EU TAKES LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ANIMAL SUFFERING IN SPANISH ZOOS 07/03/2009

Eurogroup is pleased that after years of complaints by animal welfare NGOs, the European Commission is finally referring Spain to the European Court of Justice for not respecting the EU rules on the protection of animals in zoos. The EU Directive adopted in 1999 requires that from April 2005 all zoos had to be inspected and licenced to ensure that the animals are housed in suitable conditions and that the zoos contribute to conservation and education purposes. Eurogroup Spanish member ANDA investigations' revealed the sad faith of animals kept in many of the 120 zoos and already resulted in the closure of 12 parks. Eurogroup additionally filed a complaint against Portugal and is also concerned about the situation for zoo animals in other member states.

Quote of the Week

Older pets may fit perfectly into your life: Less destructive/ more graceful/ already house-broken/may have been neutered/ are just as loving as young animals/lots of love to give and the admirable qualities that come with maturity. Millions of them have to be euthanized at shelters because most people prefer the 'cute' puppies and kittens!

Book of the Month - Behind the Dolphin Smily by Richard O'BarryBehind the Dolphin Smile by Richard O'Barry
This is a true story that will move not only animal lovers but everyone who loves a well-told tale. Ric O'Barry had everything - money, flash cars, pretty women - but it wasn't enough to keep his conscience at bay. He began to understand that dolphins were easy to train because of their great intelligence, not his great talent, and keeping them in captivity was cruel and morally wrong. While research and entertaniment are important to human life, they are not worth the cost to these beautiful and gentle mammals.
