Humanity’s true moral test

“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated " Mahatma Gandhi

EU - Ban illegal timber
« on: June 19, 2008, 12:13:51 PM »
Surely you can't import illegally logged timber and sell it in Europe, right?

Wrong.


There's an important EU vote on July 23rd, which should close this illegal logging loophole.
The European Commission has ignored the need for a new law for almost five years.
Even now European Commission President José Manuel Barroso is being lobbied by companies who profit from illegal timber to reject legislation.

We need European Commissioners to vote "YES" to stop illegal logging on July 23rd.
