politicians deny freedom to Susi, the sick elephant in the classroom

"Entities dedicated to educating people about animals, conservation of these creatures and the preservation of species." This is a generic definition of the term Zoo, but if we refer to Barcelona could not use it on pain of falling in stupidity or bad faith, because to do so, the similarity between the word and its meaning, would be the same compare the result of a Guantanamo Penal recreational center social.

In this place that is not what it purports to be, living day to day Elephanta Susi his death. And I do, his death, because since Alicia in 2008 killed the same for both wanted and they cut with a chainsaw in front of her leaving a night together at the mutilated remains, their existence is torn between loneliness which was doomed after the cruel loss of his playmate, the sadness that we speak their continuous stereotyped behaviors and serious illnesses that are afflicted, among other reasons caused by the ingestion of plastic containers. Susi and separate captive in the same place is Yoyo, another elephant ordered to pay to end his days a high price for belonging to a different species than human.

Jordi Portabella, ERC President of the Municipal Group in the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bmade a motion to Susi and Yoyo were moved to a shelter where day release, would spend the rest of his days accompanied by copies as and served them well. The proposal also included the Lord Portabella which discontinued the elephants as examples to be displayed in a zoo, a measure that reason and invite sensitivity in a society that gives them advanced and concern for their environment, given the profound physical and psychological abuse that involves animals remain deprived of space, relationships and behaviors of those that enjoy being free and that they are most needed.

One day before this initiative was voted, Mr. Ignasi Cardelús, President of the Barcelona Zoo, he summoned the media to offer his version of events, an exhibition that contained several false statements demonstrable and poured in an attempt to confuse people, because no manager, no matter how unfortunate it is his work, he likes to come to light irregularities or negligence in its management, or even when, as in this case, has living victims of their excesses. And remember that irresponsibility and illegality have no holding hands because, when unfortunately the law does not generally lag behind social reality, but that conduct is not punishable not exempt it from moral conviction, and in fact often these contradictions that throughout history have led to changes occurring in the Standard. The tragedy is that for many defenseless creatures marked by these changes come late in the case of Sue, or social demand occurs with the consequent immediate official response or your name will join the long list of victims of such indifference and neglect.

Cardelús The Lord said the two elephants were born in captivity. That was the first of his lies, as the two came into this world in the wild. Susi did in 1963 and Yoyo in 1968. He also indicated that the City of Barcelona is not competent to decide whether these animals may or may not be transferred to a sanctuary, since according to him who has the authority to determine it is an International Coordinator of the Network of European zoos. There we met his second fallacy is that when Barcelona Zoo a public body is the City Council only has authority over it. In addition, the Network, whose name is EAZA, no more than the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a private entity whose terms are in no way can be higher than those emanating from municipal areas in a situation like this.

Cardelús The Lord also said that the two elephants are separated for a year and a half because the two had spent long periods alone. Third slander as "uninformed" President, because he lived with Alicia Susi until March 2008 and Yoyo did with Eve. Anyway, never imposed isolation is a successful adaptation for a species that needs to engage with their peers and demonstrates the fact that elephants have come to pass in zoos to ten years in solitude, have become accustomed to the change immediately when they have been returned to the situation that should never be uprooted: individuals living with his group.

do not know to what extent this cruel farce media conducted by the head of the Barcelona Zoo has influenced the municipal vote of the Commission on the Environment, but the reality is that the motion has fallen through and that both Susi, in a state almost terminal, as Yoyo, be followed held in that place for them means no more than estrangement, pain and sadness. And after them come other elephants, because neither has been achieved with the votes that these beings are no longer simple amusement rides. Perhaps, some when they opted for the rejection of the initiative have not stopped to reflect on the scope of its decision, or perhaps have done so, but whether you have done or not aware of what his decision meant, what shockingly sick about that unhappy elephant has turned to fall a decision to remain in his cell, and this time, issued by some women and men who are filling the mouth talking about rights and freedom.

The Mayor of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bin a display of cynicism, said to be scientists and not politicians who make a decision about the future of Susi. Anyone who listen to such a statement might seem consistent, but certainly not the same impression at the sight of a couple of circumstances that speak volumes about the true scope as Regidor, given the findings of dedicated individuals to study these creatures. The first is that God never said Jordi Hereu mail Dr. Joyce Poole requesting an appointment, an eminence in research on African elephants in both wild and in captivity in zoos and circuses and leading dedicated three decades. It also ignored the letters in the last two years has been submitted by experts as the ethologist and professor at the University of Colorado Mark Bekoff, or professors Robert Atkinsson and Peter Stroud. All those tried in vain to convey their impressions of the behavior against nature and tremendous injustice that was perpetrated against Susi.

The second piece that sheds light on the role that really gives the Mayor to science in the care of animals is given by the abhorrent fact that as Director of the Barcelona Zoo has put not a scientist, which thanks to their training and experience know what is best for animals, but a lawyer, Mr. Miquel Trepat, which comes from no less than the Prison Service. In any case, it must be recognized that the Lord Hereu hit in that appointment, because despite its statements in the press, the truth is that this zoo is just a miserable prison for creatures such as Susi and Yoyo, and therefore seems most logical that a professional who struggled in prisons takes its direction, as episodes like the one in question leave no room for doubt: the welfare ranks last in the range of values responsible for the Zoo.

While certain politicians and their minions strategically placed in positions such as the detention center, trying to give the public his face more environmental and conservationist, Susi, unknowingly, has been closed which probably meant the last door to freedom, which would lead not only to a place where it could regain some of what one day was stolen, but also to delay a slow death every day that passes in its current confinement, has launched a new bite to his bowels inflicting suffering which can never make us share his voice, but it is enough to look their eyes to discover.

Association released animals!, In collaboration with other groups, has long fought for this elephant have to stop the torture he is subjected by selfishness and thoughtlessness of certain human beings, and although we know that we can never get rid of the terrible injuries that accompany a past punctuated by physical and psychological troubles that job after his release is intended that the time remaining life, can enjoy what the recovering nature demands. Because an elephant is not ready to be displayed in a limited space, or to lack co-species, or to throw objects or treats him children. And Susi, enclosed, single and very weak, eats bags of crisps being thrown, eat excrement, suffering blackouts, endless swings his trunk and head, legs kicking and languishes while probably in his brain like scenes his partner Alicia murdered by operatives of the Zoo, go engulfing the increasingly distant memories of his days of freedom in Africa.

these elephants will never know how close we were to leave this hell. I would have gotten if carried the motion by the Mr. Portabella, so if the campaign would be FREE! Susi had opened the eyes of some politicians about the cruelty that is treating this animal. But no, when power and folly live in the same being, the result is that for that person not have the inaudible prayers for the victims, nor the pride lets you hear the voice of those who lend it to those who do not. So Susie and Yoyo will continue for now imprisoned in the Barcelona Zoo. But something can be sure that they have decided: that despite this defeat with tragic consequences we will not forget them, nor will point out, with names, incompetence and the falsity of the guards of these poor creatures.

Wart On My Thumb Knuckle What Is It

My children understand the concept of death. They know that one day their parents will come and so will yours. I've never hidden reality is absurd to try to ignore, or shall have been sweetened with promises so difficult to formulate and who does not believe in them, but if anything I have been concerned is to instill respect for life by making them understand that no it may be taken to anyone, and it is their duty - and right - fight to prevent others from abusing his power or force, it will rob someone or inflict suffering.

Therefore, as a parent, would not consent to submit some individuals in your school to explain that, "as death is inherent in nature to be alive," is justified for the man to kill animals pleasure. However, those whose children study in centers of Castilla y León, will have, unless otherwise require, to compromise with the President of the Hunting Federation of the Community, accompanied by fellow fans, walk around the classroom to transfer students with a message that denied the right to life of certain beings and praises his disposal. They claim these musketeers not willing to continue to accept is taught in schools as they call a "culture of Bambi."

What is behind this project in your class to raid with their hands stained with blood and with eager eyes to behold the agony of others, these people feel to the kids telling them to shoot a animal is fun, necessary and natural, and not appearing to do what they are, some performers, but as environmentalists vow to love those who kill? For it is their discomfort with the gradual reduction of licenses and the law that affect the weapons and the desire to increase the number of wolves allowed shakes Castilla y León. Say it is a kind of "symbolic" and that permit the killing of more "favors the arrival of hunters from other communities." All called for a tourism bloodthirsty to kill a creature that certainly exceeds them nobility.

Iturmendi Mr. Santiago, who knows what will these parents, but I guarantee that if you break into the college of my children to try to wrest his respect for the animals and poison me with their passion to exterminate them, I was not going to stand idly by. And I would rather know that my children do not believe in Bambi, they do not need an animal that speaks to respect their right to freedom and life. Maybe it's you who needs to learn.

Hunters kill foxes a man's game

Each year, around this time, writing driven by the same reason, a reason can not be ignored because only the chosen stupidity as a pattern of behavior or selfishness - and all claim to be free of both - can lead us to remain indifferent to the abuses that do not affect us directly or that we are not witnesses but aware of his shameful existence. I may be accused of repetitive, but I think it is the silence itself as a solution to fatigue or fear to arouse the others, the most appropriate response to a Repeated savagery and spoiled. So, as I feel able to do so, follow each January publicly expressing my disgust and my pain from a terrible episode, still legal, which soon will be another issue: the killing of foxes in Galicia under the label of "National Championship Game Raposo." I sign insistence on the same thing is true, but the frequency of hunters killing is greater than mine and they do it because they have fun. Who is most damaging of the two?

hunting season comes to an end and hopefully do with it too numerous "Accidents" that so many human casualties have been caused during the period VENATORIA. But the riflemen want to leave, as always, big, and to this end nothing better than leaving the Galician hills planted with the carcasses of animals that conceived only as targets on which to exercise aim, and not as they really are, beings Playing live, want, care for their young, feel and suffer like we do.

is as if these people in order to cope with weeks that are not allowed to kill, you need to collect, while it is still lawful, the maximum number liters of blood of others, so in few days will shed with brutal show generosity without a hint of pity for their victims and assaulting them without the slightest feeling of guilt or embarrassment for such a devastating performance. "Permission to Kill, behold an inconceivable reality, a legal atrocity which plunges in disgrace to the society that grants authorization so fierce: those responsible for giving and citizens who reject such practices to silence before them.

hunters take the fact of leaving the mountain armed with intent to shoot you to the animals that cross his path as if it were a game. And no doubt that these guys are entertaining but they do haul so much suffering and destruction. But we, what we do not delight in the agony of other beings, we should make a reflection that it would be absurd to ask the canana: animals, including foxes, also play. In fact this is one of the most important in your life and when ever carried out the intention or the result is to inflict injury or death to fellow entertainment, although they do not exceed in size, strength and leadership. I assume it as a fun learning addition, factors that benefit both, but in the case of hunting, a pastime fierce man who spends time and money, he takes solace and death elsewhere. A clear example of how in this respect, the animals show intelligence and morality of the human species is often lacking or at least subject to unhealthy passions, which is more serious.

few days ago I read a English hunters say they should make a common front with their colleagues from British fans, and they said because there in an exercise of wisdom and sensitivity, hunting Fox has been banned, as here, it seems, feel threatened by the restrictions that await them in weapons issues, they thought most appropriate to extol the courage of those who had to do without this distraction in England to add strength and have a more pressure. Not appear in the UK have been devoured by these sagacious animals to stop and destroy them in our country, but this is the excuse that they use to destroy them, nor run the risk of being gobbled up these mammals. The pernicious "conservationists" natives are well aware that in England did not need the services of the bloody game yet want to return there to kill foxes. Do not show this attitude that the only thing that leads them to tighten the trigger is the pleasure they feel when they kill? They unmask themselves.

Many foxes will truncate his life in Galicia in a few days, others wounded, will hide in the forest and meet the same fate within hours or days, they will do after a dreadful agony. Hunters responsible for the slaughter, when the closing time stipulated will end their "game" will have the bodies, they probably will in a closed inaccessible to the public and the media, as in recent years because of his image so committed environmental damage is not as if happen to show with a huge dilapidated carpet and bloodied bodies at his feet, then handed the trophy for - win of course anyone who kills more - and finally, will be launched to celebrate his feat game: abundant food and drink to celebrate the killing while in the bush , foxes dying by gunfire is unnecessarily lick their wounds. And here in the rational world, the men, except some "heavy", the rest indifferent as savage and senseless carnage, thereby providing evidence that if anything we can presume, is to be the most selfish creatures sometimes , angry and in the background, also more morons on the planet.

Contribution Of Progressivism

to Mr Zapatero, a defender of bullfighting

Mr Zapatero: You said in an interview that Catalonia should not be banned bull bulls. You know something?, As he had never heard take a position on this issue I thought I personally did not support the torture of an animal in the sand. A new error on my part, I say again because I also thought at the time that he cared more for workers in banking, or families that electrics.

uses the terms "taste" and "fans" elevating them to elements of the allegedly craves freedom for citizens. Therefore considers that bullfighting should be preserved and to go to contemplate the agony of a bull is an act of free will. Okay, so, if that's your opinion, have the guts to acknowledge publicly that message is satisfied with the legitimacy of violence against living beings transmitted during the fight, especially children, and also that the suffering of the bull seems a matter irrelevant. Either that, or admit frankly that as a political tactic is maintaining an attitude that conflicts with their sensibility and rationality as a human being.

The legality of the proceedings in Catalonia for the abolition was absolute. This reality prevents him, of course, to repeal a law that meets all the requirements for approval. Closed the road rules you just need to throw the people a message of rejection to the ILP. What has with such a strategy?, as do their part to the sector responsible for taurine, the same as a few months ago insulted him by not opting against banning bullfighting. It has sought, Mr President, the turncoat friends could conceive. Do not forget to look in the hand when the narrow and are grateful for their statements, perhaps it is found stained with the blood of the victims of their liberty.

Let me tell you something: until recently, and although I do not identify with either, preferring, as "lesser evil", they won the Socialists before the popular. You have got to give me and the same. No difference to those parties in the policy that emanates from its leaders. Fortunately abound and although there are local authorities of both courses with a very different sensibility as to the brutality with the animals is concerned. Mr Zapatero, followed, if desired, feeding this display of savagery and ignorance that I am grateful to gradually remove the mask, because it's always good to know the underlying taurofilia the politician who promised Protection Act Animal effective. Every day I remind you closer to the "Founding Fathers" that filled the node.

Roads, a slaughter of animals

The other night I was reading on the couch when I heard it was a coup followed by a short shriek. I went immediately to the right, on the road that passes in front of my house, I saw a car stopped on the roadside seemed to be owned by examining the front of the vehicle. I then looked to the left while inside me begged: "No, please!" And she sensed what was going to see and the idea terrified me. My fatal premonition came true: there, lying on the asphalt, was the tiny body of a cat. I ran to him with security that would recognize. And so it was stationary creature whose mouth was gushing blood Vulpia, a beautiful cat to feed every day and only a few hours before, as usual, had been playing with one of their young lives with me. It was very strange to stay away from home and usually remained at the door or raise the window sill, but tonight he wanted to venture a little more and cursed the hour in which he did. I can not keep his image, a moment before looking through the glass, how to know which was the last time he would live! This week was scheduled to take her to be sterilized. It is no longer necessary. Will not meow asking for food or to get between my legs, do not chase your puppy anymore. She's dead.

Vulpia do not know if he crossed to the driver but he could do nothing to avoid it, but what I am sure of is that it occurred close to the animal if it were alive to carry to an emergency veterinarian. His only concern was whether his car had been dented bumper. And I know something else: that this road, which limit is 50 kph, vehicles, especially at night, mostly to spend more than twice as fast. Few brake in crosswalks even if they see a pedestrian crossing with intent. I'm tired of having long-dead animals and sensing that sooner or later someone will behold that of the step they took from A Xunta after months of sending repeated letters about the situation, was installed in front of my house a band reducing with a fixed speed so ridiculous, that the cars pass over it without hardly noticing it packed. They did it just to leave them in peace, because that is what I have to know - yes, very good words - to express my disagreement with a performance with a lot of Paripe and virtually no effectiveness.

Near where I live is a fast track where a every other day hit animals also die. There will undoubtedly be subjected to other species unknown to me, but I have recorded at least the following: dogs, cats, foxes, wild boars, horses, hedgehogs and owls. Several months ago, while going down that road, I saw a cocker wandering disoriented through the center of it, passing cars dodged it both ways but none of them stopped to pick it up. Today, fortunately for him and then to pass so close to death, is in a foster home where we care for and love you. So complicated is "losing" a few minutes and take the dog to a place that has no chance to emerge unscathed by itself?

Not long ago, and another road in the area in the distance I saw something black in the middle of my lane. In front of me was a car that did not stop to get there, not even pulled away, ran over but failed to touch with any wheel. That driver had to realize, as I did, that this "package" was a black cat that had just run over and he was still alive. What kind of person is able to move with his vehicle on a wounded animal? And how to take it by without stopping to help him and follow his path as if nothing had happened? Be very despicable to show such vile behavior. The picture of a greyhound that appears in this text metal lying on a stretcher, is that of a dog that was abandoned after being hit in that state for a long time, was seen by hundreds of people passed by without being moved until the Finally, one stopped, picked it up, I tried day care and the animal is recovered and adopted. Most do not have that "luck" and die alone after hours of suffering.

I am convinced that most people try to dodge a child suddenly crossing the road, and that some - not as many as before - extreme caution when they see her on the shoulder, for no one escapes the unpredictability of their movements. But there is a good group of people whose reaction at the wheel depends exclusively on the size of the animal, and what a quick and easy calculation to perform, the brake or turn is a measure made on the basis that they can run him over or cause damage in the car. For this reason, all you have time to stop it before a horse, but a few do not stop or divert the case of a cat and few very few do so when an unhappy hedgehog slowly crossing the road.

I know that sometimes accidents are inevitable, otherwise there would be no crossing pedestrians killed by a reckless manner. And I know that the abuses of animals at times cost him his life to the driver. However, behind these events impossible to avoid laying is involved in them, is often negligent attitude of the Administration, since such type of fatal incidents often take place in high-speed tracks where, precisely to avoid such tragedies, should be animal crossing and closures for the margins to prevent the emergence of animals, beings who do not may be required to be aware of the danger and they know the highway code, but men whose job is responsible for effective management such infrastructure.

How many roads compliant as far as habitat protection concerns?, Especially taking into account that the work almost always means a change in a natural environment category ecosystem. It is common not enable passageways for animals adapted to the species in the area, or if they are built Poorly designed or impractical. It is also very normal to find that the road side panels have openings or breaks can fit even for larger specimens. This lack of foresight, expertise and maintenance has resulted in the deaths of millions of animals and dozens of human beings each year.

The shocking picture of bodies rotting by the roadside could be minimized and much fighting traffic external factors, such as abandonment, breeding pets for sale or sterilization, and other inherent therein, such is a proper fence on the roads that need it or wildlife crossings effective, and what the drivers are concerned, greater respect for speed limits, stop if time and space for it when we see an animal crossing, whatever their nature or size, or extreme caution if we observe that walking along the shoulder, just like we would if instead of a dog was a child.

If despite all this, comes the unfortunately we can not prevent abuse, we must have the sensitivity, generosity and courage to stop and get off the car, but not to check if there is a scratch on the plate, but to see if it is still possible to save that cat that perhaps all who has a fractured leg and therefore could be cured and live. But if you leave lying there another car that will crush the tail, and behind you break one more than the hip ... and thus, their agony will last until a driver, nor will stop, go through his wheel over the animal's head exploded against the asphalt.

And if they are afraid that the poor creature be soiled with blood wound the tapestry of their brand new car, put it under some newspapers or plastic. Or if you want to spend a few euros at the vet, call the nearest protective than good sure, in this situation will not let the animal left to its fate fatal. Solutions to their squeamishness or material impediments exist, if they want to search, of course, because it is no remedy for selfishness and hardness of heart. And miserable, very miserable have to be to pass over a living and continue without looking back. The others, those who trample can avoid it, are simply criminals.
