Cruelty Most Fowl [[link removed]]

Combatting Unacceptable Cruelty to Birds, Including Cockfighting, Live Pigeon Shoots, and an Unprecedented Assault on Owls [[link removed]]

DATE & TIME: Thursday, June 20, at 8 p.m. ET

Pigeon shoots maim and kill animals and treat gentle birds as animated targets. Cockfights result in roosters stabbed in the heart or lungs, due to the knives or gaffs affixed to the combatants’ legs. A planned kill of barred owls may produce an unimaginable body count of 500,000 long-protected raptors.

It collectively amounts to the killing of millions of birds. Animals slashed to death in pits, or shot up in killing fields and forest canopies because there’s not enough compassion for these vulnerable animals.

We can prevent the cruelty—the novel plan by our government to kill owls, the cloaked practice of live pigeon shoots by wealthy elites, and the ages-old practice of staging fights between animals just for human amusement. Together, we can change the fortunes of these animals. It’s you and me who are the last line of defense for these animals.

Join us Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT for the latest in our Claudia Miller Ignite Series on Animal Welfare. [[link removed]]

We want to share with you not only the extent of the problem, but also what you can do to bring about solutions.

*
Pigeon
shoots.
We
must
forge
news
laws
and
toughen
existing
ones
where
wealthy
“sportsmen”
blast
pigeons
with
shotguns
for
prizes.
The
birds
are
caught
in
cities,
confined
and
transported
in
grueling
conditions,
and
released
from
spring-loaded
traps
to
be
shot
as
living
targets
from
point-blank
range.
*
Cockfights.
While
many
people
consider
this
a
morally
settled
issue,
cockfighting
is
a
shockingly
widespread
practice,
happening
on
a
scale
that
is
hard
to
imagine.
Every
year,
there
are
thousands
of
staged
fights
in
our
country,
and
millions
of
birds
are
trafficked
from
the
United
States
to
more
than
two
dozen
nations
across
the
world.
Each
fighting
derby
culminates
in
an
orgy
of
barbaric
fights
to
the
death
with
the
combatants
fitted
with
knives
or
curved
icepicks
on
their
legs.
Other
crimes
always
accompany
the
cruelty,
making
them
dens
of
lawlessness
that
spill
over
into
our
communities.
*
Barred
owl
massacre.
The
Biden
Administration
is
teeing
up
a
scheme
to
kill
500,000
barred
owls
across
the
Pacific
Northwest
and
spend
a
quarter
of
a
billion
of
your
tax
dollars
to
do
it.
Their
only
crime:
adapting
to
human
disturbances
of
the
environment.
The
plan
is
doomed
to
fail
in
protecting
spotted
owls
from
the
effects
of
competition,
and
it
is
the
largest
raptor
killing
plan
any
nation
has
ever
hatched.

The one-hour webinar will highlight our plans and progress on state and national fronts. But our plans cannot take hold and have their intended effect without you. We want to brief you on the problems and work with you to execute plans to stop the slaughter. This webinar is a springboard to action.

Speakers include:

*
Wayne
Pacelle,
president,
Animal
Wellness
Action
and
the
Center
for
a
Humane
Economy
*
Others
to
be
announced

Please join us.

Attendance is free but limited. Register now to guarantee your spot.
