We are delighted to let you know that WSPA's ‘Pigs of God’ campaign is making fantastic progress.
Virtual Success
To date, people from 60 different countries have shown their support by adding a flower to our virtual pig. These flower signatures, including yours, have already made a difference.
Pig of flowers
Flowers in action
In November, the Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST) presented a life-size pig made of flowers and candy to Taiwan’s San Shia Master Temple in an appeal to end its cruel Pigs of God contest (see picture above).
The event generated further support for the online petition at www.pigsofgod.org
After pressure from WSPA and member societies, the Taiwanese government has shown a willingness to be compassionate by strengthening the Animal Protection Act in 2007 and pledging to ban live bird markets from April 2008.
Let’s keep up the pressure!
Please forward the Pigs of God petition to as many friends as you can. Adding a flower and another voice really can make a difference.

(Adaptation of Green Party Taiwan November press release棄絕舊政治---打造環保與勞工的第三勢力21.12.07)
Taiwan Green Party’s Election Logo is based on the Italian Green Party Logo, the two Chinese characters from left to right are “green” and “political party”
On the eve of the registration deadline for Taiwan’s national legislative elections , the Green Party Taiwan (Taiwan Greens) and the Raging Citizens Act Now alliance (RCAN) announced their joint list of nominees to vie for the 34 legislator-at-large seats. The nominees in order are CHEN Manli, CHANG Huishan, CHANG Honglin and WANG Fangping. With the organization of a third force already a hot topic, this new union is one option to break the stranglehold on the nation currently being experienced due to the incessant bickering between Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on non-issues. Both parties, the KMT for 55 years and then the DPP for 8 years have shown themselves to experts at nothing other than colluding with business to fritter away the nation’s future.

Time for commitments
Alarmed by the speed of climate change and the insufficient action, particularly of those countries that bear the greatest responsibility for emitting greenhouse gases, Global Greens call for the Bali meeting to agree on a negotiation mandate to establish, by 2009 at least, a binding regime for global greenhouse gas reductions that is consistent with avoiding dangerous climate change.

A Story of E-waste Pollution on the Erren River in Taiwan by Silicon Valley Toxic Coalition
The Erren River should saunter sweetly through Tainan and Kaohsiung counties, past the city of Tainan, and into the South China Sea on its 65 km journey across southern Taiwan. However, activities along its banks have degraded this river to a foul flow of pollutants bordered by eight-foot-high walls of stripped electronic circuit boards.

by Karen Fish
It’s a matter of survival.
The fox in “The Little Prince” said “Words are a source of misunderstanding.” In a world where human beings are quickly poisoning the components of which human beings are made of, earth, water and air to death, when it comes to planetary poisoning the people of the United States have put George Bush, the fox in charge of the hen house.
