Dear friends,
 
The killing of dogs, rabbits and turtles in Kerela has not stopped it seems.
Apart from ARK, Kerala, I have recieved other emails of dogs being brutally killed in Trivandrum and rest of Kerala.
This email is one of them (see fwded email in the end).
Anyone raising a voice there is facing litigation and harrassment from the police, and govt there.
A foreign lady had faced a lot of heat and misconduct from the authorities there when she had tried to save the dogs. the video showing the same is at

other proofs of dogs being killed around beginging of 2007 till late March are at the following links :

Please write to AWBI and seek explanantions as to why they are not taking stringent action against the government.
It is the duty of the Environment Ministry to intervene in such matters.
After much investigation into the court cases and orders, we have established that the government there lying through their teeth.
 There is no such clear order to kill dogs.
 
Please contact immediately in case anyone has any suggestion or plan of action to address this issue with utmost urgency.
In the meanwhile we are sending a written complaint to AWBI, Environment Ministry to take swift action.
But every one of us must write seperately, as every letter counts.
If possible and take out time to hand deliver it there.
Thats has an even greater impact.

Ministry of Environment's office is at
"Paryavaran Bhawan" in CGO complex,
Lodhi Road,
New Delhi.
 
The second issue is of Rabbit and turtle farming. In the past we had intimated you of illegal turtle and rabbit farming being promoted by government there.
Now they are back in action. please go through the article at the link below to see yesterday's news in The Hindu.
They are shamelessly killing innocent rabbits and trutles for meat and skin, and too against the law of the land.

This is clear proof of the brutality going on.

Dear Sir,

Action Against Poisoning fights animal poisoning and supports animal protection efforts, especially regarding abandoned and stray animals.
We are informed on an animal welfare program called "Suraksha", aiming at the protection of public health by reduction of a local stray dog population via spaying, neutering, vaccinating and release at the original spot.
This kind of non-killing policy program is exactly what we promote and support.
It is what we expect from a country with a cultural and religious inclination to respect for life.

Within such a frame of reference we understand the need for the mercy killing of suffering rabid dogs. However, allegedly the execution of this program turns out totally contrary to the advocated set-up.
As we understand, the targeted dogs are rounded up and killed at random.
We call this random killing as a careful approach of the concerned stray dogs can never result in an average 80% death score.
If this is the case, the dogs are better off without this kind of "animal welfare" and especially the offered help.

We would like to stress the fact that our own civilization turns our domestic animals into a stray animal problem. We ourselves are the producers of this "live waste".
In our view the abandoned and stray animals deserve our special attention. It is saddening that we accept our responsibility for our garbage, but deny that responsibility for living creatures in need.
Especially if it concerns men's best friend: the dog.

We call on you to stop any action contrary to the welfare of the stray animals immediately and resume the intended animal welfare program focused at the survival and not the death of the concerned animals.

With kind regards,
