Moderated Re: Woodside Rodeo Protest-July 4th

 

Thanks for all you do, Pat. ?

It¡¯s interesting that the article on the rodeo that closed in So Cal lists a virus as one of the reasons for closure (in addition to attendance) but barely mentions it. ?

Hard to believe a place like Woodside has a rodeo!

We bring you breaking news... Animal Justice has just released an e³æ±è´Ç²õ¨¦ documenting, for the first time, the entire grueling journey of horses shipped live from Canada to Japan for slaughter.

As you probably know, Canada ships thousands of live horses to Japan every year from the Winnipeg and Edmonton airports. Once in Japan, the horses are first fattened up, and then violently slaughtered and served raw as sashimi, a delicacy for the wealthy.

With the help of Japanese animal advocacy group Life Investigation Agency, this new investigation shows that most shipments illegally exceed the already brutal 28-hour time limit for Canadian animals to be transported without food, water, or rest. This is contrary to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)'s assurances that the horses are only in transport for 24 hours.


When finally arriving in Japan after the overseas flight, the already exhausted and terrified horses then face more transport and abuse, including being sprayed with a harsh disinfectant that stung the eyes of our investigator. Desperately dehydrated, some horses tried to lick the caustic chemical off of the nets of the truck.

Here's the video...

Here's how we're asking AJAers to help:

1. Send this to CFIA to immediately halt horse shipments to Japan and investigate these violations.

If you have the time, remember that changing up the subject line and body of the email (shortening it is the easiest) makes these auto-emails more impactful.



2. Share the investigation video from the Animal Justice social media platforms.


(will be released shortly)



3.

Let's get as many eyes on this video as possible to help put the pressure on government to quickly pass the bill to ban this practice!

And don't forget about our AJA Lunchtime Live TOMORROW with Animal Rising...

The largest investigation into animal farming in the history of the UK was released this month. It exposed 45 farms that had been certified "RSPCA Assured" by the world's oldest animal welfare charity.

The group behind this groundbreaking e³æ±è´Ç²õ¨¦ was Animal Rising... The same organization that last summer staged an unprecedented disruption at Britain's Grand National horse race that garnered front page stories across the country and headlines around the world.

We'll have Animal Rising Co-Director Rose Patterson joining us for TOMORROW's AJA Lunchtime Live, so we can dig into the origins, strategies, and goals of this group that's taking the animal advocacy movement by storm.

Rose will share with us the nuts and bolts of what it's taken to pull off these activism feats designed to generate a national conversation about the need for a world where humanity shares a positive relationship with animals and nature.

Hope to see you there to get inspired to dream bigger and strategize more effectively!

Excelsior 4:?Sentencing Appeal Outcome

The good news is that the BC Court of Appeal has overturned the jail sentences of Amy Soranno and Nick Schafer of the Excelsior 4 trial.

The bad news is that they'll still be under house arrest for four months, probation for a year, and will have criminal records. The sentence of jailtime was a first for activists in Canada involved in a peaceful protest (in any social justice issue).

Also, despite undeniable evidence of neglect, abuse, and cruelty, Excelsior Hog Farm has faced NO charges.

The Morning

June 23, 2024

Good morning. Today my colleague Katie Thomas is writing about the changing world of pet health care. We¡¯re also covering an Arkansas shooting, chicken recipes and a mermaid parade. ¡ªDavid Leonhardt

The new pet care

By

I¡¯m an investigative reporter with a focus on the intersection of money and health care. I have a dog named Gerald.

Pets these days are just like us. They get birthday cakes, day care and rubber boots to wear in the snow. Their health care is becoming more human, too ¡ª for better and for worse.

Decades ago, animal care was relatively rudimentary. Veterinarians usually owned their own clinics, and the options to treat a sick or injured pet were limited. Today, animal hospitals are equipped with expensive magnetic resonance imaging machines, round-the-clock critical care units and teams of specialists in cancer, cardiology and neurology. For pets and the people who love them, the advances are welcome.

But as animals¡¯ health care has changed to more closely resemble our own, it has also taken on some of the problems of the human system, including the biggest one: cost. The price of veterinary care has soared more than 60 percent over the past decade, outpacing inflation. Private equity firms have snapped up hundreds of independent clinics, in a trend reminiscent of corporate roll-ups of doctors¡¯ offices. Veterinarians around the country told me that they worry this is changing the way that they practice, as they face growing pressure to push costly treatments and order more tests.

The changed landscape means that even as veterinarians can do more for dogs and cats than ever before, pet owners face sometimes heartbreaking decisions about whether they can afford the care. (.)

Changes in the industry

About one-quarter of primary care clinics and three-quarters of specialty clinics are owned by corporations, according to Brakke Consulting, which focuses on the animal health industry. Sometimes, the corporate ownership is not obvious: Many private equity firms do not change the name of the vet clinic when they take it over.

Most veterinarians are paid, at least in part, based on how much money they bring into a practice, whether that is by ordering tests, selling prescription dog food or performing procedures. One veterinarian said she quit her job after she was told her ¡°cost per client¡± was too low; another said she was told she needed to see 21 animals a day, about a half-dozen more than her current workload.

A man and his dog outdoors with the sun shining
Retired veterinarian David Roos and his dog, Chester.?Mike Kai Chen for The New York Times

Other veterinarians said the pressure had no influence on the care they provided. In interviews, they said they bore the brunt of pet owners¡¯ complaints, even when they have little to do with setting prices. Veterinarians far less money than for humans, and are also often in debt from years of education. Prices have gone up partly because of the rising cost of drugs, vaccines and other supplies, as well as worker salaries in a tight labor market.

One veterinarian I interviewed, Dr. Pam Nichols of South Jordan, Utah, has seen the transformation firsthand. When she was starting out in the 1990s, she said she used to sneak dachshunds into the human hospital where her father was a radiologist to give them M.R.I. scans. If the dog needed surgery, the bill would be about $2,000. Now, she said, a similar dog might get an M.R.I. and a CT scan, and will probably be operated on by a specialist who is assisted by several nurses. The cost could reach $10,000.

Tough choices for owners

Veterinary care differs from human health care in one big way: Most pet owners pay out of their own pocket ¡ª and in full ¡ª before leaving the vet¡¯s office. While pet insurance is available, only a small percentage of pet owners have it.

A generation ago, pet owners with a seriously ill animal may have had little choice but to opt for euthanasia if they wanted to relieve their pet¡¯s suffering. Now, they must choose between extending the animal¡¯s life and going into what can be debilitating debt, or letting an animal die. I spoke to some pet owners who were still paying off credit card debt years after their animals had died. And animal welfare groups said owners frequently relinquished their pets to shelters because they couldn¡¯t afford veterinary bills.

For many people, though, the sacrifices are worth it. That was the case for Claire Kirsch, who was earning less than $10 an hour as a veterinary technician in Georgia when her own dog, Roscoe, and her horse, Gambit, each had medical emergencies, resulting in bills that totaled more than $13,000. The animals would have died if she had not opted for the additional care. She took a higher-paying job, maxed out a credit card and tapped into her husband¡¯s retirement account to pay off the debt.

¡°I knew I would never be able to forgive myself if we didn¡¯t try,¡± she said.

THE INTERVIEW

A woman looking over her shoulder
Gretchen Whitmer?Philip Montgomery for The New York Times

By

This week¡¯s subject for The Interview is Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who is a co-chair of the Biden campaign. We talked about her new book, ¡°True Gretch,¡± her hopes for her fellow Gen X politicians and President Biden¡¯s challenges this election.

Something you write a lot about in the book is the power of messaging. In 2017 and 2018, your slogan was ¡°Fix the damn roads.¡± I learned a lot about Michigan roads reading your book. [Laughs.] But my editor had to Google to find out what Biden¡¯s slogan is, and it¡¯s ¡°Finish the job,¡± which I have to say is not much of a humdinger. I¡¯m curious if you have sharper ideas, because you seem to be good at this. And right now Democrats nationally are really struggling with messaging about where the party stands.

National message is always a challenge. Washington, D.C., is so far away from the average person¡¯s life that to conceptualize what a $3 trillion investment in onshoring supply chains means to your everyday life is darn near impossible to discern. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve always learned, when you show up and ask people, they¡¯re going to tell you what they want. ¡°Fix the damn roads¡± was not something that we poll-tested or focus-grouped. It was just conversation after conversation. What do you need me to do if I¡¯m elected? Fix the damn roads.

It¡¯s ironic because President Biden passed an infrastructure bill. He is fixing the damn roads. And bridges! And internet!

Right, but he¡¯s not getting credit for it. Why do you think that is? For that same reason. I think the pandemic¡¯s taken a toll. People are stressed out. They¡¯re just trying to pay the grocery bill, get the kids off to school, show up at their job and maybe get a little bit of sleep at night. They¡¯re not consuming everything. They ³¦²¹²Ô¡¯³Ù discern what the CHIPS Act has meant. And so we¡¯ve got to tell that story better.

Big Dogs Needing Homes??

big dogs

As big dogs continue to overwhelm shelters in California, the Bay Area continues to struggle. Oakland Animal Shelter remains incredibly full, and the more big dogs we adopt out, the more we can take in from other area shelters. Our Behavior and Training Department does a great job learning about all the dogs in our Novato shelter, and adopts out our big dogs often with comprehensive programs and suggestions to set them up for success in their new home. ?

We're always in need of big dog fosters, so please contact jboyd@... if you¡¯re available to foster over the summer. Our dogs would love to get a break from the shelter environment and relax, stretch their legs, and have a ball with available families. ?

In the meantime, check out some of our big dogs for adoption on our website! .


healing

Transitions and Healing

Animals come to us in all kinds of conditions, and many need medical help before adoption. After being treated by our wonderful veterinary team, the vast majority recuperate in foster care when it¡¯s available. It never ceases to amaze us when fosters step forward offering patience, care, and love to help the animals heal and recuperate in a home setting. With bandages needing changing and medication dispensed, these unsung heroes generously give their time and hearts to helping many of our animals heal, and we are incredibly grateful. ?

Two of our recent sweet peas who are now doing beautifully include Chicha the puppy found in a stolen car in Oakland with head trauma (now fully recovered), and Seamus the gargantuan cat who came to us extremely overweight at 30 pounds, (who has now lost a third of his entire body weight)! It takes a village, and we are always in awe of people¡¯s generosity towards animals.


You are Always Welcome!?

You¡¯re always welcome to visit us at either of our two locations, as well as join us as a volunteer or foster at any time! We love our community and enjoy staying connected. We are part of a greater whole with Marin Humane which means we now have two locations ¨C Oakland and Novato.

Moderated CORRECTION-Woodside Rodeo Protest-July 4th-11am Start Time

 



Please join Humanity Through Education in educating Rodeo patrons that animal abuse is not acceptable and should not be considered entertainment. The Woodside Rodeo is an annual 4th of July Junior Rodeo in which kids are taught to be cruel to other animals, including chasing scared baby pigs and pouncing on them or grabbing them by a leg to capture them in order win what is euphemistically called a ¡°.¡±

?

The foundation of Rodeo ¡°entertainment¡± is causing animals fear and pain and making sport of their desire to escape. The only reason and violently buck and kick is because of the pain caused by the bucking strap. In the case of the bull the strap is cinched tightly across his penis. A ban on bucking straps would kill the rodeo as bucking horses and bulls are the main rodeo events.

?

Other cruel events include and ¡°steer wrestling.¡± Please stand with us against this cruelty.

GOOD NEWS-Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo, in Southern CA, has shut down after 21 years due to low attendance.
