I shouldn't have viewed that video while my cats were trying to have breakfast.  They all freaked out once the screaming started.  Now everybody's on edge, when I was hoping to spend a calm morning with them before our annual vet visit.

I like pigs, even more than I like some people.

wetware: pretty bad when that can upset cats! Horried stuff.I know it was pushing it BUT I really thought it needed to be posted...the more people that know about what is going on,the more can step in to help the ones that don't have a voice.

Tuesday: not sure about the baby seals.. my heart is out to them.. I saw a video a few years back that was gruesome.. I never knew that went on till then.. it was horrifying to see how cruel mankind can be.

Tuesday: How's Shiloh's breath?

PEOPLE for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has urged US ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's Homemade to replace cow's milk in ice cream products with breast milk.

"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 per cent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the animal rights group said

PETA officials say a move to breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their calves on factory farms and benefit human health.

"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense," PETA spokeswoman Tracy Reiman said.

"Everyone knows that the breast is best, so, Ben & Jerry's could do consumers and cows a big favour by making the switch to breast milk."

Ben & Jerry's said: "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child."

Tuesday: Who was the guy who decided to give cow milk a try?

I'll bet he pondered presenting his discovery for a few days

Tuesday: not sure,but genetically we are closer to pigs,I suppose pigs milk is our most logical substitute

Tuesday: I have to agree that the thought of that kind of grosses me out...dunno WHY the thought of a human adult drinking HUMAN milk bothers me and not humans drinking cow's milk...but,yeah,it does...I agree with the whole bodily fliuds thing....I would never eat Ben and Jerry's again,lol

Tuesday: 100% agree on that one!

A 5 month old male Bichon Havanese,does anyone have any experience with this breed?
he would have to get along with his 2 new sisters who are older cats,I hear the Bichon Havanese usually is pretty good with cats

Tuesday: Thanks for the very indepth link

(Small Dog Syndrome - Dog believes he is the pack leader to humans) aint that the truth

Tuesday: Is that place the animal version of "The Land Of Misfit Toys"?

Too bad they dont cut the horns off to give him some ease on his head and neck.. Poor animal having to carry them around all the time just so they can make a profit on people coming to ogle him. 

Tuesday: What a great organisation,Lurch is saving lives,I'll bet he's spoiled rotten

wetware: THANK YOU,for that post!!

Tuesday: Is there laws against frying ants with a magnifying glass?

I just wondered if insects have any protection legally,and if not,why?

I'm not trying to be funny,I just wonder how the "line" is determined as to protection legally.

I wonder if there are similar groups such as these concerned with insects?

Tuesday: animals eating other animals and plants ARE a natural way of life tho...differnce is,animlas in the wild kill to eat,they don't poach each other and they don't abuse each other and joke about it before hand....see if you can find the link in your browser history...ya got me curious now,lol :)

anastasia: How do you know animals
" don't abuse each other and joke about it before hand"

I'm pretty sure both of my cats get into : mischievous moods and try and get under the other one's skin from time to time,though they have never verbally stated it to me,or anyone else to my knowledge.

Humans are humans,and animals are animals,it's all perspective.Why does the Preying Mantis get a free pass for this carnage?

Jim Dandy: I was referring to,like the idiot at the pig farm abusing the pigs....oh trust me...my Miss Nik abuses the heck out of Damien BUT she doesn't beat him,shove things up his anus,make him scream in pain and then laugh to a fellow dog friend about it saying that ya gotta make em scream

anastasia: I'm not entirely sure that animals don't get a thrill out of abusing other animals,how do we know?

Now that doesn't validate the sickening abuses that have been brought to light over the years by folks like PETA,but I'm not so closed minded as to think animals are not capable of similar thoughts and behavior,who can say for certain?

Tuesday: I wonder if PETA were visible at any of her rallys?

Jim Dandy: I know ads have been running the info about the ariel wolf shoting,just not sure in what part of the country,because I haven't seen any of them...I have ZERO respect for her.

Tuesday: You would think they would want to run the ads in cities...ya know,where not a whole heck of alot of people would be hunters,I'm sure alot don;t even know of this horrific practice..god,it sickens me!
Did you hear about the 2 Canadian comidians that "tricked" her and her handlers into an interview and then started in a bit about the ariel hunting? I heard it on the radio last night,what am idiot!! lol

anastasia: Leave it to a couple of Canadians to expose the.......

Tuesday: it was too,and like Tuesday said,you could hear that she was giddy with excitement...I mean,even her handlers couldn't see that it was a joke..OMG!! When they started saying about how fun it was to take life away from something and she just LAUGHED....I thought she loved life?? I guess if you are a wolf or moose,your life isn't worth much
