Stop The Dog Meat Trade In The Philippines
The dog meat trade, once regarded as an infrequent religious practice, has become a commercialized industry that kills over 500,000 dogs a year! Although dog meat is not eaten by the majority of the Filipino citizens, it is considered a delicacy to certain areas of the country. The handling, treatment and act of violence to secure and sell dog meat is unimaginable and not for the faint of heart.
Once we obtain the necessary signatures, Luc and his mother will be coordinating with others in the Philippines to bring media attention to the petition and the dog meat trade before the elections on May 14, 2007.
It is our hope that the Dogster community can rally together and sign the petition. We ask everyone to sign the petition, post in groups, e-mail friends and create the international public awareness needed to stop this practice.

Stop Euthanizing Owner Surrenders
We are asking this agency to reconsider their practice of euthanizing owner surrenders as in the case of Satch, see story below, where the owner just couldn't take care of him. This puppy could have at least been given a chance to be adopted out. After all you keep strays for at least 72 hours.
Very, very soon this petition needs to go to it's target. It is almost at it's target of 1,000 signatures, so I would appreciate it if you could also forward/cross post.

New Federal Anti Cruelty Law
The average person doesn't know that most people who commit
violent crimes against companion animals receive NO jail time. Most people don't realize that four legged victims of violence do not receive due
consideration in our justice system. How can someone admit to beating a puppy with a baseball bat and not be charged with a crime? It happens all the time. Together, we can change this! If you haven't already, please sign the petition for a new federal anti cruelty law:
