Attention All People Against Cruelty To Animals -The Chinese Fur Trade - stop the cruelty!!C


I recently received an email that horrified me, and I would like to do as much as possible to aid in ending this barbarity to animals by getting this out to as many people as possible. If you are a animal lover like me I know that this will deeply touch you and if you have the courage to watch the video will leave a mark on you eternally. I only got through half of the video and became physically sick. This is about the chinese fur trade, and will make anyone think twice about adding fur of any kind to their closets. Please do not purchase cheap chinese articles made from animal fur EVER. Take action in addition to signing the petition which is on this page which I will forward to PETA ( PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS ) on the 500th signature. Thank you for caring!


World Society for the Protection of Animals


I will explain the process below:

With a hidden camera, animals were filmed being
SKINNED ALIVE!!! They say it's done to get a more
perfect ''cut''. Afterwards the carcasses
are tossed into a pile, still alive, and
for up to 10 minutes you can see their hearts still
beating, in agony, their eyes still blinking, and the puppies little
paws still shaking.
There was one pup, that still lifted his head and
gazed at the camera with bloodied eyes . If
you don't care to see the video, just open the link and please sign the pledge to go fur free without clicking on the video.
Please forward this link to your friends to get the petition signed so something can be done to save these helpless innocent animals. http://canine-health-and-happiness.blogspot.com/
This monstrosity has to be stopped, we have to act!!

Thanks for your support

There is no need to see the video, but if you must, be aware,
it's horrible. The following video is of excruciating violence. It's
painful silence affects us all deeply. If we don't protect animals from
this type of brutality, we become accomplices

Swimming for Dogs


I have been fortunate to enough to have some dogs who love to swim, I think this is wonderful as a form of exercise and fun and it also diminishes their fear of water. some dogs are bred to retrieve things from the water so they have an affinity for water in their genes, yet other dogs who don't have this trait in the genes also sometimes love to play in water. I do believe that you can condition this behavior in your dog from a puppy as I have experienced that between nature and nurture, alot of impossible things become possible to train your dogs through nurture. The same as humans who have never set foot in the water in their lives as children, fear the water as adults. This also applies to dogs as they are mammals too who learn as we do through experience.

I would love to hear other dog lovers thoughts on this subject. I have included a video of one of my babies - Shakira a miniature poodle having her daily swim, which surprises everyone. She has her own little pool but when I am not quick enough to put it out she improvises like now by swimming in her big brothers water bucket!

My Bull Terrier

My brindle bull-terrier, loving and wise,
With his little screw-tail and his wonderful eyes,
With his white little breast and his white little paws
Which, alas! he mistakes very often for claws;
With his sad little gait as he comes from the fight
When he feels that he hasn’t done all that he might;
Oh, so fearless of man, yet afraid of a frog,
My near little, queer little, dear little dog!

He shivers and shivers and shakes with the cold;
He huddles and cuddles, though three summers old.
And forsaking the sunshine, endeavors to rove
With his cold little worriments under the stove!

At table, his majesty, dying for meat,–
Yet never despising a lump that is sweet,–
Sits close by my side with his head on my knee
And steals every good resolution from me!
How can I withhold from those worshipping eyes
A small bit of something that stealthily flies
Down under the table and into his mouth
As I tell my dear neighbor of life in the South.

My near little, queer little, dear little dog,
So fearless of man, yet afraid of a frog!
The nearest and queerest and dearest of all
The race that is loving and winning and small;
The sweetest, most faithful, the truest and best
Dispenser of merriment, love and unrest!

About Me

My photo
I have started this site in the hope that I will be able to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged, abused, abandoned and homeless dogs. Dogs are my absolute passion and it hurts me deeply when I see the level of cruelty human beings are able to stoop to, in ways that make these innocent, sentient, loving and loyal beings lives absolutely horrendous. I want to make a difference and I want to be part of the procedure that will stop all the unnecessary cruelty.
