Horse blood – Oliver MacColl – Avaaz


It’s straight out of a horror movie: hundreds of pregnant horses hooked up to blood-draining machines, some so weak they collapse and die. This torture is driven by European pharmaceutical companies who use the blood to speed up factory farming! Ministers are meeting in 2 weeks — add your name urging the EU to end the horrific horse blood trade, then tell everyone: 

SIGN HERE

Dear friends,

It’s straight out of a horror movie: hundreds of pregnant horses hooked up to blood-draining machines, some so weak they collapse and die. But we can stop this right now.

The industrial horse torture is driven by European pharmaceutical companies who use the blood to speed up factory farming! The EU has said it’s considering action, but so far nothing has happened.

No more horses need to die! Ministers are meeting in just 2 weeks — let’s light a fire under the EU with a massive million person petition demanding they ban the abusive pregnant horse blood trade. Add your name now, then share this with everyone — let’s make our call massive!

Click to help stop the torture of pregnant horses!

Death is far from the only horror: so much blood is taken that it can lead to shock and anaemia. And because only the blood of pregnant horses is valuable, they’re often forced into repeat pregnancies and abortions. 

Demand is driven by pharmaceutical companies who sell the hormone found in pregnant horse blood to factory farmers to get pigs and other animals in “heat” on demand — another layer of abuse in this sorry story. 

If we shed a light on this horror by raising a massive global outcry now, we can help get a ban of all products made from the suffering of animals — making it difficult for companies to make big profits from this disturbing industry. Add your name then forward this to friends and family — let’s build pressure on the EU to act!

Click to help stop the torture of pregnant horses!

Horses are full of beauty, grace and majesty — it’s hard to understand how people could be so cruel. But when we come together in massive numbers to protect animals from the horrors they face every day, we can do incredible things. Let’s do it now for these horses who need us to be their voice more than ever.

With hope,

Oli, Rewan, Bert, Ari, Camille, Nataliya, Ricken and the entire Avaaz team

a message from News Man Dan Rather – We cannot be afraid to speak and act


Former News Anchor Dan Rather:

“History will demand to know which side were you on. None of us can afford to remain silent.”

Venerated former CBS Anchor Dan Rather just gave some BRILLIANT advice for living in Donald Trump’s America.

We are a great nation. We have survived deep challenges in our past. We can and will do so again. But we cannot be afraid to speak and act to ensure the future we want for our children and grandchildren. - Dan RatherMr. Rather hit the nail on the head.

The years ahead of us will be difficult. But none of us can afford to remain silent while Republicans threaten to destroy everything we have worked to build under President Obama.

We’ve got a climate change denier as head of the EPA, an Obamacare opponent at the head of the HHS, our next Attorney General has been openly hostile towards voting rights, and the Secretary of Education doesn’t believe in public schools.

And we’re barely scratching the surface of Trump’s dark and dismal vision for America.

If we’re going to have ANY chance of protecting our progress, Democrats need to be ready to speak up and fight for the things we believe in.

Every second Democrats stay silent, Donald Trump gets more powerful.

Medicare. Planned Parenthood. Obamacare. Voting rights. Clean air and water: We could lose it ALL…

…Unless we stand up and speak out.

So if you agree with Dan Rather — if you believe in what we stand for — we need to hear from you right now:
