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 follow us on social media and if they are able to financially support us in any way even 1 a month will help that would be greatly appreciated we passed this ban in the third largest city in the u s without a horse collapsing in the street or a serious or deadly accident in less than three years without any paid staff what advice do you give to activists who want to help ban the exploitation of horses i would urge them to join the partnership to ban horse carriages worldwide and the chicago alliance for animals caa on facebook and twitter here and here and here and here participate in our daily actions and communicate with me and activists around the world on a regular basis so we can work together to ban this archaic relic worldwide and most importantly never give up to make a donation to caa click here follow markhawthorne first annual world aquatic animal day is april 3 april 1 2020 in uncategorized tags animal activism animal rights aquatic animals world aquatic animals day leave a comment because aquatic animals are often excluded from the legal and regulatory frameworks that provide some protection for other non human animals the animal law clinic at lewis clark law school part of the center for animal law studies cals launched its aquatic

law studies we are educating attorneys to advance protection for all animals says pamela hart executive director of cals many of our law students are passionate about helping aquatic animals world aquatic animal day gives students an opportunity to raise awareness about the global threats aquatic animals face along with ways in which each of us can make a meaningful difference the day will both celebrate and help the public understand more about these often forgotten non human animals who live in or near water in other words not only such animals as fishes octopuses corals whales and dolphins but also polar bears penguins amphibians and sea birds sometimes these animals are not even categorized as animals says kathy hessler clinical professor of law at lewis clark that s part of the work of aali to let people know where these gaps are the idea is to educate people says aali fellow amy wilson who do we mean when we say aquatic animals who s included in this category what are the threats that they face what does the law say what are different ways that people can protect them adds professor hessler we want people to take a beat take a minute to think about these animals and then maybe choose whatever advocacy is comfortable for them among the actions you can take educate help others understand the th...
