"No Less Courage"

By KATE McCABE

In a statement to his lawyer, Guantánamo detainee and hunger strike organizer Binyam Mohammed al-Habashi said of his plans to protest his unlawful imprisonment by the United States: "I do not plan to stop until I either die or we are respected. [We] will definitely die. Bobby Sands petitioned the British government to stop the illegitimate treatment of Irishmen without trial. He had the courage of his convictions and he starved himself to death. Nobody should believe for one moment that my brothers here have less courage."

AN animal welfare charity that rehomes abandoned greyhounds for Bord na gCon has been told to pick up a huge tab after the board said it has no more money to give them.

Gina Hetherington of PAWS in Sallins, Co Kildare, says she has been left reeling by the news that the Irish Greyhound Board's 2006 fund for retired dogs, which stands at €250,000, is apparently gone - despite being just four months into the year.

The charity, which rescues abandoned greyhounds from pounds, may now have to find up to €145,000 to cover veterinary bills, kennel boarding fees and transport costs or else leave the unwanted dogs to their grisly fate. read full story / add a comment
international / animal rights / press release Tuesday May 09, 2006 02:11 by Win Animal Rights at: [email protected]
With the recent drop of Huntingdon Life Sciences (stock symbol: LSRI) off of
the Pink Sheets and onto the 'Grey Market' and the loss of their last
significant institutional investor, Columbia Management/Bank of America, the
only thing keeping HLS afloat is their key customers and suppliers. While a
watchful eye on Wall Street will show whether anyone else gets the bright
idea of investing in LSRI or making a market for them, attention should now
be focused on the small group of companies that are providing HLS with
enough ballast to keep their heads above water read full story / add a comment
