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!
I also avoid the Animal Planet channel, because there are too many shows about abused/neglected animals (or animals in peril for other reasons), and it always breaks my heart and ruins my day.
