Dear Avaazers,
Brave
activists installed secret cameras in slaughterhouses and
filmed animals being hacked, dismembered and decapitated
all while alive and conscious! Scientists have
proved that many animals have the same emotions and awareness
as toddlers. It's time to stop torturing them in this
sickening way.
Thankfully, the secret footage forced
governments in France and Israel to require 24 hour slaughter
surveillance -- and we can take this genius strategy global.
If each of us chips in now, Avaaz'll buy the cameras, fund
undercover journalists to get footage, and then run massive
exposé campaigns in the media to force governments to make
this violence illegal and protect animals everywhere.
Chip in to use film to stop the sick slaughter:
Seeing
the fear and pain in the eyes of a cow as she is pushed to
brutal torture and death is beyond heartbreaking. And to not
even take the extra few seconds to sedate and numb her
beforehand, just to make a tiny bit more money and kill more
animals faster, is inhumane and must be stopped.
In
France activists put cameras in a slaughterhouse that claimed
to be "animal friendly," and showed animals weren't even being
stunned before they were killed.
The videos were so
shocking, they inspired a national campaign that won a ruling
requiring cameras in the places animals are raised and
killed for meat, that have to be reviewed by animal welfare
experts!
Whether we eat meat or not, this kind of law
stops unnecessary violence AND makes sure our food comes from
safe (and sane) farms and factories.
If we put this
plan in action fast, it's possible to pass this same law for
the whole European Union, then bring protections to
animals in the US and Canada and across the world. We can move
on this now with just a few cameras and with the help of our
journalist and animal rights partners,
if each of us just
donates a small amount today!
Every
time we win a new recognition for the humanity of animals, we
come closer to a world where the harmony between humanity and
nature is restored. Our campaigning together has already saved
massive corridors for elephants and orangutans, seriously cut
back whale hunting, and marked the beginning of the end for a
brutal dog slaughter. This is our chance to legally end the
intolerable suffering of the animals most exploited by humans.
With hope and respect for everyone in this amazing
movement,
Emma, Alice, Nataliya, Danny, Luca, and the whole
Avaaz team
