'Pet' or companion animals are left out in the cold by politicians as there is no government minister with responsibility for their protection and welfare. This has implications for all 'pet' owners as well as abandoned animals and the groups that rescue them. While Ireland has led the way in relation to other issues, we are way behind the rest of Europe when it comes to the treatment of our animals. In order for us to truly take our place among the 'civilised' countries of the world, this needs to be addressed now. ... read full story / add a comment

A broad-based network of U.S.-based activists, grassroots organizations, and their allies are betting that this is a time when a U.S. Social Forum could be a vehicle for moving a social, environmental and economic justice agenda to center stage. The U.S. Social Forum planning effort grew out of a series of consultations held in 2003 between activists in the United States and members of the World Social Forum International Council. Grassroots Global Justice (GGJ), a national alliance of U.S.-based grassroots organizations, facilitated the process, including a 2004 meeting of 50 grassroots organizations in Washington, D.C. The 22 organizations spearheading the planning came of age in response to varying forms of community displacement resulting from the last 20-plus years of neoliberal economic policies. ... read full story / add a comment

The Captive Animals' Protection Society and Alliance for Animal Rights have renewed their criticism of the Arts Council for again funding animal circuses, shortly after a major report detailing the poor conditions animals are subjected to in Irish circuses. The Arts Council today announced they had given 230,000 Euros to circuses for 2007, 100,000 Euros more than in 2006. The circuses funded include Duffy’s and Fossett’s, both of which use animals. Both CAPS and AFAR have called into question the Arts Council claim that circuses have to provide a copy of their ‘animal welfare policy’ when applying for funding. The Arts Council have refused to give CAPS copies of the policies and AFAR believe they do not exist. ... read full story / add a comment |
