I sent this message today to the 4 representatives that we have in this location of Brooklyn.
My hope is in these 4 legal representatives, in the people who handle directly with these animals, in the people that still eat meat, specially knowing the circumstances that these animals are raised in and most of it in God.
To: President Bush, Senator Rodham Clinton, Senator Schumer and Representative Velazquez.
Subject: Farm Animal Stewardship Purchasing Act (H.R. 1726)

Message:

I believe that you should become a leader in animal welfare by requiring producers who want to supply products for federal agencies to meet animal welfare standards in this bill (room for farm animals to move around and adequate food, water, and veterinary care).
Also, by not permitting that the people who handle these animals abuse them by causing terrible pain when they attempt to to stand up and walk to their deaths.

I would like you, as my Representative, to represent me by co-sponsoring the Farm Animal Stewardship Purchasing Act.
Thank you.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS...


Hi,
I'm posting this ad in order to get people together that want to work for dogs that are neglected in different places when people use them as guard dogs. Animals are used and abused in so many different ways, and this is one type. Guard dogs are abandoned in brutal conditions in warehouses, garages, etc. to supposedly "protect" the place. They are isolated in chains during the day, with no vet care, not enough shelter against temperature conditions, sometimes without food and even water.
To help these dogs please e-mail or call me 415.306.2714.
I'm organizing trips to these places around the neighborhood to investigate each case and report it to authorities to STOP and prevent any abuse.
Dilia.

LETTER: President American Veterinary Medical Association

November 24, 20007

Mr. GREGORY S. HAMMER, DVM
President of the American Veterinary Medical Association
2007-2008

Dear, Mr. Hammer: 

With all due respect:



If the ethical veterinary standards states that: 
“Veterinarians should first consider the needs of the patient: to relieve disease, suffering, or disability while minimizing pain or fear.” And if you are a caring person for all animals including humans, I wonder why you don’t do anything that is in your power to stop so much animal suffering. 
The confinement that humans have put the animals into before slaughtering and consuming them, violate all the moral standards that veterinarians should consider as a priority in life. 
Being a veterinarian is an admirable duty because they are dedicated to providing the best conditions to animals, as a medical doctor provides care to humans. But what is wrong with this practice, when the reality reveals another situation? Is it because the non – human animals can’t sue the veterinarians for their mal practice or for their unhealthy medical prescriptions? Or, is it because animals simply do not deserve any moral consideration from humans because they are less than humans, because they can’t reciprocate actions as humans do? 
You know perfectly well that ALL animals suffer and that they avoid pain and look for pleasure. You know that ALL animals are part of an ecosystem that needs to be preserved in order for the humans to survive. You have seen so many things through your career and through your personal life that need to be preserved in the present for a better future. And you know that a big part of this is the animals. 
You are in a position to consider the animals morally more than most of the people and to make real positive changes in their lives, as well as in ours. You are privileged when it comes to making real changes to improve the lives of ALL animals. Please do anything that is in your power to STOP so much animal suffering and continue changing the way that animals are raised and slaughtered in factory farms. Animals need humans to speak for them in order to be preserved. 



Thank you so much for your time and consideration, 

Dilia Foreman.


Si los standars éticos veterinarios dictaminan: " Los veterinarios deberían considerar primero las necesidades del paciente: aliviar la enfermedad, sufrimiento, o disabilidad meintras se minimiza el dolor y el miedo". Y si Ud. es una persona que le propcupan los animals inluyendo los humanos, me pregunto porqué no hace todo lo que esté a su alcance para PARAR tanto sufrimiento animal. El confinamiento que los humanos han impuesto a los animals antes de matarlos y consumirlos viola todos los standars morales que los veterinarios deberían considerar como prioridad en la vida.
Ser un veterinario es una tarea admirable porque se dedica a proveer las mejores condiciones a los animales, así como los médicos lo hacen con los humanos. ¿Pero qué pasa con esta práctica, cuando la realidad revela otra situación? ¿Será porque los no – humanos no pueden demandar a los veterinarios por su mala praxis o por las medicamentos dañinos que les prescriben? ¿O, es porque los animales simplemente no merecen ninguna consideración moral debido a que no pueden reciprocar las acciones al mismo nivel que los humanos lo hacen?
Ud. sabe perfectamente que TODOS los animales sufren, que rechazan el dolor y buscan el placer. Ud. sabe que TODOS los animales son parte de un ecosistema que necesita ser preservado para que los humanos sobrevivan. Ud. ha visto tantas cosas durante su carrera y durante su vida personal que necesitan ser preservadas en el presente por un mejor futuro. Y Ud. sabe que una gran parte de esas cosas que necesitan ser preservada son los animales.
Ud. está en una posición que puede considerar a los animales moralmente y lograr cambios significativos, más que la mayoría del resto de las personas. Ud. es privilegiado cuando nos referimos a hacer cambios reales en los animales para mejorar su calidad de vida.
Por favor haga todo lo posible para PARAR tanto sufrimiento animal y continúe cambiando la manera como los animales son críados y matados en las granjas industriales, de manera de eliminar su sufrimiento.
Los animales necesitan humanos que hablen por ellos para ser preservados.
