“For the past three days an ‘Environment Films’ crew has been working under cover with The Soi Dog Foundation and Thai Authorities in North East Thailand - we’ve been tracking down and following illegal dog smugglers for the documentary we’re producing about the illegal dog meat trade. ‘Shadow Trade - The Price of Loyalty’ will be finished later this year and will be sent to the leading International Television broadcasters for consideration. This photograph was taken this morning - 70 dogs in one truck, 2 had sadly died. The drivers were arrested and thanks to The Soi Dog Foundation the dogs are now in a shelter with food and water and will receive medical checks soon. The Soi Dog Foundation have over 2,000 dogs in their care - you can contribute to the food costs here:https://www.facebook.com/SoiDogPageInEnglish/app_195408993822678 More news will follow soon about our documentary, which is still being filmed and edited. Thank you very much for your support. It means a lot.”

Don’t think that just because it’s India, cows and bulls are respected.
Jallikattu is a bull taming sport played in Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations usually on Mattu Pongal day. This is one of the oldest living ancient a “so-called tradition” “sports” seen in the modern era. Although it sounds similar to the Spanish running of the bulls, it is quite different.
The Animal Welfare Board of India took the case to the Supreme Court, which is considering an outright ban on Jallikattu because of the cruelty to animals and the threat to public safety involved. Bulls often have chili pepper rubbed in their eyes, are force-fed alcohol and have their testicles pinched, all in an effort to get them crazed and frantic. Villagers throw themselves on top of the terrified animals in an effort to “tame” them and claim the prize. This is opposed by animal advocates. The AWBI comfortably forget that once the game is stopped, these bulls would end up in slaughter houses in Kerala. These groups take no measure against cow slaughter or in breeding. Also there is the risk of extinction of native cattle as the bulls brought to the function also play the role of stud bulls in their localities.
People from Tamil Nadu were very displeased hearing the voice to ban jallikattu which has been a cultural and religious festival. So a committee was formed called “Tamilar Veera Vilayathu Peravai” which was headed by Dr.P.Rajasekaran from madurai, a district which is famous for its jallikattu sport. Dr.P.Rajasekaran with the support of the Tamil Nadu government appealed against the claim of animal welfare board in supreme court .
On November 27, 2010 the supreme court in accordance with the law enacted on the regulation of event, permitted the Tamil Nadu government to allow ‘jallikattu’ for five months in a year from January 15 The State also responded stating that ‘Jallikattu’ is an “ancient”, religious and sentimental cultural game that had been conducted for more than 400 years in rural areas during Pongal in January and also for few church festivals from January to December.Please sign the following petitions:
