t could be that the coronavirus will do what animal rights activists have not been able to and the bullfighting industry has asked the government for financial assistance click here to add your name to the petition urging spain not to use public funds to subsidize bullfighting 8 australia s ban on animal testing for cosmetics comes into effect july perhaps you heard that on july 1 2020 australia s industrial chemicals act 2019 came into force the act restricts the use of new animal test data for cosmetics safety testing from this date any new industrial chemicals solely used in cosmetics cannot use new animal test data to prove safety whether the chemicals are being manufactured in or imported into australia while this sounds great in practice the country falls short on a total animal testing ban for example in the case of multi use substances used in cosmetics as well as other products such as household cleaners paints and air freshener companies may still submit new animal test data under certain circumstances it also only applies to chemical ingredients used in cosmetic products not the products themselves and it permits products sold in china where tests on animals are mandated by law for imported and special use cosmetics to be sold in australia provided companies also demonstrate equivalent non animal test data where appropriate 9 colombia to become first south american country to ban animal testing for cosmetics august a stronger ban on animal testing may be the one passed in colombia this year and set to take effect in 2024 while that s a long time to wait and will mean the suffering of many more animals at least this one applies to ingredients and cosmetics products regardless if they were imported or manufactured in colombia 10 poland the world s third largest fur producer votes to ban fur farming september for years poland has had the dubious distinction of being one of the biggest killers of animals for fur an estimated 6 million minks ranking just after china and denmark campaigners in poland have long agitated for the closure of polish fur farms and they hope to secure a victory soon in september photos and video footage taken by an activist working undercover on a polish mink farm were released and revealed appalling suffering soon after a bill came up in the lower house of the polish parliament and supported by the country s ruling party that advanced animal protection legislation to ban breeding animals for fur as well as ritual slaughter for exports and the use of wild animals in circuses not everyone in the polish government supports the bill however and it s gotten quite a bit of pushback from the agricultural industry which fears it could somehow hurt the meat trade and from those who see fur farming as a cultural issue the bill next goes to the senate though sadly the draft legislation for the ban does not include rabbits in november polish president andrzej duda said he strongly opposes the ban 11 buddy the beefalo who escaped slaughter still on the lam november yes there were bigger news stories of the year stories in which more animals were affected but the saga of a lone beefalo a cross between a cow and a buffalo captured the public s imagination and had even meat eaters advocating for his freedom it began on august 3 when the beefalo later dubbed buddy escaped from a transport truck as he was being moved into a connecticut slaughterhouse eluding all attempts to catch him buddy roamed the forested hills of litchfield county and was big news by the end of the month plymouth police used various traps and drones but buddy outsmarted them in september the plymouth police union set up a fundraiser to buy buddy from the farmer who owned him and thus ensure the animal would not be sent to slaughter the police say that buddy will go to a sanctuary for farmed animals in florida if they ever catch him 12 uk dairy farms have a year to stop killing male calves december a

drawn carriages may 1 2020 in uncategorized tags animal activim chicago alliance for animals horse drawn carriage jodie wiederkehr partnership to ban horse carriages worldwide 2 comments beginning january 1 2021 the streets of chicago are going to look a little more animal friendly gone will be the horse drawn carriage operators who have been plying their cruel trade in the windy city for 150 years on april 24 the chicago city council voted to ban them chicago joins other cities in banning horse drawn carriages including las vegas and reno nevada salt lake city utah santa fe new mexico biloxi mississippi camden new jersey and several cities in florida despite years of protesting horse drawn carriages still operate in new york city instrumental in getting the ban passed was the chicago alliance for animals caa for more than three years this grassroots animal advocacy organization frequently documented horses being denied water and forced to pull carriages in heavy traffic through extreme heat thunderstorms and blizzards they lobbied lawmakers to support the ban and now that the ban has passed they are liaising with reputable sanctuaries to arrange homes for the horses if their owners choose to allow them the safe and peaceful retirement they deserve jodie wiederkehr caa s executive director and founder of the partnership to ban horse carriages worldwide took some time to answer my questions about her work and the group s remarkable campaign what inspired you to become an animal activist i ve cared deeply about animals since i was very young i remember at around the age of nine or 10 my father was yelling for me to come inside on christmas eve i was sitting outside in the snow next to the kennel of our neighbor s little terrier dog who had nothing but a barren dog house and frozen water i would bring him treats and fresh water while inside in our cozy finished basement with a roaring fire we ate a big dinner and a lot of cookies and candy and then opened presents all the while i thought about cinnamon all alone in the cold that love of animals stayed with me all through my childhood and through college when i started volunteering with my sister jamie to ban the steel jaw leghold trap in illinois from then on i ve been working toward a path to liberate animals from suffering there are so many ways people exploit animals what is it about the horse carriage industry that makes you want to see it banned i care greatly about all animal issues but whenever i see horses where every part of their being is controlled with straps and clasps and they ve got all this metal junk in their mouth and when they can t get flies off their legs i get so incredibly sad it s just pure exploitation and it s so unnecessary and this whole notion that they were bred to do this work or that because they ve been doing it since the dawn of time somehow makes it okay is a lousy excuse as we all know that tradition does not equal right can you walk us through the important steps you and caa took to help get this ban passed we used a variety of methods but the most important aspect of our work was to educate ourselves on chicago s laws regarding the horse carriage trade document the multiple violations on a regular basis and then send that documentation to the agency tasked with monitoring and enforcing the laws as well as to the aldermen and mayor we then submitted freedom of information act requests for the results of our documentation and sent press releases to the media we also took action every day with our daily action alerts daas for short where we contacted all the aldermen the mayor and tourist outlets in chicago and informed them of the constant animal welfare violations as well as those that impacted public safety we attended aldermen s ward nights testified at city council almost every month for nearly two years had monthly peaceful educational outreach down by the carriage stand where we held signs and a banner asked people to sign our petition urged everyone we spoke to to contact their alderman or if they lived outside of chicago to please contact the mayor we also asked any businesses legislators animal advocacy organizations celebrities etc to sign our endorsement pledge in the end we had more than 200 endorsement pledges representing millions of people who wanted a horse carriage ban in chicago in addition we fundraised last fall to deck out a pedicab urging people to say no to inhumane horse carriage rides what was the general reaction of the public when you were doing outreach when we first started our peaceful educational outreach in summer 2015 we would occasionally get some pushback and people claiming that horse carriages are not inhumane and that the horses are treated well but as the years went on and we continued to educate the public on how often the horses were overworked under watered and worked in extreme temperatures the arguments nearly ceased at times we had groups of 10 or more people standing around us waiting to sign our petition did you get any comments from horse carriage operators during your campaign we never spoke to or communicated with the carriage operators or passengers our goal was to document the violations and abject cruelty and educate the public not engage with those who have no empathy for and who profit off the voiceless you also worked on a successful campaign to ban greyhound racing in massachusetts which went into effect in 2010 do you see any similarities in these two campaigns yes definitely with both campaigns we exposed the animal exploiters constant flouting of the law and as the statewide volunteer coordinator on the greyhound campaign i was responsible for calling my volunteer coordinators each monday and asking them if they called their volunteers it was not easy as many didn t want to talk to me that made me realize if we really want a more humane world we must be willing to give a little of our time to this very important cause so now when i put out my daas i expect people to take action and i explain to my volunteers that complaining about animal abuse and sad emojis will not ban horse carriages or help animals in any way how can people support the chicago alliance for animals please join our facebook page and take one minute to do our daas fo...
