Where Animal Liberation And Anti-Oppression Meet

December 14, 2013 Liz Gurley Flynn, www.earthfirstjournal.org Strategize! Animal Rights, Racism, Solidarity

This applies not simply to earth (on one side) and animal (on the other side) “issues.” Be it the sexual violence of patriarchy, the racial terror of white supremacy, or the continued genocide against indigenous cultures, lands and peoples; whether the prisoner is locked behind bars for freeing animals, destroying GE fields or engaging in class warfare, our fights are one. To be sure, the paths which will ultimately lead to collective liberation are as varied as the seeming differences in what we’re fighting for (and against). What works to combat imperialism will differ from what works to defend forests. But the need to dispose of lip-service solidarity is urgent.

Is Ocean Oil Drilling Killing Marine Mammals?

October 13, 2013 Hardy Jones, www.bluevoice.org Educate! Animal Rights, Environment, Oil and Gas

During February 2012 rumors began circulating that hundreds of dolphins were dying along the northern coast of Peru. But the beaches are remote and no one had actually confirmed the rumors and certainly not made a reconnaissance. BlueVoice Executive Director Hardy Jones flew to Peru where he joined Dr. Carlos Yaipen Llanos of the marine rescue organization ORCA. In order to verify the number of dolphins stranding on the northern beaches of Peru they traveled north from Chiclayo/San Jose. They counted 615 dead dolphins in 135 kilometers. They thus verified that the die-off that had been rumored was a tragic reality. BlueVoice has funded an ongoing investigation into the cause of the mortality, supporting Dr. Yaipen Llanos in his efforts to necropsy as many dolphins as possible. Here are the results of his investigation.

Brazilians Occupy For Animal Rights, Protesting Widespread Cruelty

August 23, 2013 Antonio Pasolini, www.occupy.com Resist! Animal Rights

Crueldade Nunca Mais started in 2012 in response to the killing of Lobo in the city of Piracicaba, Sao Paulo State. The case of the dog dragged to death by his owner became national news but, despite the outcry, Cláudio César Messias received only a small fine and a suspended six-month sentence. Even though the penalty was symbolic, some people celebrated that the trial resulted in some kind of punishment. Like corrupt politicians who hardly ever land in jail even when they're publicly unmasked, animal abusers in Brazil rarely get caught and when they do, they're let off with a slap on the wrist. One of the reasons is the outmoded legislation that does not reflect the country’s shifting moral compass towards non-humans.
