this is a board that talks about issues concerning animals...your own pets as well as animal rights,alerts,bills before congress that need our attention.This is a family board but as abuse cases may be posted it may not always be for the sensitive readers.Please be kind to each other,thanks!
Tuesday: RIN TIN TIN never got over his bitterness of becoming second fiddle to Lassie.To this day the fan clubs hold seperate picnics far apart from eachother,old wounds die hard
件名: Re: I googled to find a Lassie,Vick connection
anastasia: Yes,it would mess with my head too.The "essence" of my prior buddy would be gone anyway,so what's the point.Molly was a ferile cat prior to us adopting her,I spent many hours working with her to attain the trust level we have reached.Pet and people relationships are similar when we consider that the special nature of each of those relationships are based on day to day experiences,there are no shortcuts in reaching that place.I will say,that ever since I had to carry my boy Zeuss off the road after a tragic accident I did search for another black cat who resembled him,so Molly is a bit of a clone,but in a natural way.

Jim Dandy: OMG! That was TOOOOO funny!!! I have often thought (but would NEVER do lamby,lol) what Damien would be like cloned...would he be Damien,or not be Damien...just to weird of a concept there for me,lol...
I watched Vick at half-time during the game give his..I am so sorry speach..not only did he not apoligize to the animals lovers...but what about his own family?? I heard not one time that he was sorry for discracing them as well.....all tho his Mum thinks he has suffered enough..Let me in a room with him for 10 minutes...he will know excatly what those dogs felt..AGH! makes my blood pressure go up just thinking about that man! I had to get up and leave the room because I couldn't stand the sound of his voice anymore.I hope he suffers.
Lambyless: She's only 7,let's see in 10 years or so how far it has come.She'll probably outlive me anyway,and I'm going to be stuffed and placed in my comfy livingroom chair.
Jim Dandy: I can understand why you would want to clone a beloved pet.....but cloning is such dodgy ground...I disagree with anything which meddles with nature in that way
Tuesday: OK, then let him observe therapy sessions of people who are trying to deal with the loss of a four legged family member.................................he can clean the do do later
Tuesday: Yes,not directly though,the can pick up vibes and he would bum them out.Let him clean their do do while they are safely in the arms of loved ones.
Tuesday: You have a point.Why would Lassie sink to his level.I wonder if he found God 5 minutes after a reality check from his lawyer,pure coincidance I'm sure.
Tuesday: His endorsements are gone,nothing to wrry about there.His team is trying to recover their bonus money before cutting him,nothing to wory about there.He could get work as an actor,he could become the only person Lassie decided not to save.
Tuesday: I watched his press confrence today where he made a statement.I was suprised he made no apology to animal lovers or the sacredness of the dogs,nothing.I didn't see a man who truely felt guilt at all.
Tuesday: Oh dear Lord..I cannot believe that woman would BRAG about that....for petes sake..not tlike she was protecting her kids from a wild rabid mountain lion!! which...btw...IF I am ever out hiking and get killed by one...somebody PLEASE let the authorities know I do NOT want the cat killed,lol....I am in his nieghborhood.
I heard Vick's Mom said that her son has found God now and that he should be forgiven...I am NOT even going to go there because of the kinds of discussion it might bring up BUT ....just because someone says they suddenly change,they should be forgiven and all is forgotten?? PLEASE!!I agree Tuesday that if you can do that to a defensless animal....something that is totally 100% dependant on you for help and food and love and protection,I feel that person is MORE then capible of doing something horrific to a person....Isn't there some study that says about serial killers being known for torturing and killing animals as a prequil (sp) to hurting humans???
I very much doubt this person either owns a chimp or aspires to own a spider monkey.They probably saw the response I got from posting the video and knew they'd get a reaction.Some people just like to stir things up.
srnity: I don't necessarily think it's true - California is one of the MOST difficult states in the Union to own and/or harbor an "exotic" pet in......I agree with that..and I also agree with Tigger...everyone back to their own corners,please
I don't necessarily think it's true - California is one of the MOST difficult states in the Union to own and/or harbor an "exotic" pet in. And if it is true, eventually some kind-hearted soul will report it (especially if it's kept outdoors) - I would in a heartbeat A chimp isn't a "pet", it's a wild animal, which belongs in it's natural habitat, or if not there, then in a zoo where it can be cared for properly, something your average person is not equipped to do.
rod03801: I find it virtually impossible not to mention her character, or anyone one elses for that matter, if they are going to come on here and announce they have a chimp as a pet!
It isnt the same as just having a general conversation 'Primates as Pets' (being the topic). I could quite easily have a discussion about primates being kept as pets, and how utterley wrong & immoral it is, yes, BUT an actual person has announced they have have a chimp as a pet. That to me is the same as someone coming on here announcing any other type of animal abuse.
The person is at fault for that, its cruel, so that is part of the persons character!
Im am so strongly involved in animal rights as Im sure alot of you are aware. Ive made my feelings known on this now. She needs investigating by the Calafornian Authorities for the illegal inprisonment of a chimpanzee!
Lambyless: That's a great link. I did a quick google search and National Geographic said pretty much the same thing. Here's that story about the Maryland woman fighting the State over custody of her monkey.
The lady was just on Fox news and said they were prepared to go to the highest court over this! The pictures they showed we're kinda cute. The monkey has it's own special room and she does give it lots of attention. But that is not representative of what normally goes on with keeping monkeys as pets. Most people find that the monkeys are difficult to keep as pets after they reach sexual maturity. They often become agressive as they try to assert their dominance.
