All-vegans-unite Help end the live dog lab at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
Can you help us end the live dog labs at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine? Twenty years ago, live animals were commonly used in physiology, pharmacology, and surgery classes at medical schools. A standard lab involved anesthetizing the animal, followed by injecting pharmaceuticals or practicing surgical techniques. After the class, the animal was killed. Today, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is the only medical school that still uses dogs in these cruel and unnecessary exercises. Between February and April 2008, two live dog labs are scheduled to take place at Case Western as part of surgery electives. Fortunately, most schools have eliminated live animal labs from their curricula altogether. Innovations in medical simulation technology, availability of alternatives, increased awareness of ethical concerns, and a growing acknowledgement that medical training must be human-focused have all facilitated this shift. Only 11 schools in the United States still use live animals (dogs or pigs) in their curricula. What You Can Do: Send an e-mail to the dean of the School of Medicine and urge her to immediately end the use of live dogs in the surgery courses. Or, you can write to her at the addresses below. Being polite is the most effective way to help these dogs. Pamela B.

All-vegans-unite Fwd: Isn't It Tragically Funny?
Isn't It Tragically Funny In October, man decorates his home and yard with images of black cats at Halloween. 'What a festive image... what a beautiful animal...' he says, only to kill them when they wonder into his yard. In November, he decorates his home and yard with images of turkey dressed as pilgrims. 'What a festive image... what a beautiful animal...' he says, only to kill and eat them by the millions on Thanksgiving. The following week, he goes out to hunt and kill deer by the millions. In December, he decorates his home and yard with white-lights wrapped around wire-frames in the image of these same creatures. 'What a festive image... what a beautiful animal...' he says. In April, he decorates his home and yard with images of bunnies and colored eggs. 'What a festive image... what a beautiful animal...' he says., only to kill rabbits for their fur and kill and eat chickens by the millions year-round.

If anyone would like a copy (or several) for viewing/showing/sharing, please contact John Diamond at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is more info on the film: http://www.asacredduty.com/ http://www.myspace.com/asacredduty From: Melgraj Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:54:41 EST Subject: A Sacred Duty To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to compliment you on a phenomenal documentary. It is extremely powerful and I was so thrilled to see you covered everything that Al Gore did not. It flows so well from the global warming problem to livestock to the health aspects and finishing up with the brutal and horrific treatment of the animals for what ... a meal? I am so sensitive to the feelings of animals that I shook uncontrollably for about a half an hour after I had managed to stop crying - it is quite unbelievable to me that anyone can treat anything in such a manner - the cow's tears will never leave me - as all the shocking atrocities committed against all these sentient beings. How can we possibly call our society civilized? I keep copies of many of the documentaries made about animal suffering such as Earthlings, Meet your Meat, If this is Kosher, Delicacy of Despair and others, which I either give to people or loan out but to be honest with you I cannot watch as I become immobilized - I did watch yours and it is inconceivable what is done to these innocent beings. Anyone with an ounce of morality will change their life after watching your documentary for the sake of the animals, the earth and their health. I plan to ask some people I know who belong to synagogues here to set up appointments with several rabbis and give them a copy of the documentary and ask whether they would share this with their congregation - actually the way I feel right now I just want to put up huge screens everywhere and make sure the public see the indescribable suffering these animals endure and the treatment of them for nothing more than an unhealthy meal. I have found that a powerful tool I use for those people insensitive to animal suffering is giving them a copy of The China Study to read, and everyone I have given the book to (my daughter finds that her friends have become vegan after she has given them Skinny Bitch) has gone vegan (one gentleman in South Africa aged 88 and one in Florida aged 83) and from there have begun to explore the books available on food and animals such as your book Richard and John Robbins and Howard Lyman's books - many have written to me and said that they cannot believe they once ate animals after reading about the treatment of the animals and the illness that can be avoided by going vegan. Thank you for making such a powerful, powerful and truthful documentary that I believe will educate the public about the urgency of changing our habits if they are wise enough to do so, and will help the precious animals and our planet.

All-vegans-unite Social Documentary Photographer seeks used dog/cat collars for photo project to help animals
PLEASE CROSSPOST - AND POST THIS Artist seeking used dog & cat collars for project to demonstrate the plight of euthanized pets!!! Social Documentary Photographer seeksused dog/cat collars PLease Cross post widely and ask rescues to send used collars for this project see address below. This photographer Chris Jordan, is famous for making social commentary by creating large photos that demonstrate the scale in which we consume products and discard them without a care. He wants to do one on the daily disposal & death of companion animals. He has asked for the rescue community to mail used animal collars so he can create a large scale piece to symbolize the number of animals killed in the USA. Chris Jordan's work is shown in museums and galleries world wide, and the subject of a recent documentary. A link to see some of his work is: http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_ set2.php Please support his efforts. He needs 200 collars to make this a reality. Vicki Nick of Time dog rescue Hello Vicki, thank you for your touching message. I have been thinking for quite awhile about doing a piece about this. The best idea I have so far is to use collars. I have been talking to several humane societies around the country, trying to find a few hundred collars, but I can't find anywhere that has them and is willing to give them to me. Do you know of a source for a couple of shopping bags full of used dog and cat collars? If so I would do a piece about this subject right away. Cheers and warm regards, ~cj http://www.chrisjordan.com Chris Jordan 6711 10th Ave NW Seattle WA 98117 USA ph 206 706 1550 Julie Rae People For Pets, SD http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/SD33.html Sioux City Shelter Stats: (July 1-Oct. 31, 2007) Impounded: 483 Dogs; 398 cats Reclaimed: 206 dogs; 1 cat Euthanized: 308 dogs; 772 cats Adopted: 130 dogs; 23 cats Average daily calls/Animal Control: 40 National statistics: Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever get a home.
