Please try to attend the next Asia for Animals Conference which will be in Bali in July 2008. The same website will be used as for the January 2007 conference in Chennai:
I believe I also heard on PM that a stack of Chinese drugs had been shown to be useless, despite alleged scientific backing (under this bloke's administration) - hence the "powdered Rhinocerus horn" instead of viagrahttp://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/10/1975052.htm
China's former food and drug chief executed
The former head of China's food and drug safety watchdog has been executed.
Zheng Xiaoyu, the head of the State Food and Drug Administration for seven years, was executed today.
He was at the centre of a series of tainted food and drug scandals which saw 100 people die in Panama after taking faulty Chinese drugs. The United States recently banned Chinese animal feed and elsewhere Chinese toothpaste had contained toxic ingredients.
Zheng was found guilty of taking bribes to approve substandard food and medicines. His execution is the most high profile act by the Government, as part of its crackdown on food and drug safety standards in Chinese goods.
they talk of soft "horse whispers" and communication grand
they talk of language crisper than an oboe in a band
but anyone can whisper to a dog !!

I shun the man who forces dogs to wimper to their end
the other dogs look on in fear, and what to make of this??
that man, their friend , should carry on, compassion so amiss
so much for wagging tail of yore, now wrapped between their legs
they cower in some corner - like tomorrow's "ham and eggs"
I love my dog, I can't explain the bond there in her eyes
She lives for simple words of mine she treasures like a prize
to kill her for some barbeque? - twould be worse than anzac tears
the ones they shed as their horses bled with a bullet between their ears
with the battle won
with the warring done
with the mount that had carried them one by one
through the flack and the flame
and the fire and the fame
to be told that their visa was swapped for a gun
no return with their boss to the silver fern
no return ? what? no paddocks for which they yearn
no return ? what? a slug to their head in return ?
no return to the land of the southern sun ?
not even as ash in a urn?!?!?
...a sad moment for the men who had to kill their horses because quarantine and expense prevented them from coming back to Aus.
REMEMBER THE HORSES TOO Kym Eitel
.......
The horses saw the desperate times, when death was all around.
They galloped through the screaming injured, thrashing on the ground.
They were shot at, strafed by German planes, felt shrapnel each grenade.
The wounded, frightened horses fell, as Turk machine guns sprayed.
..............
So many stories have been told – heroic acts of horses
who double-backed the injured men and dashed through Turkish forces (*6).
And when the war was finished, all the troopers clapped and cheered,
but what about the horses, that they loved and so revered?
Their horse was friend and comrade, through the thick of war and thin.
The Aussie politicians wouldn’t let them come back in.
They said, “Because of quarantine, and massive costs involved,
you’ll have to leave your mounts behind.” The troopers’ cheers dissolved.
The war was done. The men could leave that nightmare combat zone,
but first, they had to take the lives, of those who’d saved their own!
The younger mounts were volunteered to India’s command.
Those over four, were shot and left, to perish in the sand.
........
The horses’ frightened screaming rose above the gunshot rattle,
and left the men with lifelong scars, of killing after battle.
A thankless way to thank each horse for service in the sand,
and fearless dedication shown to save our precious land.
One hundred and eighty thousand horses, gave their blood and lives(*7),
to help return our troopers to their children and their wives.
They gave their all, and still found more, brave gallantry to give.
They’d never see green fields again, or come back home to live.........

Draft Horse - Michigan Great Lakes International - MSU 2006This team was 'hot to trot', as you can see by the Percheron (black horse) stomping while waiting to pull...this team never did sync up their initial 'hit' on the sled, though.
Keep in mind, these horses are pulling roughly twice their combined body weight. I believe at this point the sled weight was ~6800 lbs. Most of the teams competing had a combined weight of ~2500 to ~3000 lbs
Here is a small "documentary" video featuring footage from hunting in Africa.
It contain scenes from:
Modern Western Hunters
Jeep-Rope Hunters
African Tribal Spear Hunters
And some footage from the Muslim genocide in Tanzania.
Doesnt look appealing but unfortunately most africans dont have the luxury of a butcher. Thats how it was done in the olden days
That Rhino was copping it but thats life i spose. A rifle is much more adequate if used by the right person.
Ageo, you could be right for a couple - not sure about the elephant(s) though. "Modern Western Hunters" and "Jeep-Rope Hunters" look like they're on a spree to me - but who nose.
(then of course the mass genocidal graves)
one incredibly tough continent (and in need of our help bigtime).
If I have ten lives, Buddha, I'll come back as an Aussie each and every time please .
PS here's one of the elephants pulling a spear out of his back with his trunk.

all i can say is WHAT THEI saw this a few days back - only after I'd checked with a couple of Indian mates and they assured me the cobra had been defanged (plus staged performance , plus jovial discussion etc) was I ready to post it. sheesh - talk about alarming
Most Incredible video! A Baby V/s a Cobra!
The world's tallest man, Bao Xishun today shook hands with He Pingping who claims to be Earth's shortest.
While Mr Xishun, 56, towers above everyone at an astonishing 7.9ft, 19-year-old Mr Pingping is a mere 2.4ft high.
