From ANIMAL PEOPLE, June 2001:

PUNE, HYDERABAD, CHENNAI– The interfacing politics of snakebite treatment, rabies vaccination, and laboratory animal care in India heated up with the approach of the summer monsoons. In Pune the Haffkine Institute disclosed that it had resumed production of snakebite antivenin on May 30, despite lack of authorization from the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals, which closed the facility on March 26.

Coke reneges on rodeo

Coca-Cola has decided to renege on its promise to abandon rodeos. I have had quiet discussions with them on this issue since their signed promise last November. All along, the idea was that Coke would take some time to persuade resistant bottlers to leave the rodeo arenas, and to keep peace in the corporate family. Now, apparently facing more resistance than anticipated, Coke has gone back on its word. This of course means that SHARK is going right to a campaign. We aim to make what we did to Pepsi support of bullrings look like a walk through the park.

Excerpts from keynote address

Excerpts from keynote address to the Asia for Animals conference,
May 14, 2001, in Manila, the Philippines, by Senator Orlando S. Mercado, Ph.D.
Today is Election Day in the Philippines. We have been through a frenzy of political activity in the past three months, culminating in the casting of ballots by more than 31 million Filipinos. It has not been easy. In politics there are many opportunities to lose faith and be disillusioned. This is why the conventional wisdom in Washington D.C. is, “If you want a friend, get a dog”.

Companion animals and raising animal welfare consciousness in Southeast Asia

Companion animals and raising animal welfare consciousness in Southeast Asia
by Sherry Grant, cofounder, Bali Street Dogs Foundation

Westerners are often appalled by the plight of animals in Asia and the other less developed parts of the world. It is unimaginable to most of us, for example, how orangutans, Sumatran bears, tigers, many bird species, sharks, tapirs, and sea turtles have been poached to the verge of extinction for meat and body parts, and the disregard for animal suffering evident in any marketplace is an even more immediate shock. Police and public officials often benefit from the illegal traffic and the cruelty, and are thus less then enthusiastic about enforcing whatever laws exist.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, June 2001:

The May 2001 article “Cats & dogs in Israel,” summarized two ongoing Israeli court cases involving feral cat rescue. It drew more response than any other single item ever published in ANIMAL PEOPLE. This is a representative selection. Please note the often directly conflicting claims and perspectives of the letter-writers.

state and federal law enforcement agencies and numerous state
regulatory boards.

BOOKS: The Dogs of Bale, Ethiopia

The dogs of Bale, Ethiopia
by Efrem Legesse, with Zegeye Kibret
Bale Mountains National Park, P.O. Box 107, Bale Goba, Ethiopia

Bale Mountains National Park in Ethiopia, where I now work,
is a majestic landscape of unique flora and animals, home of the
last viable population of highly endangered Ethiopian wolves.
I was born and raised, in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian
capital. It was not as big then. I lived in a wooded district. A
company made trophy mounts of wild animals and birds nearby. My
older friends hunted birds for sale to this company. I learned to do
the same.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, May 2001:

WASHINGTON D.C.–American Petroleum Institute chief
toxicologist Lorraine Twerdok doesn’t like to do animal testing, she
told ANIMAL PEOPLE on April 12. Twerdok said the Petroleum HPV
Testing Group headed by the American Petroleum Institute would do
animal testing to the extent required to satisfy concerns about
public health and safety, but stipulated that using animals was
never their first choice of methods if another approach could be used.
