Naturschutz: Giftköder in Spanien bedrohen seltene Tierarten europaweit (17.03.05)

Während sich das klassische Tourismusland Spanien auf der internationalen Tourismusbörse in Berlin wieder gastfreundlich präsentierte, ist Iberien für viele Tiere überhaupt nicht gastlich, weil diese durch Giftköder bedroht sind. Darauf hat jetzt die internationale Umweltstiftung Euronatur hingewiesen. Es könne den Menschen in Deutschland und anderen Ländern nicht egal sein, wie man in Spanien mit dem Thema Natur umginge, da auch viele Zugvögel aus anderen Regionen Europas - darunter etwa Rot- und Schwarzmilan - von der unseligen Praxis der Auslegung von Giftködern betroffen seien.

Mit dem Frühlingsanfang kehren die Zugvögel zurück: Sie sind auf ein intaktes und eng geknüpftes Netz von Rastplätzen angewiesen. Doch diese verschwinden immer mehr aus Europa, kritisierte Claus-Peter Hutter, Präsident der Umweltstiftung Euronatur. Das geschehe durch Landschaftszerstörung aller Art. Aber nicht nur dadurch seien Zugvogel bedroht: Nach wie vor sei würden die Vögel auf ihrer Reise gejagt. Allein im Libanon würden jährlich 20 bis 25 Millionen Patronen verkauft. Das sei "eine unvorstellbare Zahl für ein Land, das kleiner ist als Schleswig-Holstein und nur wenig mehr Einwohner als Berlin hat", sagte Hutter.

500 Animals a Day are Killed by HLS

BAKER HOME DEMO

W.A.R. Target

Huntingdon Life Sciences

Central Park West Update: On January 30, 2005, we reported that the New York Police Department had, after 21 months of peaceful legal protests, denied our application for a sound permit for the demonstrations that take place at the home of Andrew Baker, CEO of Huntingdon Life Sciences. Since then we have spent weekends at Central Park West talking to neighbors and distributing educational literature throughout the community. We are pleased to report that the overwhelming majority of Andrew and Susan Baker's neighbors support our mission and/or our right to be there giving voice to the suffering of countless thousands of animals in the labs of Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Consequently, and with the support of the community, we are resuming our regularly scheduled demonstrations. Beginning this Sunday, we will be holding our Sunday demonstrations every Sunday! We have found our educational outreach program so effective that we are planning on continuing our tabling efforts in addition to our Sunday demonstrations. Community outreach tables will be staffed on Saturdays and Sundays.

For a time, we will be operating without benefit of a sound permit. Central Park West is noisy and busy and our message must be heard over multiple lanes of heavy traffic. What we lack in sound amplification, we hope to gain in a larger number of activists shouting out so our message can be heard up on the 14th Floor of 279 Central Park West. Please join us so we can send a clear and loud message to the Bakers and to the NYPD.....

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED UNTIL THE KILLING STOPS AT HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES

Sunday, February 27, 2005 compassionate New Yorkers will gather at 279 Central Park West (W. 88th St.), the home of Andrew Baker, CEO of HLS, to protest the killing of innocent animals for product testing. Bring a loud voice and your passion to speak out for the animals held prisoner in HLS labs and breeding facilities. Right now there are over 70,000 animals in HLS labs including beagles, cats and kittens, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, rats and mice, etc.

HLS (Huntingdon Life Sciences) is one of the world's largest contract animal testing companies. Five undercover investigations have revealed the horrors hidden behind the closed doors of HLS, a company responsible for the torture and mutilation of hundreds of thousands of animals and death of 500 animals a day. Please join us in sending a message to one of the most reviled corporate executives in the USA, Andrew Baker.

WHEN: Sunday, February 27, 2005 2:00 PM
WHERE: 279 Central Park West at 88th St.
