This is crazy. Somebody explain this to me, please. Really, I am serious, I do not understand how these things happen within humanity.In 2005, Colombian police raided a drug establishment where they found 10 puppies. Six of these Labrador pups had three grams each of heroin surgically implanted in their abdomens. Three pups died from infection post-op, the rest have been rescued and are doing

As always, the Humane Society of the United States is working to educate us all on ways we can save animals from danger, disease, starvation and cruelty. Have you ever seen a lost pet in your neighborhood? Have you heard a pet pitifully crying in the night? YOU ARE THEIR GUARDIAN ANGEL, MAYBE THEIR ONLY HOPE.There are plenty of things you can do, click here to read the article from the HSUS

Yesterday, the cover story of the Honolulu Advertiser was an article about abused dogs (64 of them) that were about the be returned to the abusive owner after they were seized from his property last year. The owner has about a month to give away or sell the pets, by court order.According the the paper, the Humane Society took the pets last year and assumed responsibilty for their care (2 females

Number One: GO LONGHORNS!! Congrats to National Champs University of Texas on their victory (i.e. totally thrilling football action) against favored USC (puleeze)...Tonight I miss my school, miss Austin, miss the sky of Texas and wish I could go straight to campus tomorrow and buy a Tshirt at the co-op. I would imagine that Sixth Street is complete anarchy tonight and that the party will go on

Aloha all and Happy New Year!Tonight I stumbled across this great news story about the restock of the New Orleans Aquarium. This facility tried valiantly to provide for the animals in their care and sadly lost to mother nature. Now they face an unbelievable challenge to restock their animals and grieve for their personal losses. It's a great example of why animals in captivity can be a GOOD

Have you ever suspected abuse of animals/pets in your neighborhood?Do you know if your local Humane Society has a branch for investigations?Last week while having lunch with a coworker, she mentioned her neighbor who walks his dog in front of her home. This man blantanly abuses the dog while they are on the walk, including whipping the pet with its leash. She has seen it many times and was

Just a few ideas for your family and friends who have pets. I think any of these are great gift ideas for pet owners.1. A donation in the person (or pet's ) name to a Humane Society, rescue organization, worldwide animal fund, etc. It shows your loved ones that you support their love of animals.2. Kong Toys. These nearly indestructable toys can be refilled with any number of inventive treats.

Today after I left the post office, I noticed a van parked in the lot with 2 poodles inside. The windows were cracked a few inches and the car was not in direct sunlight. The temp outside was at least 85 degrees. This pissed me off (I explain why in a sec) and I decided to wait a few moments until either the owner returned or until it would be necessary for me to intervene (fortunately the

I have a big problem with the human race. Why do we domesticate an animal and then refuse to care for a species that is now dependant on us? Here, let me give you a specific example....Yesterday I was reading a bulletin on the Humane Society of the United States websiteThis is a story about a so-called "rescue organization" in Arkansas. A local couple operated a dog shelter housing 477 dogs, over

Last night, ABC Primetime ran a news piece on the growing number of folks who wish to interact with dolphins while on vacation. The trouble is, facilities around the world wish to cash in on this demand and have now contributed to some alarming inhumane practices of wild dolphin capture. Naturally, I have thoughts....I do wish the piece had focused more on the wonderful standards that the U.S.

I say that with no real malice, having often been a member of that club myself. Stupid humans do not know how to work with an animal or they just don't give a crap.Now before you stop reading because you think this is an animal rights tirade, let me just clarify: I'm not what I would call an activist. I think PETA is a wasted organization, Greenpeace lost all credibility when they went radical
