http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/8261699/fur-flies-over-philippine-facebook-puppy Fur flies over Philippine Facebook puppy The puppy pegged to the clothesline. Animal rights activists and thousands of members of the public have expressed outrage over a photo on Facebook showing a puppy pegged to a clothes line in the Philippines. The photo was apparently posted by a young Filipino man on his Facebook account, where he initially ignored reprimands by pet lovers and boasted he would not be jailed for "washing" his dog. The photo showed a small puppy hanging by five plastic pegs to a cloth…

Organisation dubs June ‘No chipping month’ The issue of compulsory microchipping continues to arouse controversy in the dog world and the campaign group Chip Me Not UK has now waded into the fray by declaring June official ‘No chipping month’. The organisation, concerned about the introduction of compulsory dog chipping legislation around the world (with Northern Ireland being the latest to pass new dog control laws and intending to make chipping a legal requirement from spring 2012), is calling on UK pet owners to consider alternatives to the implantation of electromagnetic microchips in their pets. Fi…

A LEOPOLD family is devastated after a vicious backyard poisoning attack killed one of their dogs and sent their other into violent convulsions. Darren Blair and his partner Kylie Pantony and her three children arrived at their Christies Rd home Friday night to find their 18-month-old staffy, Bonnie, dead and their 11-year-old Staffy, Tyson, convulsing in his kennel. Mr Blair, who found the remains of meat packages filled with snail bail all over their backyard, said his family was left sickened by the incident. "We're finding it really hard to come to terms with it," Mr Blair said. "What makes it worse is Kylie's pregnant and hyste…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-13738315 Can't believe some people actually find some kind of amusement to this :mad: This was our favorite place to go for a walk. I was at work when the fire took place (which, in a way, should be lucky of as otherwise we would have been on the heath!). When we got home all you could smell was the heath burning away I went there with gizmo yesterday to see the extent of the damage. It used to be full of wildlife from insects and reptiles to birds and mammals and now, its just full of death Took some photos, they dont come close to the state of it in real life!

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/123574559.html There are some things that seem very strange to me the first being the dogs killing for fun. Maybe its me but I dont see dogs as the time of animal to kill for fun when running in a pack like this. The second is they've hit so many animals and yet no one has gotten ONE good description of a single dog to at least get a breed idea? I understand they move at night alot but people HAVE seen them apparently. Idk does this seem odd to anyone else O_o

Actually I'm leaving in 11th June, but I've to start packing up now and I've a (sumkind of) part-time job tomorrow. So... I won't be around here until 16th or 17th June x) All depends on how fast I recover from extreme tiredness Probably the most of you already know bcoz I keep complaining about this (LOL), but I'm going on a school trip to Bali.

The 17-year-old boy, identified only by his surname, "Zheng", confessed to his mother that he had sold the kidney after spotting an online advertisement offering cash to anyone prepared to become an organ donor.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/poison-fear-dogs-die-yorkshire-path-105650084.html Animal welfare investigators fear someone is maliciously poisoning dogs after at least eight died within an hour of walking along a rural Yorkshire footpath. Dog owners and families on holiday with their pets have been warned to be vigilant by the RSPCA after the series of unexplained deaths linked to the popular walking route. The path, off Station road in Cross Hills near Keighley, has now been cordoned off. In almost all instances, the dogs collapsed and died within minutes of returning from a walk along the route, which leads through fields by a lake. …

This makes me sick! My brother will one day, when my parents can no longer care for him, end up in a place like this and this scares me so much that he could be treated this way.......i hope the people the arrested are severely punished for the misery they've inflicted! These people they have hurt will probably have no idea why they're being victimized. It saddens me beyond belief http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13548222

Police are hunting for a couple who stole a dog estimated to be worth £1,000 from outside a supermarket.

Police have appealed for any witnesses to contact them. The dog's owner had been inside the supermarket and was told by a member of the public that Aldo had been stolen when she came out. The male suspect was described as white, about 26-years-old, between a…
