Support Michael Herring, Richmond VA, Commonwealth Attorneys Office to Prosecute Dog Fighter

Stacey Miller of Richmond is charged with the crime of dog fighting. His case will be heard on Jan. 9 and 10, 2007. Michael, Herring, Commonwealth's Attorney of Richmond, is prosecuting the case. Let Mr. Herring know how important a conviction and heavy penalty are to you.


A note from Sylva (the petition's sponsor):

This is a window of opportunity to show support in requesting maximum sentencing allowed for this sort of human element. 45 signatures are NOT GOING TO DO IT. Please, please sign and pass this to the moon and back, I will have to fax this to Mr. Herring’s Office first thing Monday and first thing Tuesday a.m. so that at least he can relay to the presiding judge that many people are watching and looking for stiffer sentences concerning this sort of offensive and disgusting activity. If you are in the Richmond area I would highly recommend that you attend if you are able to. Banning dogs is not going to solve any problem, getting the perpetrators that fight will slow down and hopefully eliminate this at some point. I would like each and every one of you to remember the listings that are posted on dogs that have been used for bait, with missing ears, punctures all over their bodies and for those that have been so ruined by these people that they have to be killed because they are no longer adoptable. I don’t know if you remember Rufus on PBRC who had his entire face removed due to fighting, it is because of people like this man that Rufus paid with his life and countless other dogs that are killed because they won’t fight or are so damaged they must be euthanized once found by Animal Control. Dogs that are starved, made to run on treadmills for hours on end, isolated, chained, pumped full of steroids….having their teeth filed (bait dogs) so they can’t fight back and are thrown in between two others to teach them how to fight, all the puppies and kittens that are used for bait, dying in the most horrendous way.

On January 3, 2006, 18-year-old Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she reportedly admitted fatally stabbing one of three men who attempted to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park in Karaj (a suburb of Tehran) in March 2005. She was seventeen at the time. Her sentence is subject to review by the Court of Appeal, and if upheld, to confirmation by the Supreme Court.......

Ärzte ohne Grenzen tritt heute mit einer besonderen Bitte an Sie heran - wir möchten Sie für die Unterstützung unserer Petition "Menschen sind wichtiger als Patente" gewinnen:

In Indien werden kostengünstige Medikamente, so genannte Generika, produziert, die lebenswichtig für sehr viele Menschen in ärmeren Ländern sind. So stammen mehr als die Hälfte der derzeit in diesen Ländern eingesetzten HIV/Aids-Medikamente aus Indien. Nun verklagt das Pharmaunternehmen Novartis die indische Regierung. Sollte Novartis damit Erfolg haben, werden aller Voraussicht nach mehr Medikamente in Indien unter Patentschutz gestellt. Dies würde es indischen Unternehmen erschweren, die dringend benötigten Generika zu günstigen Preisen herzustellen. Der Zugang zu erschwinglichen Medikamenten für Millionen Menschen wäre gefährdet.

Es geht um sehr viel: Unterzeichnen Sie unsere Petition online, damit Novartis die Klage fallen lässt! Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.

Pressemitteilung vom 20.12.06 zur Klage Ärzte ohne Grenzen: Novartis muss Klage gegen indische Regierung zurückziehen

"Für Menschen wie mich, die mit HIV/Aids leben, würde ein Sieg von Novartis bedeuten, dass wir in die Zeiten zurückgeworfen werden, als Medikamente für uns unbezahlbar waren", sagte Loon Gangte vom Netzwerk der HIV-Infizierten in Neu Delhi. https://www.aerzte-ohne-grenzen.de/go.php?nl=2007012339


Hintergrundinformationen zur Novartis-Klage Ein Präzedenzfall, der Folgen für Millionen Menschen haben kann.

Das indische Patentamt hat einen von Novartis eingereichten Antrag zum Patentschutz eines Medikamentes abgelehnt. Daraufhin reichte Novartis Einspruch gegen die Entscheidung und zugleich eine Klage gegen diejenigen Bestimmung des indischen Patentrechts ein, auf deren Grundlage der Patentantrag abgelehnt wurde. https://www.aerzte-ohne-grenzen.de/go.php?nl=2007012336

Petition to release aged research chimps December 08, 2006 12:13 PM

US petition to release aged research chimps

Please sign the petition asking for the release of aged research chimps. Thanks!

https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/283409529

The United States is the biggest user of chimpanzees in research - an estimated 1,300. Many have been in research for decades. The oldest known is Wenka - she is 52. After nearly 50 years, it's time for her and the other elders to retire so they can spend their remaining days in peace and comfort.

You will probably have signed one of our Affirmations of Nuclear Freedom which we hope to take to the World Court in support of a request for the judges to rule on whether negotiations to abolish nuclear weapons are being carried out in good faith. You can read more about the Affirmations on https://www.abolition2000europe.org/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=4&blogId=1

It would be a great help if you could pass on news about the Affirmations to friends, family or colleagues, and the way people can sign one online you can get in touch with me if you want more information about this.

So far we have Affirmations in several languages which I list below. However, if you are a born speaker of any other language, or know someone who is, would you be able to help by providing a translation into any languages not listed? We just a need translation of the following with the line endings in the same place:

AFFIRMATION OF FREEDOM FROM NUCLEAR WEAPONS
