UPC Spring 1997 Poultry Press November 10, 1996 Brandywine Farms Hemet, California by Cherylynn Brown Tbe ostriches were going to the San Diego Airport for transportation to Brussels, Belgium that day. Tbe average value per bird was $875. As we drove down the dirt road we passed a double decker cattle truck packed with ostriches. Tbeir heads extended a couple offeet out of the top ofthe truck. All mouths were open and their eyes looked wild and fearful. ... , Chip has to finish loading the rest of the birds going to the airport, a total of 165 birds. One large trailer is filled with ostriches. I take photos and count 17 birds in the back compartment, about 8 X 12 square feet. Several birds jump into each other and try to run through the wall while crying a high-pitched scream. Handling the Ostriches for Transportation I take pictures of the following scenes: 1) Birds standing with black cloth wrapped around their faces. 2) A person holds a metal hook on an 8 to 10-foot pole while another helps him corner the ostriches. Together they work to put black cloth tubes over the ostriches' heads. Even with the tubes blinding them the birds try to walk or run. 3) One bird has a broken wing. She is being sold for less. 4) As the ostriches are being forced toward the truck, they jump and try to run, swinging the farm workers around. The workers hold onto their tail feathers, ripping them out by the handful. They grab them at the face by the beak. They wrestle the birds into a hold by the neck, then force them to the gate, then into a pathway leading to the truck. 5) I see ostriches fighting Chip and his helpers as they push them onto the tnick. One ostrich, whom Chip calls "Schizy," drops her mask and struggles away from the handlers. 6) Chip is angry at her as she sits down refusing to get up and enter the truck. He kicks her several times in the thigh with the toe of his boot. She cries but does not try United Poultry Concerns to stand or run. Chips looks over at me and sees I see him kicking her. He attempts to P.O. Box 59367 cover his action by saying she fell on his foot and hurt it. 7) He stands back and tells her, "You can get up now." She sits there. He grabs her Potomac, MD 20859 wing and tries to lift her. She refuses. Ruben comes over and kicks her in the butt a few (301) 948-2406 times. She cries but stays sitting. They pull her on her wings and neck, but she will not move. www.envirolink.org/arrs/upc continued on page 8 from Karen Davis) President United Poultry Concerns Must Find a New Bame Our rented house - the home of United Poultry Concerns, including our chicken sanctuary - is on a piece of land that will soon be for sale. This wooded agricultur­ al area is being turned into an upscale residential area. We are going to have to move! I must find a permanent home for United Poultry Concerns - a place where I can live, work, and main­ tain our chicken sanctuary. We need between 3 and 10 acres of land including a house with office space and preferably an existing chicken house. It must be located in a quiet area that's legally zoned to allow the keeping of poultry including crowing roosters - an area not targeted for development but within the range of business services, office supplies, equipment, and other necessities of life and work. We seek to remain within 75 miles of Washington, DC. Several possibilities have already turned up - if we can raise the money! Thanks to the generous response of our members to our recent fundraiser, we now have close to $10,000.00. However, we must raise at least $50,000.00 as quickly as possible. Please help us. Your most generous gift of funds, des­ ignated property or both will ensure that United Poultry Concerns has a permanent future, now and into the next century. • ••••••••••••••••••••••• photo by Linda Spillers - courtesy of Gazette Newspapers YES!

I 2005 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION The Gathering Momentum…………………………………………………………………. 1 David Favre ARTICLES & ESSAYS Non-Economic Damages: Where does it get us and how do we get there? ……………….. 7 Sonia Waisman A new movement in tort law seeks to provide money damages to persons losing a companion animal. These non-compensatory damages are highly controversial, and spark a debate as to whether such awards are the best thing for the animals—or for the lawyers. Would a change in the property status of companion animals better solve this important and emotional legal question? Invented Cages: The Plight of Wild Animals in Captivity ………………………………... 23 Anuj Shah & Alyce Miller The rate of private possession of wild animals in the United States has escalated in recent years. Laws at the federal, state, and local levels remain woefully inadequate to the task of addressing the treatment and welfare of the animals themselves and many animals “slip through the cracks,” resulting in abuse, neglect, and often death. This article explores numerous facets of problems inherent in the private possession of exotic animals. The Recent Development of Portugese Law in the Field of Animal Rights ………………. 61 Professor Fernando Arajúo Portugal has had a long and bloody tradition of violence against animals, not the least of which includes Spanish-style bullfighting that has shown itself to be quite resistant to legal, cultural, and social reforms that would respect the right of animals to be free from suffering.

  • Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States
    UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 07 May 2008 UNIVERSAL ADVERSARY DYNAMIC THREAT ASSESSMENT Ecoterrorism: Environmental and Animal-Rights Militants in the United States EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The term ecological terrorists,1 or ecoterrorists, refers to those individuals who independently and/or in concert with others engage in acts of violence and employ tactics commonly associated with terrorism to further their sociopolitical agenda aimed at animal and/or environmental protection. The ecoterrorist movement is a highly decentralized transnational network bound and driven by common ideological constructs that provide philosophical and moral justification for acts of violence against what it perceives to be the destructive encroachment of modern society on the planet’s habitat and its living organisms.2 The ecoterrorist movement represents the fringe element of the broader ecological and animal- rights community that argues that the traditional methods of conserving and preserving the Earth are insufficient, and is willing to use violence as the principal method of the planet’s defense against anyone “guilty” of exploiting and destroying the Earth. (U//FOUO) The overall strength of the movement is impossible to determine given that individuals who take part in ecoterrorist activities generally lack a common profile and exercise a high level of operational security. Nonetheless, ecoterrorists are known to have a global presence and are particularly active in the industrialized West (North America and Western Europe). In the continental United States (CONUS), militant ecological and animal-rights activists are geographically dispersed and operate in both urban and rural settings. The movement has demonstrated a great deal of tactical and strategic sophistication.
