consider championing the
Declaration. This would significantly increase awareness and
support ahead of a ministerial conference planned for the end of
2007 in New York. If consensus is then achieved at that ministerial
conference it is hoped that the Declaration will then be put before
the United Nations General Assembly for adoption.
Noah Wekesa, Kenya's Minister of Science and Technology, said, "The
world is waking up from its deep slumber to the fact that animals
do matter. Animal welfare matters to people. It matters to our
survival. It matters to our happiness. It matters to the
environment. It matters to human health. But, most of all, animal
welfare matters to the animals."
Leah Garces, WSPA's Director of Programs, added, "The link between
the United Nations and animals is very clear. Over 1 billion people
depend on animals for their livelihood. We can no longer ignore our
reliance on animals and the importance of their well being. Better
care for animals can result directly in better lives for humans.
This is an unturned stone on the path to progress, sustainable
development and poverty reduction. It is time we turn that stone
over and bring animals into the UN spotlight."
The G77 -- the group of 77 -- was established in 1964 by 77
developing countries
signatories of the "Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven
Countries" issued at the end of the first session of the United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in
Geneva.
As the largest coalition of developing countries in the United
Nations, the G77 provides the means for the developing world to
articulate and promote its collective interests and enhance its
joint negotiating capacity on all major international economic
issues in the United Nations system, and promote economic and
technical cooperation among developing countries (ECDC/TCDC).
WSPA is promoting the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare, and
has gathered more than 350,000 signatures in support of the
Declaration from its supporters worldwide. For more about the
Declaration, visit: http://www. animalsmatterusa.org
The World Society for the Protection of Animals is the world's
largest federation of humane societies and animal protection
organizations, representing over 700 member societies in 144
countries. Through direct field work, campaigning, legislative
work, education and training programs, WSPA strives to create a
world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends. For
