Vendors say there’s nothing wrong with the way they handle the birds, but animal advocates think otherwise.The live birds are stuffed into crates for transport and when a person makes a purchase, they take their bird home in a plastic bag. At home, the birds are killed and cooked.Despite numerous animal cruelty complaints, no charges have been filed. California exempts poultry from animal cruelty laws but that doesn’t mean birds should be mistreated.The Heart of the City Farmers’ Market is the only market in the city to allow live birds to be purchased.Urge the market to stop allowing vendors to sell live birds.

<\/p>\n

On January 24th, the emaciated bodies of three chained dogs were discovered, huddled together inside a doghouse. The pit bulls had been starved to death by their guardian Jimmy Lee Spears Jr. Three felony warrants were issued for Spears. This is the first case of Susie’s Law to be tried in NC County. Prior to the enactment of Susie’s Law, such acts of animal cruelty were considered misdemeanours. The Law, named after Susie (see petition picture), a dog who survived being tortured and burned, means that the case can be tried as a Class H Felony, which is punishable by jail time. Spears will appear in court in March. Please ask the DA to prosecute Jimmy Lee Spears Jr. to the fullest extent of the law.

Following the release of a damning USDA report on Michael Vick’s dogfighting activities\u2014and an ominous silence from Vick’s camp when we brought it to their attention\u2014 PETA has sent a letter to the NFL calling for the league to require that Vick undergo a new brain-scanning procedure already in use at a New Mexico corrections facility that can test for psychopathy (anti-social personality disorder) before he is allowed to be a children’s hero again. Some of the most disturbing parts of the USDA report are: -Vick enjoyed placing family pets in the ring with fighting pit bulls -Vick lied both to the NFL and again during his lie-detector test Vick’s behavior seems to fit the American Psychiatric Association profile for anti-social personality disorder (APD). People with APD are commonly referred to as “psychopaths”. They are usually male, often charming, prone to lying and manipulation, and incapable of genuine remorse.They can also take pleasure in inflicting cruelty. Before the NFL even considers the possibility of allowing Vick back into the League, where he will be in a position to influence many fans, including countless children, PETA wants the League to require him to undergo a brain scan, coupled with a structured, standardized test (e.g, the Psychopathy Checklist, approved by the American Psychiatric Association). If Vick emerges from these examinations without evidence of psychopathy, this may mean that he has the capacity to express true remorse. If he is a psychopath, the chances of recidivism are great and remorse is virtually impossible. Please add your voice to this urgent request now.Take Action on This Issue.
