Wayne Pacelle's fingers caught in the Helmsley cookie jar

It has been a banner week for catching the animal murderers (HSUS) in the act. The waves have been abuzz with a solid case of proof that the real agenda of animal liberation groups such as HSUS, PETA and their tentacles is to eliminate the animals and cash in on the cow (pun intended).
HSUS [...]

Just when you think you've seen it all

The media whores are at it again! Sadly, main stream media gets the negative attention it is so pathetically addicted to by putting the word “pitbull” in the title of as many story headlines as possible.
How is this for a hurtin' title? {Actually cracked me up.}

House of squalor: Police find guns, drugs, pitbull feces in [...]

Calgary sets a standard like no other

I'm
pleased to see that our friends in Calgary continue to make terrific
progress in the areas of preventing dog bites and educating owners as
well as children and utility workers about dog bite prevention.Here's the story from the Calgary Herald:

Calgary dog attacks fall to lowest level in 25 years

City a leader in reducing canine problems, says [...]

The aftermath: how could anyone still support HSUS?

I am in tears…
In the few years of fighting this evil battle I have grown a much thicker skin. In my mind that is not a good thing; however one must “toughen” up to be able to function in this business of fighting for the right to own pets. How incredibly sad it has come [...]

Editorial, More Needless Dog Days Ahead

Our “staff” reporter wrote an excellent editorial in the Mississauga News!

To put dog owners, in the absence of any wrongdoing whatsoever, into
the untenable position of having to prove not only a negative, but also
an impossible one, is an insult to democracy and is, to be blunt,
un-Canadian.
It is a must read and please leave comments. [...]

Wilkes County, NC dog slaughter

Everyone is talking about the 127 puppies and adult “pitbulls” killed in Wilkes County, NC. In reading the blog Yesbiscuit, the slaughter was carried out today under a court order.
Caveat has a post about this atrocity today. Be sure to follow the links from the caveat article to get the background story.
HSUS must [...]

We hope our supporters will continue to donate when possible. The financial burden is ongoing.

Bushfire Relief Range Australia

Hundreds of people have died in the horrific Victorian Bush Fires,
thousands of people have been left homeless and lost all their possessions. Thousands of pet and domestic animals died or are now in
emergency care.
Every cent we collect through the sale of our Yellow leads &
collars will go to the Red Cross Bush Fire Victims' Appeal. [...]

Banner Week for Flakes

Those kooky old vegephiles at Peta finally decided to let it all hang out.They
appeared in New York today – well, their serfs did – dressed as Ku Klux
Klansmen.  I wonder if Grand Beagle Newkirk was present to rally the
storm-troopers.The
thing is, the joke’s on Peta.  Walking around dressed in what I presume
is the new official uniform [...]

Once Upon a Time

ONCE UPON A TIME…
 
Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived a cruel Lord who decreed that all short haired, muscular dogs be banished from the fiefdom. All the children were heart-broken and cried when their beloved family pets were either sent away or destroyed. They would never know the comfort in [...]

Dare We Hope?

Cautiously optimistic.  That's how I feel today about how things are going.  Why?  In the past month a few things have happened that might lead one to believe that the “court of public opinion” may not be a lost cause.  The recent support shown for our cause and some positive media coverage of the issue [...]

Toronto Sun has an article on Vick dogs

On the heels of an article in Sports Illustrated in January is an article in the sports section of the Toronto Sun.
Excerpt:

There are the perky, high-energy sorts like Lucas, all wagging tails and let’s-go-play vivaciousness.

There are the runners like Curly, who never saw a fence line or dirt trail they couldn’t wear down.

And there are [...]

Mississauga News nails it!

The Mississauga News had an excellent editorial today!
Here is an excerpt:

Another day, another pet owner charged with owning an illegal breed — crossbreed, actually.
This
time, the dog’s owner wasn’t charged after his pet escaped human
custody, attacked a person or an animal, or was found running free.This
time, charges were laid after a veterinarian, hired to neuter [...]

Mississauga repeat?

Would you not think Mississauga animal control would have learned a lesson in how to waste tax payers money, undue stress, anxiety and shame from the Rambo case? Well apparently not!
You would think MPP Bob Delaney would have filled them in by now that there is NO SUCH THING as a 'pitbull'; since he [...]

Montreal suburb Cote St. Luc contemplating breed ban

I am really starting to look like a Pug with banging my head off my desk and all.
When can we begin to insert logic and science where emotion and hysteria now reside? Why, when faced with a question of what to do; when the heat ramps up over dog 'incidents' (as they refer to [...]
