How best to euthanize a horse?

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

You recently wrote these sentences that are at odds with best and standard practices in the horse industry:  “But horses are rarely killed by pentobarbital,  since the required dose would be about 100 times the average dose for a dog and several hundred times the average dose for a cat.  Rather,  when horses are euthanized […]

Fish Feel founded to promote recognition that fish suffer

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

            Your discussion of the 2010 Guardian article “Peter Singer speaks against cruelty to fish” (http://www.animals24-7.org/2013/11/22/peter-singer-s…ruelty-to-fish/ ‎) was much appreciated.  Fish are sentient individuals,  as has been scientifically shown.  Among other important qualities,  they are perceptive,  communicative,  and personable.  For example,  groupers use body gestures to invite eels to hunt with them and […]

Indonesia still has traveling dolphin shows

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

Indonesia is the last country with a traveling dolphin show.  This clearly is nothing to be proud of:  traveling dolphin shows are forbidden worldwide for good reasons. As “Doubledealing sabotages dolphin rehab & release project in Indonesia” recounts (http://www.animals24-7.org/2013/03/22/doubledealing-…t-in-indonesia/ ),  Indonesian forestry minister Zulkifli Hasan on February 5,  2013 stated on the @america live television program that […]

Sri Lankan government shelter became the disaster predicted

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

The hell at Anuradhapura has no more dogs in it.  Irate villagers wanted the dogs removed and gave us a deadline.  All 160 healthy dogs were relocated after seven Sundays of treatment for mange,  ticks,  and fleas,  with the support of the Anuradhapura Municipal Council.  The dogs were sterilized,  de-wormed,  and vaccinated against rabies. Thirty […]

New York City transition succeeding, says longtime ASPCA critic

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

Early in 2014 I was interviewed by The New York Times and the New York Post about my opinion on the ASPCA transferring humane law enforcement duties to the New York City Police Department (see “ASPCA cedes lead role in New York City humane law enforcement to police,”   http://www.animals24-7.org/2013/10/22/aspca-cedes-le…ment-to-police/  .  I told both reporters that “Sometimes […]

Rehabilitating raccoons

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

I live in northeastern Ohio,  where there is currently a ban on rehabilitating raccoons.  Babies and adults are drowned,  beaten with shovels,  and left to starve.  The Ohio Department of Natural Resources claims that this is because of the fear of spreading rabies;  the uneducated public are raising these animals so they are not killed.  […]

Elephants no longer part of Indian Republic Day parades

March 2, 2014 By Merritt Clifton

Elephants will no longer be part of India’s Republic Day parades. This welcome decision will be a shot in the arm for those who would like to see abuse of our heritage animals stopped.  The first step was when the Ministry of Environment & Forests during the tenure of Jairam Ramesh declared heritage status for the elephant. While […]
