Protest the Circus: The Cruelest Show on Earth
repost from e-mail SD Animal Advocates,

For animals in circuses, there is no such thing as “positive reinforcement” —only varying degrees of punishment and deprivation. Animals do not voluntarily ride bicycles, stand on their heads, or jump through rings of fire. They don’t perform these and other difficult tricks because they want to; they perform because they’re afraid not to. Trainers use bullhooks, whips, sticks, electric prods, and other tools that intentionally cause pain and injury in order to force animals to perform. Constant travel means that animals are confined to boxcars and trailers for days at a time in extremely hot and cold weather, often without access to basic necessities, such as food, water, and veterinary care.

SD Animal Advocates and other groups are organizing a protest and leafleting at the Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Sports Arena, August 9-13:
Wed Aug 9 6-7:30pm
Thurs Aug 10 6:30-7:30pm

THE DEATH MARCH-DEL MAR'S RACE TO DEATH
Janice Jordan-P&F Gubernatorial Candidate,

Today the Del Mar Racetrack should be called the Death Mar Racetrack. In 1998 at least nine horses died during the summer racing season and at that time the track was blamed for the fatalities, calling the "course's surface deep and even". (The Independent, London, August 19, 1998) Since the racing season began this year (less than three weeks ago) 7 horses have died, and it appears no one in charge at the racetrack can offer an explanation for the high number of deaths. What can you do?

Derrick Jensen Benefit for Green Scare at Che Cafe
John Bongo,

Question: Which one book would you give to every politician?

Answer: One that explodes.

Before you freak out, let’s change the question and see what you think: Which one book would you give to Hitler, Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels? Let’s ask this another way: Would a book have changed Hitler? I don’t think so. Unless it exploded.

And before you freak out at the comparison of modern politicians to Hitler and his gang, try to look at it from the perspective of wild salmon, grizzly bears, bluefin tuna, or any of the (fiscally) poor or indigenous human beings. Those in power now are more destructive than anyone has ever been. And they are for the most part psychologically unreachable. And if someone does reach some politician, that politician will no longer be in power.

I recently shared a stage with Ward Churchill. He said the primary difference between the U.S. and the Nazis is that the U.S. didn’t lose.

I responded with one word: “Yet.”

BLACKFIRE, Fri 8PM da Blackdoor, North Park
repost from e-mail, durango indymedia,

BLACKFIRE, with Dias Tristes

"BLACKFIRE's style comprises traditional Native American, Punk-Rock and 'Alter-Native' with strong sociopolitical messages about government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, ecocide, genocide, domestic violence and human rights."

"i think we need to recognize that all our struggles are connected, whether they be sexism, heterosexism, destruction of the earth, exploitation of indigenous people and their land to the war- invasion in Iraq, all of these things are connected. There are some roots in a belief system and the value of "success" and the value is not in life but in money. All of these corporations, free trade agreements, all of these things are fueled by globalization that is connected to the colonization of our people. It's the same thing, the same force, the same form that we've been fighting for over 500 years on this continent, and it's on a larger scale now. It's something that is connected to all these struggles that we really need to recognize and build the bridges and build the solidarity. And solidarity means action."

Environmental activist Rod Coronado arrested for "teaching and demonstrating" at a 2003 San Diego lecture
arizona indymedia, reposted by sd indymedia volunteer,

Tucson environmental activist Rod Coronado was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his workplace by agents with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF). The arrest is in connection with a Grand Jury indictment in San Diego charging Coronado with "teaching and demonstrating" to others how to commit arson at a lecture he gave August 1, 2003 in San Diego . According to the FBI press release, Coronado "taught and demonstrated the making and use of a destructive device, with the intent that the device be used to commit arson" at a public gathering in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood. Three animal rights activists in San Diego were jailed for contempt of court in 2005 for refusing to testify in the secret Grand Jury investigation.

Coronado is not charged with setting a fire 15 hours before his lecture that caused $50 million in damages and destroyed a large apartment complex under construction in the University Towne Center area of San Diego. Neighbors observed that ATF agents searched his home in the Dunbar Spring neighborhood for several hours.

Coronado’s arrest is the latest in the string of arrests across the country related to environmental and animal rights related actions.

A Response to the “Green Scare”
dragonfly,

Our response to Operation Back-fire, and the demonizing of environmental and animal defense, must be with our love for, music inspired by, and stories about the natural places and critters we love. I propose organizing a nation-wide tour would be like an old-fashioned radio show, and feature an evening of stories, music, photographs, and poems that define and celebrate the environmental and animal-rights movements.
