31. Ban McDonalds 
Mcdonalds underpay their workers and they destroy rainforests in poor countries. The people that look after the animals and grounds are underpaid and over worked.
Animals are killed inhumanely to produce burgers etc and transported in cruel ways. They are not treated with respect and neither are the workers. The food contains more fat than you should eat in a week although they do not tell you.
32. Ban Cosmetic Testing on Animals
Testing cosmetics on animals for the benefit of humans is cruel and inhumane. There is no excuse for putting beauty products such as foot scrub into an animals' eye to watch them squirm in agony of the burning chemicals.
It is also wrong to smear liquid make-up onto a cat's shiney coat and wait for it to cake on, just to see if it will be an all-day wear make-up.
I don't think you would like to spend your entire day locked in a cage, then taken out to have chemicals in or on you, and then left in your cage to suffer in pain. I am here to petition against the testing of human-used products on animals.
I hope you agree with what I have to say on this matter and sign this petition.
Cat declawing is an unhumane way to pander to human's materialistic needs. To do this the animal must undergo a painful surgery in which the tip of it's toe is cut off. To humans, this is similar to the end joint of their finger being cut off. After the surgery the cat suffers from pain and emotional problems. Some cats undergo a completely different personality due to the trauma of the surgery,
34. Ban Legal Animal Abuse In Spain
Animal abuse in Spain has gone back years. Bulls are shameless slaughtered for sport, goats are dangled headfirst out of second-story windows, geese are tortured until their heads come off, and donkeys are tied to the back of vehicles until there strength is out, at which point they are dragged along the streets. All for sport. This cruel for of animal abuse is completely legal and attended like a sporting event for the people of Spain.
In short, it is not fun, it is not sport, it is gruesome slaughtering of innocent animals. Please help to put a stop to this.
35. STOP Proctor & Gamble's Cruel Animal Tests
Tell Proctor & Gamble :
As long as animals die YOU won't buy!
P&G has blinded and poisoned thousands of animals to test deodorants, hair care products, laundry detergents, toothpastes, and other products.
To test products companies typically 'DRIP' test substances in the eyes of restrained animals, as dogs, cats, and rabbits and force chemicals down their throats.
Such poisoning can cause vomiting bleeding from the nose and mouth, and death.
NO LAW requires these tests !!!

36. Manifesto against Bullfighting
The Anti Bullfighting Committee Netherlands campaigns against the cruel tradition of bullfighting. Main tasks of the Committee are informing tourists not to visit bullfights, publishing a newsletter and organizing protest actions. The Committee cooperates with anti bullfighting organisations in Spain, France and Portugal and lobbies on the European Union.
Founded in 1991, the Committee has 18.000 supporters, 4 professionals who work at the central office in Utrecht and 150 volunteers throughout the country.
By giving us your signature, you are supporting the current campaign in which we demand the European Union to discontinue the subventions for breeding bulls.
“Bullfighting is cruel, horrible and unacceptable. Stop the torturing and killing of bulls for entertainment. I demand from the European Union to forbid this useless and barbarous bloodshed in all member countries”.
With this manifesto the Anti Bullfighting Committee Netherlands fights this form of organized crime against animals. In collaboration with several other European organizations struggling for animal welfare.
37. STOP HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES, Europe's largest vivisection lab
Huntingdon Life Sciences is Europe's largest vivisection lab. They have labs Situated in Huntingdon (UK),Occold (UK) and in NJ (USA).70,000 animals including dogs,cats,rabbits,monkeys and guinea pigs are imprisoned in poor conditions. All animals will die after suffering horrifically.Drugs and chemicals are pumped into the animals to see the effects but these effects are not the same as with humans.
These experiments are pointless and cruel. HLS has been exposed 4 times with cruelty to animals including beating and shaking puppies. 500 animals die every day. Help stop this cruel prison.
In Miami, Florida, in the US, and all over the world, the Animal Abuse Fines are very low.
For example, for putting 4 illegal Pitt Bull dogs in a small cage with not enough oxygen, the fine was roughly $450 US dollars.
I, and many other people, find this horrible. The fines should go higher, everywhere in the USA, the country of freedom and respect!
Even though my example of animal abuse fines takes place in the USA, and the recipient is the US president, I am asking that people all over the world who believe to stop this sign, so we can make one more country a better environnment for our animals.
39. Adding Idaho on the felony list of animal abuse
When someone abuses an animal, in Idaho, they are given a misdemeaner. But in many other states they are felonies. I believe that animals have a right and if people are so cruel that they have to hurt or kill any animal they should be given a felony. Misdemeaners are like a slap on the hand. I have done lots of research and believe that I daho should change the law of being given a stupid misdemeaner. We need to stand up for the ones (animals) who aren't able to stand up for themselves!
40. End Procter & Gamble's Cruel Animal Testing
In P&G's cosmetic & household product testing, caustic chemicals are forced into rabbits' eyes & applied to their raw, shaved skin. Laboratory workers lock the rabbits in restraining devices so they are unable to move while chemicals burn into their eyes & skin.
The rabbits are given no sedatives or pain killers to ease their suffering. They sometimes break their necks & backs in a desperate struggle to get away.
Those who survive are used again ... until they are finally killed.
P&G's innocent victims include rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, & ferrets.
Even thought these tests are not required by law.
P&G insists on continuing this torture.
P&G claims to be a world leader in researching humane testing methods.
But the reality is that P&G spends more money in seven days on advertising than it has spent in 11 years on alternatives to painful & lethal animal tests.
These cruel & unnecessary experiments are paid for with profits from the sales of P&G products.
Every bottle of Pantene or Dawn,
every tube of Crest, every packet of Tampax tampons, every box of Tide, Bounce or Bold, every roll of Bounty,
& every can of IAMS or Eukanuba that is purchased means more money for painful experiments.
We think you would agree-- going without P&G products is a small price to pay to end animal suffering.
Fortunately, there are many safe, effective & humane alternatives to P&G's Tide of Torture.
Hundreds of companies develop, manufacture & sell safe consumer products without animal testing.
They use newer, more effective methods such as human cell cultures, chemical tests & computer models or simply use the thousands of ingredients that have been in use for years.
Million of Americans choose to purchase their consumer products from companies that do not harm or kill animals.
By buying cruelty-free, you support the growing trend toward kinder & more effective saftey testing. You send a message to P&G that when they hurt animals, they hurt their profits.
Your purchasing decisions make a difference!
P&G says animal tests provide product saftey.
Physicians disagree.
"As an emergency room physician who has treated poisoning & exposures to dangerous products, I disagree with the contention that animal tests are necessary to determine the safety of cosmetic & household products.
Animal tests does not protect consumers from unsafe products. In my 15 years as an emergency room physician, I have never found the results of an animal test to be of any benefit in guiding the treatment of patients who have been poisoned.
Animal tests provide only the illusion of safety, because of the significant anatomical & physiological difference between animals & humans.
I call upon Procter & Gamble to join the ever-growing list of responsible companies that have declared an immediate moratorium on animal-based product testing."

F.A.C.E.P.
A local Queensland farmer recently refused a damage mitigation licence to kill flying foxes by means of an electrical grid system is attempting to overturn the decision. If successful this will allow farmers to use this method widescale and will result in long painful deaths for not only flying foxes but also possums, gliders and night flying birds.
