After reading this a question popped up. . .what would you do? To me I dont think I'd ever consider my dog's as emergency rations. Even after a week you would thing the dog would be able to catch food and you would be able to survive together? Is that to much of a movie verse thinking? I'm curious what would YOU do? http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Mushroom-pickers-lost-hope-considered-eating-dog-138779304.html

More than 36,000 people could be entitled to compensation after Halifax withdrew from its 'life-long' pet insurance policy. The insurer has put aside a compensation pot to placate angry pet owners but will offer the cash only to persistent customers who complain. The fund has not been publicised but sources told Metro the payouts of between £100 and £1,000 would ‘barely scratch the surface’ of medical fees. Administrator BDML has replied to a number of policyholders but it is claimed complaints will be dealt with seriously only when a second letter has been received. So far, dozens of complaints have been followed up out of more tha…

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2095451/Cruel-couple-facing-jail-appalling-neglect-sheepdog-trapped-ball-matted-hair.html This is not something I would normally post on here owing to its graphic content, but I am at a loss as to why this poor dog had to be put to sleep. I feel really, really upset. :cry1:Can someone please explain?

Very sad for this person but let it be a warning to anyone with an animal that has free roam. ANYTHING even the things you don't think possible can happen. I leave my dogs free while I'm out BUT I have baby gates protecting them from all areas but the living room. Even so I unplug my heater (which has an auto shut off when knocked over) and triple check everything. You can always do everything in your power but the hardest tragedies in life are the random unfathomable things

In a nutshell: A man struggling with depression finally gave in to pressure from the condo board and neighbours and euthanized his pit bull, Rocco, who had never hurt anyone. Wracked with guilt, he took his own life. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/doggone_shame_1a9XYW8u9ZLlqwRJTa6jrN One might read this and think "dude, you've got money - how about just moving??" but I think a lot of people on this board who have struggled with depression can easily understand that the ability to make rational decisions is not a part of the illness. Sounds like dude had a lot of issues he was dealing with, and this was just the one that finally bro…

Now there is a graphic depiction of a severely malnutrition horse so don't click if you have a weak tummy for it. I am curious though for any pet owner you would think if your animal doesn't eat that it has a medical problem and needs to see a vet right? I understand our huskies are a stubborn lot and Kiana can go days without food but doesn't it take months upon months for a horse to get to this point? I just don't get how they can say it's a wrong fact when the end result is that they neglected the care of the horse. I just don't get people sometimes http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Auburn-couple-accused-of-starving-horse-charged-with-animal-cruelty-1…

This boy has been saved thanks to some quick action and huge hearts in my GSD community but seriously! Who knows what the owner is going through to give up their dog in this condition it just breaks my heart On the happy side not only was he adopted, it happened within 40minutes of my GSD community posting his story on their FB page. THAT is what social networking is all about Very proud to be part of two communities who will do anything for those with no voice. http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-national/kaipo-dies-at-the-end-of-the-week-thanks-to-deadbeat-owner

Wow, everyday I read stuff on Yahoo that baffles me. http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/is-smacking-children-allowed.html I didn't even had any idea that smacking your children is not allowed in several countries in Europe! It's supposed to be banned here as well, but I have never heard many discussions on this topic. I remember that when my parents were in school, they did receive smacks as punishment; for what it's worth, it used to be the same in the UK and probably other countries in Europe. But is it really fair to fine parents for smacking their children? Or accuse them of child cruelty? Imagine to have social services ale…
