Pitbulls www.facebook.com/video.php?v=837026553009718 I saw this years ago. 6 male pitbulls w/ a 4 y/o girl, calmly obeying. Pitbulls have a bad rap. People are free to be scared of an animal. But I want them to be educated. Yes, pitbulls do have a different temperment over a Golden Retriever but they can still be loving, goofy babies. Any dog can be vicious. It's not the dog, it's the human. There have been dogs who have been abused & will fight back then there are some who even after humans have treated them like shit, still obey the human & just want love. www.petfinder.com/pet-adoption/dog-adoption/reasons-why-pit-bulls-rule

Dog- crop ears, dock tail. Dogs like Dobermans ears are floppy & tails are long but they cut them to make them stand up to look 'fierce' & some clubs want them to ‘look’ a certain way. Some countries prohibit crop/dock. Unless there's a medical reason, just leave it alone.

I think its wrong to ban a breed because owners doesn't know how to train them properly. I am a firm believer in let the punishment fit the crime. Someone abuses God's creature they need to be punished accordingly. Abusing a poor helpless animal. I can't stand it!

What about factory farming, or even just eating animals? The majority suffer just to satisfy our appetites My boyfriend and I totally disagree about this. He says that animals were put here for us to eat which is just so wrong for this vegetarian

I've talked to some people who cry over puppies & kitties being abused but don't think nothing of eating McD's. I don't like abuse of any creature. I am not against humans eating animals but I want them to be educated on what they are eating.

healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2015/04/02/dog-breeds-1915-vs-2015.aspx"These Dogs Live a Life of Silent Torture, Even Though They Weren’t Directly Abused Story at-a-glance Sadly, so-called breeding “improvements” have turned certain once-healthy breeds into deformed dogs A hundred years ago, dogs like the Bull Terrier, Boxer, English Bulldog, and Dachshund were well-proportioned, generally healthy, and physically active. Today’s versions of these breeds are markedly different Over the years, several breeds have been bred to exaggerate certain physical traits at the expense of their health, longevity, and quality of life Today’s German Shepherd Dog is no longer the athlete he once was with his sloped back and incoordination. And the 2015 Pug comes with an extensive list of brachycephalic-related disorders that make his health a constant concern"

A thought- If I was in front of someone & inhumanely killed an animal, they would be upset w/ me at the audacity. Yet they eat, wear products that are from those same animals. But outta sight/ outta mind. If people saw how the animals were treated in some places & how they are slaughtered, it might change their minds.

ellyfant, There are some good organic brands out there that don't animal test. But word of caution, just 'cos it's vegan, does not mean it's animal friendly. I found that out! I don’t wear makeup but I do use eyeliner. One Eccobella listed palm oil so I did what I always do, Ask! Had to pull teeth to get answers. Palm oil that is not sustainable is ruining forests that devastate orangutans & other wildlife. Red flags: they had to ask me which product I am referring to. It’s ANY & ALL! SMH! They didn’t seem apologetic in their greenwashing stance nor gave me anything other than We don’t use sustainable palm oil… Frankly, I’m sick of having to ask companies & them greenwashing.

healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2020/07/06/flat-faced-dogs.aspx Story at-a-glance For some time now animal welfare organizations, veterinarians, and dog owners have sounded the alarm about the tremendous health problems suffered by flat-faced dogs The Netherlands now holds the distinction of being the first country to take concrete action to change this dynamic by making it illegal to issue pedigrees for dogs whose muzzles are shorter than the minimum length required by law These dogs will receive “certificates of descent” instead of pedigrees, which will make it easier to identify breeders who are in violation of the law Breeders and breed clubs across the globe are angry at this move, but it’s long past due and will hopefully one day end the suffering of countless dogs who struggle every day of their lives just to breathe My notes: Hope more follow suit. Pisses me off that breeders & clubs are angry. How would they feel if they had a genetic short nose, couldn't breathe? If they truly cared for the animals, they'd support it. But you know they only care for the money & 'tradition'.

blog.therainforestsite.greatergood.com/jaguar-zoo-selfie "Jaguar Will Not Be Put Down For Attacking Woman Who Crossed Barrier For A Selfie Jaguars are fascinating and beautiful animals that are meant to be observed from afar. Zoos build enclosures that protect the animal and people that visit. While most people respect the barriers put in place, others see them as an obstacle to overcome. A woman wanted a selfie with a jaguar at the Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona, so she crossed the protective barrier. The female jaguar was not up for a photo and instead reached out and clawed her arm. Two bystanders heard her cries and rushed to help. One distracted the jaguar with a water bottle, which caused the cat to release the grip on the woman’s arm. The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment. The incident took place on Saturday afternoon. “We regret to inform that this evening, before closing there was an incident reported involving a guest, who crossed over the barrier to get a photo, according to eye witnesses. The visitor sustained non-life threatening injuries to their arm from one of our female jaguars. At the request of the family, paramedics were called. At no time was the animal out of its enclosure. The incident is being fully investigated,” said the zoo in a statement. The zoo tweeted, “Please understand why barriers are put in place. Sending prayers to the family tonight.” People worried that the jaguar would be killed, but the zoo reassured everyone that the jaguar would not be put down. “We can promise you nothing will happen to our jaguar. She’s a wild animal and there were proper barriers in place to keep our guests safe- not a wild animals fault when barriers are crossed. Still sending prayers to her and her family.” Followers commended the zoo for how they handled the situation. The woman returned to the zoo to apologize for crossing the barrier and takes full responsibility." My notes: Includes a short news vid. I so hate humans who do this! Then the animal suffers. Glad the jaguar won't be put down! & the woman did apologize but what makes humans think they can do things like this in the first place??

articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/07/18/will-horseshoe-crabs-be-sacrificed-due-to-covid.aspx Story at-a-glance The blue blood from horseshoe crabs is the only known source of limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) LAL is used to detect endotoxins, bacterial contaminants that can be deadly if they end up in vaccines, injectable drugs or other medical devices and implants, such as artificial knees and hips Every year, the pharmaceutical industry captures about 500,000 horseshoe crabs on the East Coast of the U.S. and drains up to one-third of their blood Even using conservative estimates of mortality caused by bleeding, and combining it with the 13% of bled crabs sold for bait, at least 130,000 horseshoe crabs may be killed every year by the biomedical industry Aside from the crabs that die outright, sublethal effects, including injury and disorientation, decreased spawning and disease, are also known to occur as a result of capture, handling and transportation, and may affect horseshoe crabs for weeks following the bleeding Population monitoring studies suggest horseshoe crab populations decreased more than 10%, or about 1% per year, from 2003 to 2014, although more striking declines of up to 95.3% have been noted in certain areas A synthetic alternative to the LAL test exists, and switching to it would reduce the demand for LAL by 90%, which could save about 100,000 horseshoe crabs from dying every year in North America alone ellyfant

Another case a man raped a dog and threw i t out the high rise when he was done! Sick he should been castrated. wouldnt know what to do about the woman.

www.naturalnews.com/2020-09-02-elon-musk-cruel-medical-experiments-pigs-chip-implants-brains.html My notes: I thought he was ‘ok’ but didn’t care that he was for the rich to be in space & leave us behind. Now, he does experiments on animals & wants to “fuse humankind with artificial intelligence.” I wish people would realize all this technology is NOT good for us. You are giving up so much of your freedom. & it’s going by so slowly that people are not even realizing it until it is becoming too late.
