Phoenix's Song

Crossposting for Phoenix and all sick, starving, suffering abused and neglected animals;

Dear all,

Sharing our song for Phoenix which we finished last night, it took us several months to get around to recording it as we are always a few songs behind and have a list of music to write for animal issues. This song was requested by Zara who has been following the case, part of the email that she wrote to us is below. I never forgot this letter or the kindness of the medical staff who gave Phoenix precious time to just be a dog, even for a few minutes, before she sadly had to be euthanized becaue of her injuries.

So Phoenix now has her song, she rests in peace and I hope her story will help to raise awareness of animal abuse so that we can help other dogs at risk in the future. Please feel free to share and if there are any updates about the court case I'll add them to Phoenix's page on our website. If anyone would like a copy of the song just let me know & I'll send it through.

From Zara's email -

''Phoenix, a 2 year old pit bull. She survived but they did put her to sleep after a while because her kidneys were failing due to her injuries and her pain. I am told by a friend in Baltimore, where it happened that they took her outside and let her see the grass and the sky before they sent her on her final journey. She was giving kisses and wagging her tail right up to the end of her life.

When she closed her eyes for the last time I pray she knew love and her pain ended. I can't stop crying and I can't write anymore sorry my friend.''

Capital Region: ADK-AR Events This Weekend

Posted by: "Adirondack Animal Rights" adkanimalrights@gmail.com

Fri Aug 27, 2010 12:01 pm (PDT)

Please bring a vegan dish to share, as well a drink and your own place setting.

goodies for dessert and have an all around awesome time! Hope to see

you there!

Sunday, August 29th 12:00PM: Anti-Vivisection Demonstration at Albany

Medical College

Corner of New Scotland and Holland Avenues, Albany

In 2008, Albany Med killed 12 dogs, 13 rabbits, 8 non-human primates,

38 pigs, 2 goats and 116 chinchillas. They claim that 99% of their

research is done on mice and rats. Mice and rats are not included in

the Animal Welfare Act and therefore do not have to be reported.

Therefore the 189 animals that Albany Med reported to have killed in

2008 represent only 1% of the total number of lives taken.

After some simple math, the actual number of lives taken in 2008 is

closer to 19,000. That's Nineteen Thousand.

We do no accept this number. We do not accept Albany Med's "excuses"

that this cruelty is necessary. It is not, and we will continue to

remind them of this on the fourth Sunday of each month.

SOS for Canadian Geese

Dear friends of Canada geese:




NYC Audubon is trying to reach a goal of having 1,000 people register formal complaints with the City about the rampant killings of Canada geese. All you have to do is call 311 (or 212-NEW-YORK from outside of NYC) and register a complaint. There are several important things to remember when phoning 311 with your complaint:

When registering a complaint, its important to say that you would like to "register an opinion with the Mayor." 311 may encourage you to submit the complaint through an email address or via mail, but it is possible to register an opinion through 311, and NYC Audubon has confirmed this several times with 311 supervisors. The more people who phone to register a complaint, the more familiar 311 operators will likely become handling this type of complaint.

It's possible that 311 operators will attempt to categorize your complaint. The appropriate category for this type of issue is "Environment."

It's possible that 311 operators will ask you about the date and time of the incident. Its ok to say you're not exactly sure, and to ask that they use today's date and time for their form.

Please e-mail us your tracking number so we can follow up on it later. Emails can be sent to info@nycaudubon.org

If you encounter any challenges registering your complaint, please phone Jeff Friedrich at 212-691-7483

With your support, NYC Audubon can encourage City officials to engage with us in drafting a better plan for managing Canada geese in New York City.

Iowa Farm Traced as Source of Bad Eggs (Re-call)

SALMONELLOSIS, SEROTYPE ENTERITIDIS - USA (03): EGGS, RECALL
***********************************************
A ProMED-mail post

An egg recall has expanded to more than half a billion eggs, and
federal officials say 2000 illnesses have been reported connected to
the salmonellosis outbreak.

Eggs from an Iowa producer linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis had
sparked a nationwide egg recall this past week. That has expanded to
a 2nd egg producer, Hillandale Farms. The firms sold eggs to
wholesalers and distributors in numerous states, and the eggs were
distributed nationwide.

The CDC issued the following guidelines for consumers:
-Don't eat recalled eggs or products containing recalled eggs.
Recalled eggs might still be in grocery stores, restaurants, and
consumers' homes.
-Consumers who have recalled eggs should discard them or return them
to their retailer for a refund.
-Individuals who think they might have become ill from eating
recalled eggs should consult their health care providers.
-Keep eggs refrigerated at all times.
-Discard cracked or dirty eggs.
-Wash hands, cooking utensils, and food preparation surfaces with
soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
-Eggs should be cooked until both the white and the yolk are firm and
eaten promptly after cooking.
-Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
-Refrigerate unused or leftover egg-containing foods promptly.
-Avoid eating raw eggs.
-Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or undercooked, unpasteurized
eggs. Restaurants should use pasteurized eggs in any recipe (such as
Hollandaise sauce or Caesar salad dressing) that calls for raw eggs.
-Consumption of raw or undercooked eggs should be avoided, especially
by young children, elderly persons, and persons with weakened immune
systems or debilitating illness.
