ONCE AGAIN PETA PROVES THEY ARE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO ANIMALS

Peta thinks animal abuse is wrong....UNLESS...it happens to be contrary to a sports figure...unless they want to fall in line behind the President of the United States. This is absolutely a sin. A sin that Obama puts in his two cents in defense of a DOG KILLER. A Dog torturer. Be sure to send Peta your dollars so they can fight like hell against an elderly lady that has too many cats. HYPOCRITES! Please PETA desolve your non profit. You are setting animals back. You are worst than the abusers.

President Obama Praises Michael Vick; PETA Agrees

 President Obama has praised Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick for his turnaround and NFL franchise owner Jeffrey Lurie for giving the former convict a second chance. Vick has emerged as a superstar for the Eagles after being jailed for running a dog-fighting ring and killing lame dogs.

In a phone call to Eagles owner Lurie, Obama stated that “So many people who serve time never get a fair second chance. It’s never a level playing field for prisoners when they get out of jail.” Mr. Obama’s statement, while true, begs to ask the question: Should a prison record be allowed at all when considering whether to hire an employee? Most businesses are leery of hiring ex-cons, especially when applicants without a criminal record are available.  White House officials confirmed that the conversation took place and took pains to add that the President also condemns Mr. Vick’s crimes.

The co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Ingrid E. Newkirk, backed the President fully, “Obama’s a sports guy, Vick’s a sports guy, and comebacks and redemption can happen.” The statement is somewhat odd from Ms. Newkirk as she fails to mention that Mr. Vick only ceased his activities upon being caught by authorities or made mention of earlier statements PETA made about Vick.  When the Eagles signed Vick in 2009 PETA issued a statement saying they “and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Philadelphia Eagles have chosen to sign a man who hanged dogs from trees, electrocuted them with jumper cables, held them underwater until they drowned in his swimming pool.”

Vick and his cohorts labeled their fighting ring “Bad Newz Kennels” and an investigation found that Mr. Vick and his crew hung under-performing dogs with a nylon cord. While never admitting to killing a dog himself, Vick did admit that he witnessed his employees shoot and electrocute numerous dogs.

Mr. Vick has publicly stated that he would like to once again own dogs. Mikey. I am all for you owning dogs if you will have an exorcism performed. For you have a dark evil within you that still preveils.

TRIGGER HAPPY COP MURDERS FAMILY DOG

This cop who killed the Golden Retriever needs to be taken off the job. He is absolutely unqualified. The question is...how scared was he? Too scared to be carrying a gun is what I believe. Read the whole story:


Atlanta Georgia-A Clayton County mother of six said the family dog did what he always did when he saw someone. He barked.But when "Boomer" started barking and running toward a police officer Saturday morning, the officer shot the dog and killed it, Lawrene King told the AJC Sunday night.

“He’s a golden retriever," King said. "He barks, but he’s never bitten anyone.”

A Clayton County police officer was on foot patrol on North Shore Drive when the dog jumped off a porch and started barking and running toward the officer, Capt. Tina Daniel said. The officer ordered the dog to stop and when it didn't, the officer shot and killed the animal in its yard, Daniel said.

The officer, whose name was not released, was responding to a call reporting a suspicious person, police said.

A resident called police to report that someone was selling meat from the back of a white pickup truck, King said. The friend of one of her children had parked his white truck in front of the family's home, and King believes the officer was checking it to confirm it was involved.

"My neighbor saw the whole thing," King said. "He was shocked how quickly the officer pulled his gun."

Boomer was killed about 25 feet from his spot on the front porch, close to her front door, King said. He was not on a leash.

King said she wasn't home when Boomer was shot, but three teenagers were in her house. King said she received a frantic call from her 19-year-old son Jonathan.

"Mom! He killed my dog," King said her son screamed.

Lawrene King said police officers were still at her home when she returned.

The family had an electric fence, but there was not a sign alerting the officer it was there, Daniel said.

“I have really worked hard to teach my children about authority. I’ve also taught my children you take responsibility for everything you do," Lawrene King said. "We’re all human, but don’t try to justify.”

COP MURDERS DOG

VIC WANTS A DOG.WAYNE PARCELLE SAYS HE THINKS IT IS OK

The head of the Humane Society of the U.S.thinks it is ok for Vic, the dog murderer to have a dog. 
He goes on to say:"I've been around him a lot " Mr.Parcelle...consider this.


There are two kinds of murder. This applies to animals as well as humans. If someone kills someone from a distance, say as in shooting them. It detaches the victim and the killer. But if someone uses a knife up close and personal,then it becomes intimate and personal and certainly adds the pleasure of the kill to the killer. That describes Vic. He murdered dogs with his bare hands and since I was not there, I have to say there must be many more ways he murdered them to satisfy that dark element inside him. If he had not been discovered do you really believe he would have stopped?


This is not the same as someone who has acquired too many animals and they cannot care for them properly...not the same Mr.Pacelle. Are you out of your league here or have you been smitten by the football craze? There are consequences to actions that are despicable Mr.Vic. I don't give a damm what you tell your children. You committed it. You have to pay just as anyone else has to pay. No you do not deserve to have a pet. The only way I would say yes is for Mr.Parcelle to move in with you and your family. 


Then Mr.Parcelle goes on to say this ridiculous crap:America loves its pets, but also condones hunting animals, raising them for meat and using them in experiments and tests, Pacelle noted. "You get a lot of mixed signals from our society about this."

That may explain how Vick was able to "rationalize" his cruelty, Pacelle said, but he added that it does not excuse it: "He knew it was illegal; he knew it was wrong."

Mr.Parcelle you surely should stay within the bounds of what you know. No way, NO REMOTE way can this be equated with what VIC did. Please remain silent for you are surely misleading people.

DIPLOMAT'S SON, MOHAMMED ABOU-SABAA, CAUGHT ON CCTV BRUTALLY ABUSING HIS FIVE-MONTH-OLD LABRADOR PUPPY

WARNING: AS WITH ALL ABUSE VIDEO THIS IS TOUGH TO WATCH BUT I WILL TELL YOU UPFRONT THAT THE PRECIOUS PUPPY DID LIVE AND UP FOR ADOPTION AND THE EVIL CULPRIT GOT OFF WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST.Remember.This man is a student Manchester University. Email the university: Jon.Keighren@manchester.ac.uk

Another Muslim abuse video caught on CCTV that is very tough to watch. And while this isn't as bad as the diplomat who beat his slave to death in a five-star London hotel, the beating of this lab puppy is terrible.

In a final, sickening, attack, the 21-year-old student was filmed kicking the blameless pet down a flight of steps outside his luxury city centre flat.

Attack: Mohammed Abou-Sabaa was caught on CCTV brutally abusing his five-month-old labrador puppy

Abou-Sabaa was seen raining down more than 20 blows on the puppy as she cowered in terror

But despite his behaviour being branded 'despicable' by RSPCA inspectors, magistrates agreed to let him walk free from court, imposing a suspended prison sentence and banning him from keeping animals for four years.

They told him they were letting him off because he was in full-time education - however it emerged yesterday he is likely to face disciplinary action from the authorities at Manchester University over his conviction for animal cruelty.

Brazen Abou-Sabaa punched and kicked the dog outside the entrance to his building, stopping when a fellow resident went indoors before resuming the unprovoked assault.

This leaves me grief stricken. WHAT THE HELL?

Target, the dog who survived Afghan war and melted hearts on Oprah, mistakenly put down at Arizona animal shelter

Target the dog lived through explosions in war-torn Afghanistan, saved the lives of U.S. soldiers and was featured on Oprah - but she couldn't survive a brief stay at an Arizona animal shelter.
An employee at the Pinal County facility was today on administrative leave after euthanizing the shepherd mix by mistake.
'When it comes to euthanizing an animal, there are some clear-cut procedures to follow,' said Ruth Stalter, director of the Animal Care And Control centre.
'Based on my preliminary investigation, our employee did not follow those procedures.'

Sgt. Terry Young, the owner of the dog, told The Arizona Republic, 'I just can't believe that something like this would happen to such a good dog.'
Target and two other dogs, Rufus and Sasha, were mutts who befriended soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, who began to feed them and treated the canines as pets on the military base.
One night in February a suicide bomber came to the base in the middle of the night, wearing 25 pounds of explosives and intent on killing Americans.
The three dogs frightened, barked at and bit the bomber, scaring him and waking the sleeping soldiers in the process. Deterred, the terrorist detonated himself outside instead of coming in.
The lives of 50 soldiers were potentially spared because of the dogs' actions.
Sasha was killed, but Target and Rufus lived. Medics treated the injured dogs like soldiers and the two were saved.
Only five soldiers were injured in the bombing and all recovered
Sgt Young said the dogs was treated like royalty from then on at the base at Dand Patan, near the Pakistan border.
With the help of aid groups, Sgt Young brought Target to the San Tan Valley area south-east of Phoenix in August, when he returned home from his tour of duty. Rufus went to live with another soldier in Georgia.
Target was featured on 'Oprah' in September in a show about amazing animals.
On Friday of last week the dog escaped from the family's backyard. Sgt Young then put out notices and contacted TV stations that did reports on the missing dog.

A neighbour found Target wandering later that day and put her in his backyard and called the shelter. The dog did not have a microchip or tag.
On Friday night, Sgt Young found Target's picture on a website used by Pinal County's dog catchers to help owners track lost pets. He thought the shelter was closed for the night and weekend.
He showed up at the shelter in Casa Grande to claim his dog on Monday, only to find out she was dead.
County officials say the employee mistakenly took the dog out of its pen Monday morning and euthanized it.
'My four-year-old son just can't understand what is going on with Target and keeps asking me to get the poison out of her and bring her home. They don't want her to go be with God yet,' a teary Sgt Young told the local CBS TV station.
The Arizona Republic said Sgt Young and his family will get the dog's cremated remains.

Careless bastards. That punishment is not enough.

WHERE'S PETA? WHERE'S THE OUT RAGE AMERICA?

A US soldier is seen stroking a stray dog, which have multiplied since the US invasion. In 2008, when the canine bombs were found, Baghdad started to cull dog packs. By 2010 there were over 1m strays and officials sent out sharp shooters to cull them...

Of course the very first question at the beginning of this story is: WHERE IS PETA? OH I forgot...Peta is busy with the persecution little old ladies with too many cats. I guarantee you the Obama admn.does not want you to know about this. Remember this is the admn.who will not name who the terrorists are. And this is the Admn.who wants to treat the jihadists with kid gloves and ice cream and warm pjs. These are some sadistic bastards who love blood no matter where it comes from. In Iraq at the beginning of the war they loaded camels, dogs and donkeys with explosives and sent them towards U.S.soldiers who have a kind place in their hearts for animals. STEAMED YET?

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorists who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport to Los Angeles. The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.

What's next? Kids? By the by, infidels knew of the plot two years ago, but covered for the Muslim terrorists and kept it secret.

Unbelievable. It must have been difficult for the Muslims stuffing the dogs with the bombs and detonators, considering how they loathe dogs. They sacrifices they make for jihad.........

The sick Islamic terrorist plot to bomb a U.S. plane with exploding DOGS Daily Mail (hat trip Petrov)

Sick Islamic terrorists tried to bring down a US cargo plane using two exploding DOGS, it was revealed today.

The Kamikaze canines - whose stomach had been stuffed with bombs and detonators - were discovered at Baghdad airport two years ago, French daily Le Figaro said.

They had been primed to explode in mid-flight, but were never loaded aboard the aircraft because freight handlers spotted both dogs had died in their cages.

A cargo plane was targeted by terrorist who loaded two dogs up with explosives on a flight from Baghdad International Airport, formerly named Saddam International Airport, to Los Angeles

Post mortem examinations on the animals uncovered explosives and detonators set to go off several hours into the flight from the Iraqi capital to Los Angeles, Le Figaro said.

The paper learned the information from a US military source earlier this week, it said.

The horrifying revelations come after one of two bombs sent from Yemen concealed inside printer ink cartridges was discovered at Britain’s East Midlands airport last week.

France’s interior ministry claimed the device was defused just 17 minutes before it was due to explode.

The shock discovery of the live animal bombs two years ago was investigated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation at the time and airlines and cargo flight operators were immediately alerted to risk of exploding pets, Le Figaro said.

The paper added: 'This discovery was made two years ago but kept secret from the public.

'The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.'

THE STORY OF STANLEY.GOD BLESS THE RESCUERS

HEADLESS ANIMALS! Something evil this way comes...

Neighbors Wake to Headless Animals Halloween Mystery

Neighbors find dead, headless animals in the street.

gruesome Halloween mystery came to a Miami neighborhood Thursday morning when residents awoke to find dozens of dead, headless animals dumped down their street.

About a dozen goats, cats and different types of birds were laid out on nearly two blocks between 16th Terrace and 15th Terrace on 34th Avenue in Miami, leaving residents scared at what might be next as Halloween approaches.

"Nothing had a head," said Marioly Perez, who was awakened by screeching tires as a car peeled out down the street. "I have never seen anything like this. It's scary."

Miami Police believe the dead animals might have been part of a religious ritual like a Santeria, but those don't usually involve cats. There was also a "very large" animal that no one could identify, residents said.

It all started when something went bump in the night outside. A loud boom woke residents and the sounds of a fast-moving car caused them to come outside.

When they walked out, the scene resembled something from a nightmare - a trail of headless animals with body parts strewn everywhere.

Perez said the smell was suffocating and that it seemed like the animals had been dead for some time.

"We all love animals here. This is very, very depressing. You don't know what kind of crazy people are around your neighborhood," resident Josefine Pita said. "It's very, very scary because you don't know if they are going to steal your animal."

The City's Sanitation Department cleared away the animal carcasses, while the Fire Department hosed down the Street. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Miami Police Department or call Crimestoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

The Loris Lives! First Pictures of Primate Thought To Be Extinct lives.

Absoulute cute. But absolutely deadly. This is a loris. A primate thought to be extinct. his cute furry primate is the first of its species to ever be photographed.

The Horton Plains slender loris (Loris tardigradus nycticeboides) was thought to be extinct. Between 1939 and 2002, no one spotted the animal. In 2002 someone reported a possible sighting, but didn’t get any pictures.

0digg

The 2002 report inspired the Zoological Society of London and a team of Sri Lankan researchers to launch an effort to find the 8-inch-long primate.

After 200 hours of searching, they captured the first ever pictures of the creature, which were released Monday.

“The discovery improves our knowledge of this species, but we need to focus our efforts on the conservation and restoration of the remaining montane forest where this species still exists,” conservation biologist Dr. Craig Turner of the Zoological Society of London said in a press release. “Currently this accounts for less than 1 percent of the land area of Sri Lanka.”

Dog ‘steers’ ship to shore after owner goes overboard

You've heard of dogs playing poker for fun, but what about boating?
A pooch that became stranded at sea on a boat after his owner fell off the side made it safely to shore in Pompano Beach Tuesday.
The dog's wild ride happened about a mile off shore, when owner James Land was thrown overboard.
"The wave hit me and flipped me off the side of the boat," Land said. "I was just hoping the dog was still on the boat."

The rough seas — caused by a tropical storm rolling in — pounded the small boat. The dog, Lucy, was left alone on the small fishing vessel, and Land couldn't get back to the boat.
Never fear. Capt. Lucy was there. The sea dog navigated the boat to shore, but didn't set paw on dry land. Instead, Lucy curled up in the corner, still wet and shivering from the voyage.
"When we came down to the boat, the engine was still running so my dad went in the boat to turn it off and he saw a dog," said Kaitlyn Stallings, a girl who was on the beach with her family and saw the boat come ashore. "It was shivering and he was cold and he was wet and he stuck his head out the back of the boat."
Meanwhile, Land was still off in the distance hanging onto a buoy. He said he waved at a passing helicopter, but it kept going. With no one coming to his rescue, Land decided to swim for it.
It took him about 40 minutes to make it back and he didn't even have to doggy paddle.

"It was just one of those things," Land said. "The whole time I was thinking, 'Where's my boat?' At least I'm alive."
The boat made its way to shore, finally making land at the 1200 block of North Ocean Blvd.
Stallings was clutching the still-shivering Lucy when Land walked up the beach to reclaim him.
"We saw a guy soaking wet walking on the beach and we said, 'Hey, is this your boat?'" Stallings said. "He came and saw his dog again. Happy ending."

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- A scarred but friendly pit bull named "Louis Vuitton" was the star witness Tuesday as an Alabama state board denied parole for the man convicted of spraying him with lighter fluid, setting him on fire and beating him with a shovel.

After the 8-year-old dog was led into the packed hearing room, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles voted 3-0 to deny early release to 23-year-old Juan Daniels of Montgomery, who was sentenced in 2009 to nine years and six months in prison, a record in Alabama in an animal cruelty case.

Catalonia Bans Bullfights in First Mainland Spanish Act Against Tradition

Catalonia’s parliament in Barcelona voted to ban bullfighting today in the first such prohibition in mainland Spain.

Regional lawmakers voted 68 to 55 for the ban, the speaker of the assembly said. The bill was the result of a popular initiative backed by 180,000 signatures, according to the Prou platform behind the initial campaign.

“Toreros” have fought half-ton bulls to the death in public arenas for centuries, inspiring writers including Ernest Hemingway. Opposition to the tradition has been growing in recent years, with a third of Spaniards favoring a bullfight ban, rising to a majority among those aged 18 to 29, according to a poll for El Mundo newspaper in 2007.

The number of bulls taken on in 2009 fell to 4,436 from 6,396 in 2003, according to data from the Interior Ministry. Catalans are less interested in bullfighting than many of their compatriots as 106 bulls faced the matador’s sword in the region last year, compared with more than 1,000 in Andalucia and almost 800 in Madrid.

The vote comes as Catalonia is battling Spanish institutions over its identity and two weeks after tens of thousands of people marched in Barcelona for the right to call the autonomous region a “nation.”

Animal Protection

“The reality, and you know it, is that for some political groups it’s not about animal protection,” Albert Rivera, of the Mixed Group said in the parliamentary debate before the vote. “You want to eliminate everything that reminds us that Catalonia forms part of Spain.”

Supporters of the bill say it’s not part of Catalonia’s bid for greater autonomy. Josep Rull, a regional lawmaker for Convergencia i Unio, said the law is about ending cruelty to animals and would make Catalonia more European than the rest of Spain. CiU allowed its lawmakers to decide individually how to vote.

“As a nation we will take a step forward and that gives us a certain pride,” he said in a telephone interview yesterday. “A majority in Catalonia has values that are shared with the rest of Europe.”

The Canary Islands banned bullfighting in 1991 as part of a wider law that aimed to protect domestic animals, singling out a ban on dog fights and the phasing out of cock fights.

To contact the reporter on this story: Emma Ross-Thomas in Madrid at

Dog Heroes

HJ
When Iowa farmer Loren Engelbrecht, 61, was struck by a heart attack so painful he couldn't even call for help, his Weimaraner HJ came to the rescue — nudging mom Dianna's arm until she checked on her husband. For being a life saver, HJ wasinducted into the Iowa Animal Hall of Fame this year. Now, Engelbrecht jokes, “He’s losing his hair he’s getting petted so much!”

DBOY
The Trawick family of Oklahoma City, Okla., creditsDBoy with their lives. When a gun-wielding intruder barged into their house, the 2-year-old pit bull came bounding out, barking, then took three bullets. He survived, and scared the intruder away,earning him the People's Hero title in the Humane Society's 2nd Annual Dogs of Valor Awards.


MILEY
In December, as Stacie Pitts and her Arkansas family slept, dangerous carbon monoxide gases were seeping into their air supply. Rescued terrier mix Miley sensed this, and tried to wake everyone up, succeeding when Pitts began to feel sick. Pitts called 911, and her family survived what doctors said was a close call. Miley's reward? Being named a National Hero Dog by the L.A. SPCA.

ACE
Search-and-rescue dog Ace was hailed as a star at Christmastime last year, when he found Ontario resident Donna Molnar, 55, buried in a rural snowbank after she'd been missing for three days. Rescuers had nearly give up, but the dog's sharp nose led police right to Molnar, not far from her SUV. Thanks to Ace, she was treated for extreme hypothermia and reunited with her family in time for the holiday.


BRITTNEY
In mid-May, American bulldog Brittney was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but instead of putting her down immediately, owner Scott Seymour chose to keep his companion around. His decision paid off on May 23, when a fire broke out in their Grand Rapids, Mich., home, and Brittney's loud barking woke Seymour in time to save them both from the blaze.

CHI CHI
During a trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks last October, Chihuahua Chi Chi saw an awful sight: two elderly ladies pulled into the sea by a strong wave. His relentless barking led owners Rick and Mary Lane to run to their aid and pluck both women to safety. Now Chi Chi is Reader’s Digest's Hero Pet of the Year.

JACQUE-PIERRE
St. Louis hospice nurse Mary Phillips was lying on the floor of her workplace last October, complaining of a terrible headache. When 7-year-old office maltipoo Jacque-Pierre began to lick her temple, she went to seek help. As it turns out, the little guy sensed a walnut-sized aneurysm in her brain, and saved her just in time. Phillips recovered, and was back to work two months later.

LEVI
After 90-year-old Val Cross's Australian farm began to burn down around her in February, she attempted to run into the home to turn off the power. But rescue pup Levi knew better, and with all his might, dragged his owner away from the fire — through smoke and burning grass — to safety on a nearby dam.

TACH
Belgian Shepherd Tach was credited with saving the life of an Alzheimer's patient in Ireland this month, after the man went missing. Within four hours, Tach brought neighbors and police to 84-year-old Tommy Coulson, who was shaken, but safe. It was the dog's fifth rescue in four months — quite the feat!
