Dear Members Friends,

The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is quite fragile. And for the animals caught in the war zone, life is still very precarious. We urgently need your help in evacuating some of them to safety. Best Friends is working with groups in both Lebanon and Israel. This e-mail is about how we are organizing an evacuation of about 300 dogs and cats from around Beirut. The animals are in the care of BETA (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) – a truly dedicated group and Lebanon’s only animal welfare organization. In the early days of the bombing, when their shelters were being damaged, BETA volunteers moved all the dogs to a farm in the hills outside Beirut. This looked like a safer situation. But now local people are complaining about the dogs and are threatening to poison them at night. This creates an increasingly urgent situation. Hundreds of people in the United States have offered to adopt these displaced pets, and Best Friends is acting on behalf of BETA to make this possible. The big challenge is organizing the transport. Several carriers have agreed to bring the animals to the United States, and at discounted prices. And we have now spoken with the Israeli Embassy about the possibility of lifting the blockade that is still unofficially in place so that we can get the transport under way.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION: We have set up a respectful petition to the government of the State of Israel, supporting our request and asking them to lift any blockade that may be in place and that could prevent the evacuation of these homeless pets. Please view and sign the petition here http://www.ne16.com/t/1527950/93232123/18680189/0/ .

SPONSOR THE EVACUATION: We’re estimating a further cost of about $200 for each of the 300 cats and dogs who will be brought to the United States. (They’ll be coming to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for further health and behavior checks, and then on to new homes.) Your donation to this effort, large or small, will be a huge help. Basically, we can’t do this without you. So please go to http://middleeast.bestfriends.org and make whatever donation you can. This rescue effort is now moving into high gear. We’ll have updates throughout the weekend and next week on how it’s developing. So please check in regularly at http://middleeast.bestfriends.org . As always, thank you for caring. And let’s join together in the simple knowledge that kindness to animals can help us all reach beyond our human conflicts and bring us one small step closer to peace.

Best Friends Animal Society

P.S. We’re still gathering information on what the urgent needs are for displaced pets in Israel, and we’ll address this in our next e-mail. But there is only one animal rescue group in the whole of Lebanon, supply routes are blocked and the most critical need right now is to evacuate the group of dogs and cats in their care to safety. Thank you so much for being part of this.

Join Us for the National Day for Horses

We hope you will be joining us for the upcoming Taking Action for Animals conference Sept 2-5th. However, even if you are not able to participate in the entire weekend's activities, we would still like to invite you to join us for an important Lobby Day event on Capitol Hill.

When: September 5, 2006 What Time: 10:00am - 11:00am Where: at Cannon platform at the corner of Independence Ave. and New Jersey S.E. on the Capitol grounds

It's the National Day for Horses, and we'll be coming together for a rally on the Hill for horses, designed to welcome Congress back to its first day of work and spotlight a critical piece of legislation needed to protect America's horses.

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on The American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503) the first week of September. This legislation would stop the shameful slaughter of nearly 100,000 American horses for human consumption overseas.

To ensure passage of H.R. 503, we need your help — and your active participation the week of the conference.

Visit the Taking Action for Animals website for further details about this critical event. We look forward to seeing you on September 5 as we raise our collective voices for America's horses.

More information on H.R. 503 can be found on the Humane Society of The United States website page, End The Slaughter of America's Horses.
https://community.hsus.org/campaign/FED_2006_horses_cosponsorhouse2

Additional information on other Lobby Day activities September 5th, can be found at the Taking Action for Animals Schedule page.
http://www.takingactionforanimals.com/program.php

It's more important than ever that we have as many animal advocates join together on Tuesday as possible. We'll give you everything you need to be effective - so please make it a priority to attend any or all of the day's events and help us push for legislative reforms for animals.

A message from Judy

Please help save Frida the lion cub! See below...


Original Message:

Dear friends,

Please know that I don't send messages like this out often - this is close to my heart and close to home, and I therefore am asking for your help.

I am upset, outraged, tearing my hair out, over what may happen to a lioness named Frida.

Please read about it here http://www.care2.com/news/member/379549259/159099 and please please sign the petition, I am going to be calling this place in the morning to find out what is going on.

A summary of Frida's plight: "This lion cub was sentenced to death. Sentenced by people for whom only money matters. She can be shot at any time, or restricted in a cage and forced to breed. Again, till death. Only for money."

This will be my first of many steps on a campaign to put an end to canned hunting, trophy hunting.

Thank you so much!

Mandy
