The Municipal Vet of Be'er-Ya'akov (ISRAEL) refused to accept and give
medical help to a dog who got run-over by cars.
The dog was laying in the middle of the road (within the boundaries of
Be'er-Ya'akov municipal council), while drivers were  bypassing him. The
dog was picked up by a citizen who showed responsibility and care,
stopped his car, and took the bleeding dog.
while the dog was bleeding in his car, he called the municipal vet and
left a message on her answering machine. after an hour he called back
and find that the vet was in her clinic but didn't respond to his call.
He asked if the municipal vet can come and take the dog, but she said
she has no way to do it, to the question whether he can bring the dog to
her, she answered she has nothing to do with this dog, and it was pity
he didn't left the dog were it was. it was pity the dog wasn't run over
again and die, since than she could send an officer to dispose the
corps.

This case is an addition to the fact that municipal vet in ISRAEL were
caught restraining dog to the ground with a lumber, and injecting salt
into their heart as an alternative way
for euthanasia.
After the exposure it got in the media, the municipal vets (with the
support of their governmental supervision) threat they will stop dealing
with rabies, and let rabies spread all over the country...

Subject: Hog Waste Spill Alarms Whooping Crane Fans
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

Oklahoma City, OK USA: Officials at the Salt Plains National Wildlife
Refuge are concerned about the effects of a hog waste spill on
endangered whooping cranes and other birds that often stop at the refuge.

A large part of the whooping crane population, an endangered species,
is expected to fly over the wildlife refuge during the next two weeks as
part of their fall migration from Canada to Texas.

The refuge is located just north of U.S. 64 in Alfalfa County.

An accidental effluent discharge from a nearby hog farm that occurred
last week made its way into part of the refuge where the whooping
cranes and thousands of other birds like to stop. Nutrients from
the waste spurred growth of red algae, depleting oxygen in a creek
tributary and causing some fish to die.

"We are concerned about it," said Rod Krey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
refuge manager.

The discharge occurred last Tuesday on the Castle Brothers hog farm
located across U.S. 64 from the refuge, said David Chandler, general
counsel and interim director of the Oklahoma Dept. of Agriculture's
water quality division.

      Subject: Noah's Ark

          The following information is from the Noah's Ark Web site

(http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6507/governor.html)..  I
          have been in contact with Laura Faltin at the shelter.  The
case is
          coming to trial November 4, 1997 and she is requesting
people  to send
          as many letters as possible.  If additional information is
needed,
          please contact me at [e-mail] or Laura at
          [e-mail].


          On the evening/s March 7-8, 1997, intruders broke into
Noah's Ark, a
          no-kill, not-for-profit, cat
          rescue shelter. At that time, seventy to seventy-five cats
were in
          residence at the Fairfield, Iowa
          sanctuary, where they lived happily in a pleasant two-story
house. The
          intruders brought baseball
          bats with them that night. They viciously beat more than
thirty of the
          resident cats of this loving
          sanctuary, where David and Laura Sykes, the founders and
managers of
          this extraordinary shelter,
          had provided every comfort and luxury they could afford.

          Seventeen cats died of these brutally inflicted injuries
and seven
          cats were seriously injured. Three
          cats were so critically injured that they spent weeks
hospitalized in
          intensive care at the Iowa State
          University Veterinary Clinic.

          The trial date for the three alleged perpetrators in the
Noah's Ark
          Shelter break-in,
          torture and killing of these gentle creatures had
previously been set
          for July 29, 1997.
          On July 15th Justin Toben entered a guilty plea and agreed
to testify
          against the other
          two defendants. The trial for the two remaining defendants
has now
          been postponed until
          November 12, 1997. They are each charged with one count of
third
          degree burglary and
          one count of offenses against an animal facility. Each
charge is a
          Class D felony that
          carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a
$7500.00 fine.

          There are those who think that the break-in, bludgeoning
and stabbing
          to death of the
          cats were little more than 'childish pranks'! They do not
feel that
          this was a serious crime
          deserving of punishment in prison! Psychologists and
criminologists
          alike know that any
          child or youth that tortures other children or animals has
great
          potential for other violent
          crime, and that many animal abusers do go on to commit
other serious,
          violent crimes
          against defenseless humans!

          If you are still unsure if there is a strong link between
animal
          abusers and violent
          criminals please see the articles below:

                          Animal Abuse and Human Abuse: Partners in
Crime

                             Why We Shouldn't Tolerate Animal Cruelty

                               Hurting Animals Often a Sign of Abuse

          The ASPCA makes this statement on their Legal department
webpage:

          "It is critically important for prosecutors and judges to
be urged to
          convict and punish
          animal abusers."

          October 22, 1997

          In response to a request by the attorneys of the two
remaining
          defendants in the Noah's Ark case,
          the judge has granted the defense a change of venue, and
moved the
          trial up to November 4,
          1997. The defense had also requested a split trial, where
the
          defendants would stand trial
          seperately. That motion was denied by the judge.

          The trial will now take place in the city of Bloomfield, in
Davis
          County, about a 25 minute drive
          from Fairfield.

          The Associated Press has just released a very good article
about the
          incident which is being
          published by many newspapers across the country. Look for
it in your
          local paper!

          CBS will have some coverage on 'The Geraldo Rivera Show',
and 'Oprah'
          producers have
          called the Shelter to discuss the possibility of a show on
that very
          popular program.

          '48 Hours' will start filming at the Shelter October 29th,
and will
          include trial footage in their hour
          long show.

          I'm sorry there was no update on the re-scheduling of the
'NBC Today'
          show coverage. The
          coverage of the Shelter break-in story was pre-empted by
John Denver's
          death, and all of the
          follow-up to that story. I only learned of the decision to
broadcast
          the coverage late in the evening
          (11 P.M.) of the evening of October 16th, when Laura Sykes
was
          informed that they planned to
          show their coverage the following morning. There was no
time to inform
          anyone :(


          Please write to the following immediately and let them know
these
          people must be punished.  This case should not be taken
lightly.
