animal welfare

I received this from a very good friend recently:  Petition Circulated to Stop Execution of Dakota, Dog Who Took Infant From Crib (Video & Link).

If something like this happened to kids (or anyone else) at home, I would not want the pet dog to be home with us.  However, I think we should look at this in a different light.   Here's what I think of the situation...

Before humans are placed behind bars, all evidences and witnesses are cross-examined.  Why should it not be the same for a family dog?  Yeah, I know...cos it isn't human right?

And if the dog, Dakota acted on maternal instinct, I am sure she is capable of carrying her "baby" without hurting baby.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Right now Dakota is scheduled to be executed (after activists "mistakenly" petition for it to be released knowing Dakota is a lovely healthy dog).   Was the petition a mistake?

Animal Health, Cruelty and Welfare 'SECRETS' Exposed! (Warning: This blog entry may make you feel the blogger is a lunatic! lol No matter, I hope you enjoy this blog entry!)

One of the reasons why I blog about this is because I was touched. I was touched by Oprah's kindness to allow TV broadcasts....exposing the way dogs have been poorly treated in some dog breeding centres. This was not long after her companion of 13 years passed away. There may be many more things not addressed in this blog entry but I will attempt to voice what concerns animal lovers - health, fitness and welfare of animals all over the world.

Less than 24 hours from the posting of this blog entry, some pigs will be killed after an “PANDEMIC VACCINE TRAINING” exercise ends on Monday April 26th 2009. The Vaccine Training was scheduled to occur in Texas between 24th (Saturday) till April 26th, and involves Texas National Guard Troops involving “drive-thru vaccination clinics”. Are these pigs used as a desperate find to the anti-Swine Flu vaccines?? Full news
