Asshole celebrities who wear fur.

2012-02-04T16:52:00.001+02:00

Fur is not Fashion

A list of asshole celebrities who support this barbaric industry.

Jennifer Lopez. The chick with the fat ass who can't act and appears in B grade movies such as "Anaconda" Jenny from the block. Jenny who makes Fiat ads look totally lame.
Lindsay Lohan. The drunk drug addict who pleads "no contest" to shoplifting and jewelry theft. Say no more.
Sharon Stone, the slag from 9 1/2 Weeks. The one who blamed the earthquake in China on "karma" for their treatment of Tibet. Sorry Sharon, some "Karma" is waiting for you honey.
Rihanna. Sings off key because she smokes so much. Her music video "Man Down" promotes premeditated murder. In true slut style she tries to emulate Michael Jackson, grabbing and rubbing her crotch over 20 times in her video "You da one" I think maybe fleas from the fur coats she favours are amok in her nether regions.
Kelis. The slave-driver who employed an illegal immigrant and then refused to pay the woman. Her song "Milk Shake" has no tune, the beat sux and it promotes prostitution. "I can teach you but I have to charge." Say no more.
Kim (kotch) Kardashian. This stupid tart is embroiled in allegations that her product line is manufactured in Chinese sweat shops. She also likes to star in her own cheesy home made sex tapes. To this day, no-one can honestly answer me as to why she is a celebrity. She can't act, sing, paint.... must be her ability to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

The Walrus

2012-02-02T01:28:00.000+02:00

A group of Walruses take refuge on a shrinking mass of ice. #Globalwarming

Walruses were hunted to the brink of extinction, but made a remarkable recovery. Sadly, they suffer from low genetic diversity and as a consequence have compromised immune systems and are prone to disease.

Walrus meat has been used as a source of food for government subsidized fox fur farms in Chukota, Russia for the last 50 years.

When BP executives stood in front of Congress to explain their oil spill emergency plan for the Gulf of Mexico, they mentioned protecting the Walrus was one of their top priorities. The Walrus has not called the Gulf of Mexico home for at least the last 3 million years. Talk about EPIC FAIL!!

Fur Facts

2012-01-31T00:52:00.000+02:00

Fur is NOT fashion

Ten fur facts that'll leave you FURIOUS!

More than 50 MILLION animals are farmed for fur each year. A further 15 million are trapped.

Methods of killing include neck-breaking, gassing, anal electrocution, drowning, strangulation, strychnine injections and beating to death.

The fur industry is a threat to our environment and wildlife, contributing to higher energy costs, pollution, land destruction, and reductions in populations of wild animals, including endangered and threatened species who may be accidentally trapped and killed.

Fur “farms” or “ranches” are not humane alternatives to trapping. The terms are euphemisms used by the fur industry to describe confinement facilities in which fur-bearing animals are caged and killed. Currently, there are no federal laws providing protection for the millions of animals held in these factory-like farms. Many animals in such facilities go without veterinary care.

Garment or accessory labels cannot always be relied upon to accurately identify the type of animal fur used in an item. Many items labelled as "Faux" are in actual fact made from cat fur.

Neither fur nor fur trim is a byproduct of the meat industry. Rabbit fur is often falsely identified as a byproduct of meat production. The truth is, few rabbit skins are obtained from slaughterhouses, which more often dispose of the undesirable pelts of rabbits bred to make meat. Fur comes from animals who are factory-farmed or trapped purely for fashion.

The fur trim market is an equal, if not greater, threat to animals than is the making of fur coats. Fur trim is not what’s “left over” from making full-length fur coats. Thousands of animals are killed simply to provide trimming effects for fashion. Even purchasing the tiniest bit of fur trim supports the cruel fur industry.

Seals are still being clubbed and brutally slain for their fur. The Namibian seal hunt is the world’s largest remaining commercial slaughter of marine mammal, with Canada coming in second. The Cape Fur Seals of Namibia are listed on Appendix II of CITES

Historically, the fur trade played a role in the development of the early North American economy. However tradition never justifies abuse. There are many cultural practices once seen as acceptable that are now viewed as horrific relics of a more brutal time. Female genital mutilation, Mayan child sacrifice, Chinese foot binding and Apartheid to name but a few.

Many European countries have banned or are in the process of phasing out some or all fur farming based largely on the understanding that it is impossible to raise furbearing animals in captive conditions that adequately ensure their welfare while maintaining financial viability.

New Year Celebrations?

2012-01-01T11:57:00.000+02:00

Happy New Year! Although it wasn't for this dog now was it? You see, this is what firecrackers do to animals. I don't get it. What is so great about New Year? Why must people let off rockets and crackers? Why must people get so damn drunk they spew their guts or can hardly stand? I dunno. Call me anti-social, but this shit doesn't appeal to me. I would rather spend a quiet night at home, relaxing and knowing my pets and family are safe.

Police in Italy had to confiscate over 650 000 illegal fire-works since December in a bid to curb hundreds of accidental deaths. See more here. How the hell can we stop it? Who do we have to turn to in order to demand a total ban? How pathetic are the delinquents who think getting pissed, hurling their lunch and letting off a few loud bangs is a way to celebrate? I pity them. So very immature.

Rhino Petition

2011-12-21T00:43:00.002+02:00

Earlier this year, I put together a short You-Tube clip to highlight the plight of South Africa's rhino. I was rather surprised (and mildly flattered) this evening to find the clip embedded into a strongly worded petition to the South African Government.
Rhino have seen a 3000% increase in poaching levels in the last four years. While every effort is being made to save these magnificent animals, I feel that until our courts begin imposing harsh penalties, there is no real deterrent for the people who poach them.

Sadly, although I appreciate the gesture, I do not feel that this petition will curb the carnage. Though it targets the South African government, it does nothing to reduce the demand for horn, which is coming out of the East. Poachers are well equipped, heavily armed, have a network of informants, well established distribution channels and much more. It takes less than 8 minutes to shoot a rhino from a helicopter, land, dehorn the animal and take off again.

On a slightly brighter note, 5 suspects were arrested in Hoedspruit yesterday for Rhino poaching. They were found in possession of 2 rhino horns and a rhino carcass was found in the nearby vicinity. For more on the story read here

And today, acting on a tip off, the South African police and specialist task force "The Hawks" swooped down and arrested two Chinese nationals found to be in illegal possession of elephant tusks and other horns. The bloke who called it in said he had heard the sound of grinders and had smelled burning hair. For pics and more on this, see here

Save Shark Sunday

2011-10-09T10:14:00.002+02:00

Each year, 100 MILLION sharks are massacred for their fins. More often than not, the finning takes place at sea. The fins and tail are chopped off and the trunk is thrown overboard and the animal is left to drown.

In some areas, shark populations have dropped by as much as 90%.1/3 of ALL shark species are facing extinction, many within our life time. Sharks play a critical role in maintaining the fragile balance in our worlds oceans. The fins do not add flavour to the soup, which is a type of chicken broth. Neither do they hold any nutritional value. The fins are added to provide texture.

YOU can help get shark-fin soup off the menu by signing THIS PETITION which I will personally deliver to the owners and management of Johannesburg restaurant Lai Lai Garden.

Petition the Namibian Ombudsman

2011-10-05T18:17:00.000+02:00

The beginning of September I was fortunate enough to make representation on behalf of The Seals of Nam to the Namibian Government regarding their annual seal cull.

Part of my presentation included handing over a petition with over ten thousand signatures from people supporting a boycott of Namibia and requesting the Government to immediately end the slaughter of 91 000 seals each year (the largest slaughter of wildlife on earth) This was a massive success, as it certainly got the tourism industry very worried.

The problem with the meeting was that the Ombudsman, who is to make a decision regarding the future of this barbaric practice, failed to give any clear indication as to when he will make decision. He implied that it would be before September 2012. Not good enough. This would allow for another season of slaughter and consequently another 91 000 animals brutally and savagely bludgeoned to death.

The next step is to petition the ombudsman into placing an immediate moratorium on ALL seal culling activities until such stage as he has made his decision. Clearly, the seal cull in Namibia has been shown to be not only an animal rights issue, but it also impacts on the economy. The workers involved are being exploited to such an extent that they live in makeshift shacks while an elite foreigner, Hatem Yavuz, reaps millions from his fur businesses. We have also produced Namibian legislation, such as the Animal Protection Act and The Marine Resources Act to show that the annual massacre is in contravention of Namibia's own laws. It is ILLEGAL.

YOU can help us getting this moratorium passed. Please sign the petition by clicking HERE

Is this not truly a magnificent sight?

These are Cape Fur Seals. This pic was taken at Cape Fria in Namibia. Each year, 85 000 nursing pups are bludgeoned to death for their fur and an additional 6 000 adult bulls get shot so that their penises can be used to make an ineffective aphrodisiac.

The corruption behind this slaughter is mind blowing. The SPCA in Namibia refuse to get involved, claiming that a seal (according to Namibian law) is not an animal. There is reason to believe diamonds from De Beers are being smuggled out in the corpses of these animals as 60% of the massacre takes place on a Government controlled diamond field.

For further info, check out "The Seals of Nam" While Francois Hugo of the group "Seal Alert" has been at the forefront of the battle to end the cull for many years, The Seals of Nam approach seems to be helping swing the tide. They are pushing for international boycotts and attack Namibia with a holistic and multi pronged approach, including formal requests to the International Rugby Board to drop Namibia from the Rugby World Cup .

Shark Finning in Mozambique

2011-08-16T01:25:00.003+02:00

The scenes in this clip were all shot on location in Mozambique with the use of hidden cameras. It is estimated that up to 100 million sharks are butchered for their fins each year, mostly to satisfy a Chinese market for shark fin soup. The fins do not add flavour, which is a type of chicken broth. Neither do they hold any nutritional value. The fins are added to provide texture.

1/3 of all shark species are facing extinction, many within our lifetime. Sharks play a critical role in maintaining the fragile balance in our worlds oceans. It is a slap in the face to all concerned citizens that shark fin soup be allowed to be served in public restaurants.

Namibia to face a full onslaught of international boycotts

2011-08-04T18:12:00.001+02:00

In a news article today, Bernard Esau, the Minister of Fisheries announced he plans to increase the quota for the slaughtering of seals.

Esau makes no reference to any scientific justification for the increase, neither does he propose how many jobs will be created. His proposal is a very transparent revenge attack for the pressure being heaped on Namibia over its atrocious seal massacre. Esau himself stands to gain financially from this increase as he and his wife both own shares in a business selling seal skin products.

The Seals of Nam and our international partners have concurred that for every seal set over and beyond the current quota, we will send out 1 000 emails to various parties informing them of the slaughter and encouraging them to join the international boycott. These emails will include graphic footage and will direct people to write emails to their own governments urging sanctions, trade embargoes and restrictions to be imposed on Namibia.

We maintain the seals are not responsible for a decline in Hake stocks. We are adamant that the decline is due to the Ministry of Fisheries lack of resource management and failure to curb illegal fishing in Namibian waters. The minister in question has done nothing to address the problem of employment when there are over 1000 fishing applications that are yet to be granted. Furthermore, the Namibian Government is guilty of awarding construction tenders to Chinese businesses as opposed to Namibian companies. It has been established that these Chinese construction companies also have business interests in the seal slaughter industry.

We reiterate that viable and sustainable eco-tourism will create far more jobs and increased revenue for the people of Namibia. It will lead to large scale investment and will not adversely affect the fisheries at all.

Namibia. Seal cull facts.

2011-06-30T18:31:00.000+02:00

Tomorrow the annual slaughter of thousands of seals is set to begin in Namibia. I am getting a lot of people asking me the same questions and how to respond to various counter arguments. In order for you to understand the complexities, and to put the whole thing in perspective, I have put this note together. Please feel free to use, tag and share.

The Seals are eating the fish. Their numbers need to be controlled.

What do you expect them to eat? Lettuce?

The seal population has dropped from over 2 million to less than 850 000. They are an endangered species, appearing on both Appendix II of CITES as well as on the IUCN Red List. They have a natural mortality rate of over 30% in the first few weeks of being born. 90% of their preferred habitats of small off shore islands have been wiped out in the last 60 years. They have suffered several mass die offs, the most recent being in 2006 where an estimated 350 000 seals died from starvation. This is the largest die off of any marine mammal in recorded history. Cape Fur Seals will normally breed every third year. By killing the baby at seven months, the seal cows will breed EVERY year. If the seals are eating the fish, why are they beating baby seals to death? These juveniles are still suckling from the teat and only begin to eat solids at around 12 months. Is it simply coincidence their soft pelts are more valuable??

Since independence, the Namibian government increased its annual fishing harvest from 300 000 tons to 600 000 tons without doing any sustainability studies. At the time, the colony stood at well over million, and you can ask any avid fisherman, fish were PLENTIFUL in Namibia. The annual slaughter then killed 30 000 seals. Now, the population stands at 850 000 seals, there are no fish and they slaughter 91 000. This makes no sense. They are not doing this to protect fisheries. This is a blatant case of gross mismanagement of resources based on economic greed. When SA ended our seal culling policy in 1990, our own fisheries were up in arms. But, SA fishing industry has seen nothing but positive growth.

The best way to control their numbers would be to end this slaughter immediately, give the seals the protection they deserve and allow the population to stabilise and recover.

The Slaughter provides much needed employment and is an important industry for Govt revenue.

The slaughter of seals in Namibia is not an industry. It amounts to nothing more than a small business. If a pelt retails for $7 and the govt get $2 of that, the equation is simple. US$2 x 91 000 seals = $182 000. Grannies knitting circle can do better.

When the annual quota for slaughter stood at 30 000 seals, 160 people were involved in the clubbing. The quota now stands at 91 000 and only 81 people are SEASONALLY employed for 4 months of the year. They earn less than R50/day. (Around US$8 per day) A seal pelt sells for US$7 It takes 6 pelts to make a coat. These coats sell for US$30 000.00 The money goes to a foreign Turkish businessman who sucks the money OUT of Namibia so he can live the high life in Australia. There is no profit sharing scheme in place. The workers live in tin shacks in shanties in Henties Bay. They cannot even feed their families. Drug and alcohol abuse is rife. Domestic violence is common. Beating hundreds of baby animals to death each day is an assault on their human dignity. They have no recourse to stress and trauma councelling.

A medium sized hotel, with tours to the colony, sight seeing etc can employ as many as 1000 people. All year round. Niche markets can be developed for seal guano as fertilizer, conservation initiatives developed, skills training, job creation. Models based on eco-tourism show that 80 x more revenue can be generated with subsidary industries being developed. But no; Namibia will carry on violating its own laws to get a benefit of less than $200 000 in revenue.

Your decision to boycott has back fired. Namibia has now banned media from covering the cull and a boycott is unfair to the people of Namibia.

Backfired? Don't be naive! This is an incredible VICTORY!

Boycott was NOT our first option. We began this campaign by first looking into a broad spectrum of alternatives. We approached the Namibian SPCA and asked them to intervene. To our shock and horror, it turned out they do not believe a seal is an animal and they publicly condoned the cull. We turned to the Ministry of Fisheries. In the face of no scientific evidence, the Ministry blamed the mismanagement of their own resources of the seals. Respected organizations from around the world pleaded with the government, the Ministry of Fisheries, the Directorate of Environmental Affairs and the Department of Environment and Tourism. Francois Hugo met with the Prime Minister, campaigns got no-where. Individuals wrote letters to Namibian embassies around the world. Despite an EU ban on seal products, the seals continued to be slaughtered and journalists were getting beaten up and detained on non existent laws. After exhausting all possible angles, we found we were left with no other alternative but to institute an economic boycott.
Namibia are feeling the pressure. They have responded with a media ban. This is GREAT! I am absolutely thrilled! Firstly, it shows that the boycott is having an effect. It has got the Namibian Government to react. Now we have yet ANOTHER avenue to attack them with. Not only is this an animal rights issue, where Namibia are contravening their own animal protection act, this is also a human rights issue. Namibia are violating their media laws and the freedom of speech. It does not mean the media is out of the picture. On the contrary, by the very fact that Namibia has put this blanket ban on the media, more international media will demand to know what is going on.
When South Africa was under Apartheid, we were hit with boycotts. This was done to generate media awareness and force a change in the status quo. Sadly people in South Africa were affected even though they did not support the government policy. While we regret this "collateral damage" we implore the citizens of Namibia to demand that the government change its seal culling policy with immediate effect. It is costing Namibia untold millions. It is tarnishing the reputation of a fantastic country and is crippling an already unstable economy. If change comes from within, the slaughter will be ended a lot sooner than from external pressure of foreigners.

The slaughter of seals is about maintaining balance. It is a conservation initiative.

Get real!

The removal of any apex predator from the food chain goes against all scietifically proven and internationally accepted conservation practices. The fact that hundreds of thousands of these animals are bludgeoned to death, even though they are endangered, is nothing short of foolish, iniquitous, barbaric and savage. CITES does allow for a sustainable harvest. The conditions to this are that the harvest falls under the juristiction of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. This is not a sustainable harvest. It is a commercial harvest, as the slaughter falls under the Department of Fisheries. Here AGAIN, Namibia are contravening their own laws. The juristiction of the Department of Fisheries is the off-shore islands, the sea, the sea bed up to the high water mark. Slaughter takes place on a reserve, 150 meters ABOVE the high water mark

Have you ever been to see the colony or witnessed the slaughter?

No. By the same token, one does not need to have survived Auschwitz in order to know German Nazi concentration camps were horrific, despicable and vile.

Your argument is flawed. It is based on emotional reasoning, not scientific fact.

The only people who have no scientific fact are the Namibian Government. Not a single publication of theirs in support of the slaughter has been acceptably peer reviewed using independent sources.

Formal request to IRB to drop Namibia from Rugby World Cup

2011-05-16T00:36:00.002+02:00

Each year, 85 000 nursing seal pups are beaten to death in Namibia. We are asking the International Rugby Board to drop Namibia from the World Cup (to be played in New Zealand later this year.) Here is a sample letter to the IRB, followed by the contact details for the various rugby unions involved. Please do contact them.

To whom it may concern.

As you are probably aware, the International Rugby Board was recently forced to intervene and take charge of the Namibian Rugby Union amongst allegations of corruption and mismanagement.

I now wish to draw your attention to an international boycott of Namibian sport, produce and tourism based on the country's annual massacre of endangered Cape Fur Seals. Each year, 91 000 of these animals (which appear on Appendix 2 of CITES) are savagely beaten to death on the beaches of Namibia.

News of the boycott is being rapidly spread by conservation organizations, media houses, animal rights groups and concerned citizens around the world. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are littered with references pertaining to the savagery of the hunt. The boycott also has the full backing of a number of South African celebrities, including Miss South Africa.

Namibia will be playing three pool matches in New Zealand and Australia. Namibian fixtures and venues are as follows:

Namibia vs Wales 26th September 2011 Yarrow Stadium

Namibia vs South Africa 22nd September 2011 North Harbour Stadium

Namibia vs Fiji 10th September 2011 Rotorua International Stadium.

In light of the above, and considering all the negative publicity generated from this slaughter, we are making a formal request to the IRB to drop all Namibian fixtures from the World Cup. We are also appealing to the teams from South Africa, Wales and Fiji to show solidarity in this regard and publicly denounce the annual slaughter.

For further information and to find out who else the campaign organizers are targeting, you are referred to the following website https://sites.google.com/site/thesealsofnam/get-involved/the-boycott

Your assistance and cooperation in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
