Finding Out About Cats And Kittens


Thursday, March 4th, 2010


Annually in the U. S. a significant number of unwanted kittens and moggies are are eliminated it is perhaps because there aren’t really enough homes for each one of them. This can be extraordinarily depressing yet true reality. If you’re planning about bringing a new pet for your family, well think about adopting. If you need a thoroughbred kitty, like a Maine coon or a Siamese then you don’t need to fret for there are several kitty rescues in US that concentrate on the adoption of a selected breeds.

One example is the Siamese Rescue Organization, they rescued about 15, 000 moggies all around the planet and they are sincerely dedicated to locate a new homes for their misplaced, abused and deserted Siamese cats. This organization has rescue centers that can be found at California and Texas also in the Pacific and in the Rocky Mountain regions of the country.

If you are one of those people that are interested in embracing a kitten to be a part of your folks, then spring time is the ideal time to procure. However some shelters accept kittens every day of the year and typically there are piled high with kittens during spring. Once you are really certain in adopting one, you should create a listing of questions ready ahead before you head into the relief center. The more that you have a power of knowing the specific pussy-cat or kitten far better.

So here’s a list of Cats questions that you might need before homing a new pet. What is the ownership charge? Quite how much human contact does the kitten obtain since it’s been it the possession of the center? If the actual kitten or its litter box trained? If their health background present? If they’re been allotted by their owner, what really should be the likely reason?

If they get anyCats medical Problems what are the causes if you made contact with them? And how much will it cost you to treat their illness? How do they behave when there are more animals on site? Have they contact with other animals while they’re at the rescue center? When on the shelter, where do they sleep? In the cage, foster home or open room?

When you choose adoption, not only you give a unhomed pet a new chance in life but you may also save them from hunger and death.

Bull Of Fire – How Do You Like Your Steak? Medium, Rare Or Still Alive And On Fire?


Tuesday, November 24th, 2009


How would you like your steak? Medium, rare or perhaps still on fire while it’s alive? I hope that caught your attention for I want to acquaint you with an event which occurs in the second week of November every year in the picturesque township of Medinaceli in the province of Sorla, Spain. Incidently, the population of Medinaceli is just over one hundred.

Each year the locals celebrate a “tradition” called “Toro Jubilo” which when translated means Bull of Fire. Almost sounds like a drink, doesn’t it? This is a great form of entertainment and eagerly anticipated by all in the township. All but one. Yes, you guessed it – the bull.

The bull is led out onto the streets of Medinaceli where balls of pitch, a black sticky substance made from tar or turpentine are liberally stuck onto his horns. They are then set on fire, and much to the delight of the crowd. The bull, who at this stage is consumed with fear runs to escape the pain as the pitch keeps burning, trickles down his face and into his eyes. He is in great pain and has no idea where he is running. All he wants to do it stop the pain and the fear. He runs into walls and other objects whilst all the time the local villagers scream with delight. He is taunted by the villagers, and all the while the pitch continues to drop off and burn on to his body. No matter where he goes, he cannot escape his tormentors, the pain or the fire. Yes, this is a real crowd pleaser and the pitch burns for hours. Of course, you know what happens to the bull.

It is time to stop this barbaric practice and I hope you are sufficiently disgusted enough to want to do something about it. If you go to the internet there is a site where you can add your voice and send a letter to the Mayor. The bull cannot speak but we can. bull animal welfare animal rights spain cruelty fire

Whilst on the subject of Spain I would also like to tell you of another celebration which takes place in the township of Tordesillas. The celebration is known as Toro Tordesillas. Once again it involves a bull which is taken to the outskirts of the township and once again the residents of the township look forward to this entertainment. The bull is set free but immediately the jeering crowd start throwing lances, rocks and anything they can lay their hands on at the bull, who of course is in a state of panic. What has he done to deserve this? What terrible crime has he committed? After hours of being stabbed, bloodied and bruised and with no strength left, the bull collapses. Whilst lying there in pain, he is set upon by the villagers who must now satisfy their blood lust. Whilst he is alive, his tail is cut off folowed by his testicles. Naturally the person who carries out these attrocities is considered a “hero” as he proudly carries them aloft for all to see. He is cheered by the crowd.

You may find this hard to believe but this horrific ritual is considered to be a tourist attraction! It is supported by the Catholic church and the murder of this bull is to honour the Virgin de la Pena. These traditions are legal in Spain, it seems you can commit any type of animal cruelty without fear of retribution.

So, you ask, what can one person do? You can send a letter to your local Spanish Embassy expressing your outrage at the barbaric and inhumane practices carried out in Spain. The animals cannot speak, all they can do is scream out in pain. We have to be their voice. bull

You will hear from me again. I am no sadist and these acts of torture upset me immensely. I will be telling you more horror stories because we all need to be aware of the plight of animals who need our help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Together we can all make this a better world to live in.

Crocodile Tears – You Would Cry Too If It Happened To You


Sunday, November 22nd, 2009


I recently read an article regarding two crocodile skin handbags selling for $55,000. These handbags were made in New Zealand and used the skins of ten crocodiles to produce. Now I’m no Steve Irwin when it comes to crocodiles but crikey, to kill ten crocodiles to make two handbags is wrong, no, it’s downright cruel. Whether the handbags sell for $55,000 or $55.00 is immaterial. To take the lives of ten living animals to cater to the fashion aficionados doesn’t cut it in my book.

Irrespective of the fact that these crocodiles were farmed for just this purpose doesn’t make it right. What next, breeding humans for their organs and other parts?

To make a chinchilla fur coat requires approximately 150 pelts.animal rights That’s one hundred and fifty animals that must die in order to satisfy someone’s desire to appear fashionable and chic. All power to the models who make a stance and refuse to wear fur on the catwalks.

With the advances made in technology it is hard to distinguish between real and fake and I cannot understand why people give no thought to where these items have come from, the fear and suffering these animals have gone through.

Is it clothes that maketh the man or the man that maketh the clothes? I believe that it is the man who stands up and says no to animal farming for the sake of fashion is the one who defines himself as a man.

It appears that some people just have too much money and want to flaunt it. I’m not against people having money, more of us should have it, but I am against the cruelty and the idea of wearing an animal for the sake of fashion. Animals should be treated with respect and not treated as some commodity to satisfy the wants of some person wanting to flaunt their wealth to be noticed. animals

In 2006 China produced 4 million fox pelts and today just as many raccoon dog pelts. It is estimated that China produces 10 million mink pelts and even produces cat and dog pelts. These animals are housed in barbaric conditions – wire cages in which they cannot stand. China has no animal welfare rights at all and they can basically treat animals in any way they wish. It has been reported that many animals are skinned alive.

So I would ask that next time you consider purchasing a crocodile handbag, fur coat or even an article of clothing that has some form of fur on it, ask yourself, do I really need this, where did it come from, is there a synthetic product that will look equally as good?

I hope this article will give you cause to consider the plight of animals farmed solely for their skin and to think about your purchases in the future.
