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.

FOR CONGO'S LIFE
The following letter is the one I sent to Governor Cozine to protect Congo's life. A case that has been in the New Jersey's news.
Dear Governor Corzine:
I'm very concerned about the case of the German Shepard, Congo.
When we review Congo’s case it seems that we have given too many human characteristics to animals, we had anthropomorphised this animal so much, up to the point that we are limiting his period of life for loving and defending his owner.
We teach animals to behave the way we want according to some rules, so when we humans expect something different from them we automatically punish them for our inconsistency, for not being faithful to our rules. Dogs give unconditional love, care and protection to humans, and that’s what Congo did, nothing different. The dog was protecting the property because he was taught to do that. The dog was just obeying the rules when the estranger came into the house without permission from the owners.
According to the owner’s lawyer, Robert Lytle (a person who knows New Jersey’s laws well), “… the dogs had a right to protect themselves and their owner”.
Please do anything that is in your power to prevent anyone from hurting or killing this animal.
Thank you for your time, Dilia Foreman.

Peticion para REEMPLAZAR todos los Experimentos con Animales en Europa
Firma para detener experimentos en Europa
"Las atrocidades no son menos atroces cuando ocurren en laboratorios y son llamadas investigación médica."
- George Bernard Shaw (escritor de teatro, Nobel 1925)
"Lo que pienso de los experimentos con animales, es que si la gente admite que tiene el derecho de tomar o poner en peligro la vida de seres vivos para el provecho de muchos, no habrá límite para su crueldad."
- Leo Tolstoy (autor)
"No me importa saber si los experimentos con animales producen resultados provechosos para la raza humana o no... El dolor que causa a los animales sin consentimiento es la base de mi hostilidad hacia ella, y para mí es suficiente justificación para la hostilidad sin necesidad de ver más allá."
- Mark Twain (autor)
!Yo desprecio y aborrezco las disculpas de parte de esa práctica infame, la experimentación animal.. Preferiría tener la peor de las muertes, en lo referente al dolor, que torturar a muerte a un gato o perro con el pretexto de deshacerme de un dolor o dos.
- Robert Browning (poeta)
"No puede haber justificación para causar sufrimiento a los animales sólo para servir al placer del hombre o para mejorar la vida del hombre."
- El Dean de York.
"Aborrezco la experimentación animal con toda el alma. Todos los descubrimientos científicos manchados con sangre inocente son, para mí, sin consecuencia alguna."
- Mahatma Gandhi (hombre de estado y filósofo)
"Por favor tengan corazón y detengan los viejos y crueles experimentos con animales."
- Jennie Garth (actriz)
"Durante mi educación médica en la universidad de Basel encontré la disección horrible, bárbara, y sobre todo, innecesaria."
- Carl G. Jung (psicólogo)
"Después de mucha investigación, descubrimos que podíamos desarrollar productos nuevos, innovadores y seguros sin probarlos en animales."
- Kenneth Landis (Presidente de Benetton)
Mientras los hombres masacren a los animales, se matarán entre ellos. Ciertamente, aquel que siembre las semillas del dolor y el asesinato no puede cosechar gozo y amor.
- Pitágoras (filósofo y matemático)
