Constitutional Panel Rejects Bid by Animal Rights Groups to to have bullfighting banned in France
PARIS — The French Constitutional Council has upheld the right to host bullfights in parts of France. It rejected a legal challenge by two animal rights groups against a practice that advocates say is part of some regions' cultural heritage.
Opponents had sought to ban bullfighting based on France's criminal code that forbids cruelty to animals. But the legal text also allows for exceptions in the case where such events can be shown to be part of local tradition.

Police probe alleged poisoning of dogs in Moscow
MOSCOW — Vera Lesovets held up photographs of her dog, Yasha, a spunky 5-year-old corgi, nipping playfully at the heels of a German shepherd twice her size.
But Yasha's life was cut short this week: After snacking on something in a Moscow park, she fell into a seizure at Lesovets' apartment and began foaming at the mouth. The family rushed her to a nearby animal clinic, where the veterinarian said this was the sixth case he had seen that week, and there was nothing he could do.
On Friday police opened a criminal investigation into what they suspect are poisonings by dog killers. Cruelty to animals is common in Russia and animal protection laws are rarely enforced, but reports of as many as 70 dead dogs this week have spurred the police to take action.

Two biggest cargo carriers affirm that they will not ship mammals and non-human primates, as activist pressure mounts to stop research-animal airlifts.
For researchers who rely on lab animals shipped from distant sources, and for the companies that breed them, the options are narrowing again. This week, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) will announce that it has obtained written assurances from the world’s two largest air-cargo carriers, FedEx and UPS, that they will not transport mammals for laboratory use. UPS says that it is also planning to further “restrict” an exemption that allows the transport of amphibians, fish, insects and other non-mammals.

- Against the killing of foxes
A provincial act 187, in Reggio Emilia, foresees the killing of foxes until 31 January. For the slaughter are used traps - boxes in which the poor animals are attracted to pieces of meat, once imprisoned, foxes and agony in a matter of 24 hours are finished with a shot. Dogs (the hunter uses, as long as the come in handy) then eventually tear to pieces foxes and little foxes. This is happening in my "rich", "civilized" and "friendly" Reggio Emilia (confirmation needed)
