very often the animals are sent by post or bought at reptile an animal trade fairs. even before the terrorist the cause or. animals are already changing. it's a more diverse crowd than the clientele i'd seen on large families with children people chatting and drinking beer teenagers. but inside it's the animals but crap you're right. many reptiles were visibly distressed scratching against the sides of their containers and trying to escape. some were kept in small empty boxes even though the terroristic a guidelines require animal boxes to contain hiding places. the price tags reached into the thousands of yuri's. where is this from. asia they come from sri lanka. species like this critically endangered peacock truncheon the were mostly described as captive bred not wild imports but verifying this is tricky but the buy is under the thirty's once an animal has arrived in the e.u. it can be legally trade even if it was smuggled out of its home country. in germany lawmakers have simply failed to protect animals that are protected in their home countries but. the law her

the new animal care and control facility. the new shelter will be built with the original brick warehouse behind me, the building was constructed in 1893 and served as the original market street railway corporation. it is eligible for listings on the state national registry and historic basins. it served as a maintenance facility for the sfmta overhead lines. the reuse of the building will be an elegant nod to the city's pass that serves the needs of the 21st century san francisco that historic brick face and wooden frame windows will remain intact, while the interior will be transformed into a state-of-the-art, multilevel facility billed to serve the needs of san francisco for many years to come. as mayor breeden said, we must think about the future of san francisco today, and there's no better way to do so by investing in capital improvements to our infrastructure. public works is proud to be working with clark construction and the many people who will be working on the projects. thank you very much.

at a high price for the animals animal welfare activists regularly record and report on shocking conditions at factory farms this film footage was shot in secret at a pig farm in germany the animals are kept in tiny pens with minimal but unity for movement their own able to even turn around to let alone go outside the animals seem apathetic many have injuries in germany for example farmers are allowed to keep pigs in pens measuring just one square metre. activists from a german animal rights group i determined to raise awareness among consumers while campaigning for the factory pig farms to be shut down so. our ultimate objective is for there to be no more factory farming and no livestock industry no more animals being exploited purely for human consumers. people no longer know where their meat comes from how the animals are bred and kept and that there's a life involved in providing that made me chip actually cost a lot more. the issue has decreased over the decades to practically nil on. this traditional but chip shop in berlin takes the view that its customers are aware of the value of m

i thought of that before the 1st requirement is given that we humans raise animals to eat the animals be treated well as we raise them right and that has to include the ability to walk properly all animals should be able to move naturally. the growth of the chickens here grow more slowly than with conventional farmers. and they live longer than 6 weeks. long how long will this one grow up in the stall up to 12 weeks by then they'll weigh this much 2 and a half kilos. and with that they reach their slaughter weight. the 2 euros 50 that the conventional farmer gets for his broiler chickens is too little for the organic farmer he sells them for nearly 10 euro is a piece that's after raising them with organic feed for 12 weeks. conventional farmer on fun who go can't wait that long he says speed and efficiency are needed to meet growing demand for chicken meat he says his birds are also more economical with feed that's the only consume half water can a chicken seat. on the desk so this is what your chickens eat all day long with either the things they say is around 4 point one kilos a fee

the human animal relationship is deeply embedded in our society. it is estimated that 80000000 dogs are in the united states with 96000000 cats. americans alone spin an estimated $60000000000.00 on pet expenses every year and that number is growing exponentially. it's always a 1st of all the buy something you're. something that will make them happy and live a help you are we give them exercise clean water and watts of what. we've always purchased food from a grocery store or a pet food store that provided convenience the promise of nutrition in from. 1000000 already with the brain and. the industry at large survive for nearly 100 years without a single thought from consumers as to what was going into the pet food. that all changed in 2007 when it talks a key ingredient made its way into pet foods killing thousands of pets nationwide melamine is used as a fertilizer in asia and also has several industrial commercial uses including a component of kitchen utensils and plates the association between melamine in the kidneys and urine of cats that die an

each animal has its own biologic rick. for certain nutrients a species appropriate diet for worms is dirt. let's say for hummingbirds would be nectar if you can't feed earthworms nectar and you can't feed hummingbirds dirt both of those animals would simply die it gets pretty confusing with dogs and cats however because dogs and cats are nutritionally much more resilient than other species and what that means is that we can nutritionally abuse them for lack of a better term and they don't die immediately they just have an overall vitality decline and overall degenerative changes take place in their bodies from feeding them food that are not biologically appropriate cats being obligate carnivores have to consume meat to be able to thrive they do not have a biologic requirement for any type of carbohydrate very high protein require a very high moisture requirement and a moderate fat requirement cats originally we thought were domesticated to guard the grain race because cats don't consume green cats consume ice that consume

each animal will have some place to stretch. we will have forever outdoor play stations which means that bunnies will no longer have to share with the dogs. [laughter]. >> which is no fun for anyone, especially the bunnies. we will have ventilation systems that help fight the spread of disease, we will have isolation rooms so we no longer have to house nervous birds with sick cats. as we approach the department's 40 it -- 30th anniversary, we can anticipate moving into a shelter worthy of the city of st. francis. the building would not have big -- become a reality without the efforts of many, including the board of supervisors, city administrator naomi kelly, the architects, engineers, and project managers at the department of public works who probably redesigned this building three times, sfmta, who agreed to trade buildings with us, and first and foremost, our mayor, please welcome, maryland and breed -- please welcome mayor london breed.

if there wasn't anywhere to put the animal waste from. human food industry where would it go in the earth in the air. in the ocean. it all has to go somewhere. we have a huge quality control problem meaning the quality of the gradients coming into the industry anything from potentially fabulous u.s.d.a. inspected human grade all the way down to entirely rendered which is every piece and part you could ever imagine actually probably don't even want to think about the final result is used to manufacture hundreds of products everything from so few channels and the fed foods to cosmetics that the companies blend those recital degrading together with synthetic vitamins and minerals to create a profitable quote complete and balanced diet that is then marketed to tell and in 100 years time we have successfully convinced an entire generation of pat lovers that why would you feed anything but dog food or cat food looking at the rules that guide the pet food industry it's easy to see how they are set up to benefit the corporations over the consumer

to find animals for sale. for most adults we saw pointed to a reptile trade called a terrorist occur in the small german city of the takes place 4 times a year. and here we met a biologist from animal rights organization pro wildlife to talk us through what we'd found online. many species we saw for sale are protected under international law or a native to countries where the export is bad and one purchased a furious by a complain that the reptiles he had ordered didn't arrive as expected. this crocodiles weren't sent in any kind of appropriate container but just in the box without any protection. and they were dead by the time they arrived. here you can see that animals weren't treated like animals but were treated merely as goods. and while wildlife trade online is often legal cases like this show the dark side of these poorly regulated market. on line trade is a big problem a huge range of sleaziness can be made available to everyone so. you know anyone can post an ad. and unbelievable range of species are

pet food industry they knew they had contaminated food they knew it was poison they knew it killed animals and they continued to sell it and put it on the market i mean use don't do that but it's a it's a money market they were making money and i wanted it stopped c.b.s. news has learned a tainted wheat gluten used in pet food was human grave meaning nothing but love kept it from being used in the food people eat to the moshav king aspect discovered in 2 sub committee hearings was that the ingredient used in the pet foods there was responsible for killing the animals was actually legal to use in human foods on top of that the f.d.a. admitted that there was no penalty given to a company if they failed to notify the f.d.a. in a reasonable amount of time. in this case menu foods faced criticism for failing to notify the f.d.a. for over 3 weeks even after they confirm dogs and cats were dying and they knew the costs but other than complain about the ethics no one in a government position could find many foods for allowing the food to continue to be sold even though they knew animals would die

that existed between the true value of a companion animal that veterinarians were giving you in case something happened to them and the amount of money that people were spending on their companion animals if settlements like the $1.00 in 2007 were not in the millions but instead in the hundreds of millions that alone would be a game changer for corporations who would be under serious pressure to prevent recalls at all costs i don't think the playing field has entirely chanced but it might soon you know it takes a big case i think to to really change everything. susan fixed an error in the website truth about pet food dot com. i started teaching people about pet food before the website began about 20 years ago my own dog almost overnight we noticed a tumor on her pulp and took her to the that any tell me that the it was a chemical preservative in the past food was more than likely this was bunk cancer and this chemical preservative in the food was more than likely the cause of the cancer and i know my brain couldn't wrap my head around that how could a food that i trusted in this was

we haven't been able to find a problem with the product we say yes there are sick animals we believe there's strong evidence so share with that but we don't look at the product and we've tested for numerous things and we haven't been able to find anything that would suggest that this product right here there's a problem with sometimes toxic ingredients are a combination of things sometimes a toxic ingredient you know is when you mix this with that and then that creates the problem so if you're looking for just one thing it's hard to know what that is . i max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is on a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed watch guys or. you know world a big part of the new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door
