Trap-Neuter (or Spay, UNLESS the female is pregnant) -Return (TNR)
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is practiced by all civilized and responsible communities, because TNR works. It has been proven in the field by the EXPERTS, (as opposed to the disproven, ignorant diatribes spewed by the cat haters who do not have a clue about TNR, much less understanding how well it works and that it is based on good ole’ fashioned common sense, and hard science.) These same cat haters, who hypocritically call for the deaths of living souls (Cats) who are equally as precious and deserving of life as the rest of us, arent interested in the facts, because they have an agenda, and no matter how fictional it is and no matter how disproven it is, they cling to their mythical agenda in blissful ignorance because they wish to see cats dead, rather than alive. These same hypocrites fail to…

January 27th, 2015 (Mary Bates). A new study adds Atlantic spotted dolphins to the list of animals that show nurturant behavior toward dead offspring.
Filipe Alves of the University of Porto in Portugal and colleagues observed two instances off Madeira Island. In the first event, recorded by a tourist boat operator, four adult dolphins were supporting a dead calf at the water’s surface with their heads and backs. After about 30 minutes, the entire group of dolphins moved on, leaving the dead calf behind. In the second event, observed by a research vessel, one adult, presumably the mother, was supporting a dead calf at the surface.

At this time of year Wisconsin’s north woods is over run with hunting activity. Wisconsin Department of Natural resources (WDNR) news release has it that wolf on dog attacks has increased, the following news article:
Wisconsin wolf on dog attacks increase, wildlife experts say…
“Wildlife experts say wolves have killed or seriously injured six dogs in Wisconsin this month.
That’s double the highest number for January in recent years. Two dogs have been killed in Oconto County.
Department of Natural Resources wildlife supervisor Jeff Pritzl says the spike in incidents doesn’t necessarily reflect any changes wolf population or behavior. Pritzl tells WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/1Cuws11) that more people are out hunting coyotes, bobcats, and rabbits with their dogs because of the milder winter.
Pritzl says the peak time for wolf-related incidents is late summer and early fall. He says most of the activity is usually in the northwest part of the state.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man is facing animal cruelty charges after police say neighbors witnessed him beat his puppy and bury the dog alive in a snowbank.
The Daily News reports Saturday (http://nydn.us/1vkn2EY ) Raul Cruz was also charged with weapons possession and torturing and not feeding an animal. He was released Friday night on $5,000 bail. Information on his attorney wasn’t immediately available. Sgt. Derek Mercado tells the paper officers responding to neighbors’ calls had to dig the whimpering puppy named Hennessy out of a two-foot snow bank.
The 43-year-old Cruz was then arrested.
Court papers show a veterinarian treated the dog for skull, leg, rib and back fractures as well as lost teeth.
The paper says the dog is currently being cared for by the ASPCA.

We all know about the Budweiser ad, a little lost puppy being threatened by a wolf. I won’t show the ad because it’s BS and I don’t want to give it any publicity but Budweiser should be ashamed. Are they that desperate to sell beer?
Get a grip Budweiser, very poorly played. Beer drinkers around the country should boycott Bud if the ad is not pulled. It’s a low blow to wolves, one of the most persecuted animals on the planet.
Please click the link below and sign the petition to tell Budweiser what you think of their blatant demonizing of wolves.

Purposefully demonizing an animal that is part of America’s natural heritage is no way to sell beer.
But that hasn’t stopped Budweiser from crafting…

USDA is charged by Congress to enforce the AWA and protect animals used in research. Its repeated failure to do this is unacceptable!

I’ll bet if someone made a game that had you kill people who are cruel to animals (or children or women etc) there would be an outcry against it…
Click to donate here. Please share anywhere you can. This is outrageous. If these people (the Romanian government) can’t clean up their messes, should they even be in the EU? And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Last week, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring burnished his pro-animal record when he established an Animal Law unit in an attorney general’s office. The unit will serve as a resource for local law enforcement and state agencies on animal fighting and animal cruelty prosecutions, providing the expertise and firepower to bring those responsible for animal cruelty, suffering, and abuse to justice. For the unit’s first project, it’s partnering with The HSUS to reach out to Virginia pet stores as part of an effort to crack down on puppy mills.
In New York, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched an Animal Protection Initiative to shut down criminal animal fighting rings, protect consumers from unscrupulous pet sellers, and prevent other forms of cruelty to animals. Just last month, Schneiderman secured felony convictions in the case of two men who ran the largest known cockfighting ring in New York history, and he…

“He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
