Supporting Chicken Free Range

If you are not a vegetarian or you know somebody who isn't, than you should advise him to buy only free range chicken. These chickens have lived a happy life and haven't suffered. That is why, everyone should support chicken free range. By eating only free ranged chicken, you determine farmers to raise the chickens by using this humane method, thus you are helping chickens and other farm animals have a nice and long life. This is a very good way to determine farmers to stop imprisoning animals and to offer them freedom.

Free range is becoming more and more popular as it is a very good alternative to imprisoning animals and raising them just for their meat, skin or fur. There are also many laws that oblige farmers to offer animals some minimum conditions for the free range method. This laws specify that chicken must have daytime access to open-air units and that they can not be contained in any mather.

Petitions are the simplest and easiest way to make you intentions known. Also, people tend to support projects who require them to sign a petition as, with the help of a written request, they find out more about organizations and projects that fight in order to keep the planet clean, reduce pollution or save the environment.

The Profile of PETA

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organization was first founded in March 1980. It's founders, Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco, came up with the idea of creation an organization that would fight for animal rights. The believe that animals should not be used as test subjects to various experiments and that they should not be killed in order to be eaten. The organization became well known in 1981 due to the Silver Spring monkeys case. The Institute of Behavioral Research from Silver Spring was using 17 macaque monkeys as test subjects to various experiments. Alex Pacheco visited the laboratory without anyone knowing, and took pictures of the captive monkeys and the conditions that they were living in. The evidence was then given to the police, who raided the lab and arrested the scientists. The case lasted for almost ten years making PETA a well known organization not only in the US, but all over the world. Many people decided to support this organization thus, by February 1991, PETA claimed over 350,000 members making it one of the largest organizations of it's kind.

Nowadays, the people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is fighting for the rights of animals, supporting vegetarian options and animal friendly clothing.

Direct action

The Animal Liberation Front takes direct action when it comes to saving animals that are being held captive in cages or are being mistreated. The activists consider that animals should be free, such as humans. They should have right, just as humans, and should not live in cages. The ALF doesn’t fight for a more humane treatment of the animals, but for total freedom. Bigger cages aren’t the answer as their aim is empty cages. All animals have the right to live and to be free. In order to achieve their goal , the activists sometime resort to illegal actions, although they reject physical violence. Often, after saving animals from laboratories or farms where they are being kept captive, they destroy these places. They claim that, saving animals from a laboratory only means that they will be replaced with other animals. That is why extreme measurements must be taken as destroying laboratories means slowing down the process or even stopping it.

History

In 1963, as a protest to deers being killed by hunters, the Hunt Saboteurs Association was created in order to prevent hunters from catching deers. In 1972 a similar organization was formed. The sole difference is that this new organization would take a more direct approach, cutting the tires of the hunter’s vehicles and preventing the hunt from ever happening. In 1976 Ronnie Lee eventually formed the ALF n order to free animals and prevent them from being killed.

Current projects

WWF is working tireless in order to keep out planet the way it is. There are a lot of species of animals who are becoming rapidly extinct. That is why the World Wide Fund for Nature is trying to conserve 35 of the world's most important ecoregions, such as the Amazon forest or the Coral Triangle, and is desperately trying to restore the population of almost 40 endangered species. These species, such as the elephants, wales, dolphins or the tunas, play a very important role in their ecosystem. Also these animals are loved by people worldwide and many would suffer from their extinction. WWF is also working on projects that could reduce the unnecessary use of natural resources trying to prevent or at least reduce pollution and keep the Earth a clean place for generations to come.

The history of the organization

The organization was founded on April 29, 1961 in Switzerland. The founders (Max Nicholson, Peter Scott, Julian Huxley, Guy Mountfort and Godfrey A. Rockefeller) came up with the idea of creating a organization that would conserve the world's biological diversity and would fight against pollution. Since then, the organization has rapidly grown and is now helping many people trying to conserve the ecosystem.

Greenpeace all over the world

Greenpeace's area of activity spreads over more than 40 countries and their entire body is coordinated from Amsterdam. With active volunteers from 40 countries, Greenpeace's power is something that no government, corporation or business can neglect. Greenpeace is here to make sure that nothing happens to Mother Nature and that no industry giant or government will exploit nature and decimate entire populations of animals to their own benefit. Greenpeace has been protecting the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity ever since 1971. It began as a peace movement, but rapidly evolved to become one of the largest and most influential non-governmental global environment organizations in the world. Greenpeace has over 3 million members and it is the most “visible” organization of its kind. Greenpeace acts directly and has won numerous battles for nature throughout the years. The world wouldn't be the same without it!

What’s the point in killing seals?

Even so, for thousands of years, man has been destroying this world with brutal force for his own interest. The creatures of the oceans and seas served as a critical support for humanity’s survival ever since the beginning of man, but now man knows no limit. Hunters and fishermen can now venture to the far side of the world searching for their “beloved” prey. Fishermen decimate entire populations and destroy the natural balance and food chain in many regions of the water world. Because modern technology allows man to survive in some of the most harsh conditions, seal hunting is becoming an ever larger market and economy.

Hunters kill seals mainly for their fur, because their meat is not so tasty. But the view and overall perspective is horrifying. In places where tens of thousands of seals used to surface on the ice every year, now just a few scattered hundreds venture to the dangers of the surface. Seal hunting is now a very important problem, one the must be solved immediately. Seal hunting affects not only the seal population, but also the polar bar, the polar fox and the polar birds populations. Seal hunting unbalances the entire polar food chain.

Tens of thousands of dolphins are brutally killed

But even with all that, for hundreds of years, many people keep exploiting and destroying this miraculous world. Fishermen destroy the natural food chain in numerous areas, oil platforms decimate entire marine populations. But that is not it. Every year, between September and October, tens of thousands of dolphins are brutally killed and slaughtered in the seas of Japan. As part of their natural marine lifeline, dolphins get close to the shoreline. That is when fishermen enclose them in nets, use tools to disorient their sonar and hurt some dolphins with spears to ensure that no dolphin will escape. Unlike us humans, dolphins never leave a wounded dolphin behind. The scene is so tragic that it breaks anyone's heart. Dolphins are some of the most beautiful and some of the most intelligent creatures on Earth, and they are one of the few species of water mammals. These yearly slaughters must be put to an end!

This is cruelty.

Even so, man destroys their habits and kills them by the thousands. Especially marine birds. Marine birds are the ones most severely influenced by man’ s negligence. Marine birds die by the hundreds every week because of oil. Oil soaked birds are becoming an ever more common problem now, because of the worldwide severe oil crisis. Mankind’s need for oil is what makes a lot of birds die. When large oil ships, oil platforms or even oil water pipes have leaks, large stains of oil contaminate the water’s surface.

Marine birds are predator birds which feed with ocean or sea fish, but they often dive right through those thick floating oil stains and it an attempt to clean their feathers, they get poisoned by the oil. Oil soaked birds are sadly a very common phenomena in waters near large oil platforms, but the saddest part is that only 1% of oil soaked birds ever make it through. Oil soaked birds often die in a lot of pain, from kidney and liver damage.
