Why? Three to four million homeless cats and dogs are euthanized every year in the United States. These animals are just as loving, playful and loyal as your own and would’ve made wonderful companions, if given the chance.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Unfortunately, US shelters cannot save and support the large numbers of animals brought to their door every day. This is a tragedy that each of us can help prevent by having our own pets spayed or neutered.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Many people think their pets should have a litter before they are spayed or neutered and that they will be able to find homes for the litter. There are no proven medical benefits to allowing a female dog or cat to have a litter prior to spaying them. Finding lifelong homes for these kittens and puppies can prove more difficult than people realize and every new litter has an impact on the number of homeless pets in your community.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Some people think they don’t need to spay or neuter because they keep their pets inside but accidental litters can happen any time your pet slips under the fence or darts out the door. It only takes a very short while for this to happen. Unexpected litters can account for a huge number of homeless pets in the community, who end up lonely and suffering on the streets and sitting in shelters waiting for a home which may never come.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Spaying or neutering your dog or cat will often prevent some serious medical problems that can occur in animals, such as some types of cancers and infections. Be sure to consult with your veterinarian about the potential medical benefits spaying or neutering may provide your pet.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Everyone can help prevent the tragedy of companion animal euthanasia by spaying and neutering their pets and you’ll be helping your pet stay healthier in the process.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> ~ Julia</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>Jenna and Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072468005659829238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224430653197999824.post-67286344197187703442014-01-21T11:55:00.001-08:002014-01-21T12:00:48.325-08:00Our presentation <p>Last night and this morning Julia and I worked on our presentation! It was really good and the topics we covered were- animal testing, animal cruelty, pitbulls, fur, meat, animal ownership, and shelters. We showed the presentation to our moms and hopefully more people soon. It went better then expected (when we showed it to our moms) and at the end we handed out papers with popular brands that don't test. Unfortunately there is no way we can upload it on here:(<br><br><br></p>

So fun to watch the elephants, giraffes and other cool animals but are the animals really happy at the zoos? No they are not, often if the signs you will see animals constantly showing sign of stress. For an example an animal will show stress by pacing back and forth.<div><br><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://63BD835C-8C15-4B0F-A36A-372C635CAAF3/imagejpeg"></div><div>Look at this elephant, does he look happy? Nope didn't think so. Elephants in the wild travel many miles a day with at least ten other elephants. They are very sociable animals. In zoos they are kept in only pairs or even isolated in small enclosures. And it's not just elephants it's every single animal in the zoo. Still think zoos are fun and the animals are happy? </div></div><div><br></div><div>Many zoo animals even die because of the tortue. </div><div><br></div><div>Also if an animal misbehaves they are beaten.</div>Jenna and Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072468005659829238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224430653197999824.post-32038835984157338402014-01-20T17:04:00.000-08:002014-01-20T17:04:04.209-08:00PetSmart CrueltyHere I'm going to talk a little bit about PetSmart cruelty, a common topic brought up by animal enthusiasts at some point - perhaps when they have discovered it. That's what I'm here to do, explain to you what really goes on behind closed doors. PetSmart (and other lesser-known pet stores) has a secret - the pets they sell have often experienced cruelty before they are sold. Babies are torn from their mother's side as soon as they can open their eyes, often still needing mom's milk. Escapees are smashed, crushed, and discarded. Pets they do not sell in a week are thrown away, still very alive.<br />
<br />
Below are thousands of animals in these crates, ready for weekly shipment.<br />

These animals are often crammed in tiny cages, which leads to cannibalization of their own kind due to stress. These are all Syrian hamsters. These hamsters should be kept solely alone, or will kill and attack the other hamster.<br />

Thousands of PetSmart animals die in store, and the must-have is a freezer in the back room to put all of the dead animals. No kidding!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cruelty doesn't always happen in-store. It's actually Rainbow World Exotic's fault, the largest and leading animal supplier in the USA.</div>

So, after reading this, do you feel a little guilty? Maybe you bought a pet from PetSmart before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's best not to support this pet store, even by buying things from it. There are countless photos like these where people pledge to not buy pets from PetSmart so we can end all PetSmart and REW sales NOW. Will you pledge? Print off this picture from www.petsmartcruelty.com and take a photo of yourself with your pet. Instagram it, put it on FaceBook, or blog about it. Let's help stop PetSmart sales.</div>

Angora rabbits are cruelly killed, just to give people a fashionable look. The places are called fur farms, and this is what it looks like inside:</div>

Instead of shearing the wool away, they will snap the rabbit's neck, or gas them so it will not bleed, then remove it by machinery. A humane way to harvest angora fur is to shear the fur off with a quiet shearer, but apparently this takes too long.</div>

So, would you rather wear fur that wasn't yours in the first place, but was cruelly taken from a living being that owned it? I'll let you decide, but I personally would not put fashion over the life of an animal.</div>

In the United States, the three most common types of animal fighting are:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>Dogfighting</strong><br />
In organized dogfighting cases, two dogs are put into a ring or pit to fight until one cannot continue or dies. In street dogfighting cases, the level of organization is substantially lacking and fights occur, sometimes spontaneously, in secluded spots within city parks, school lots, alleys or other similar locations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>Cockfighting</strong><br />
Handlers attach a razor to each rooster’s leg (usually the left leg) and put them into a ring to fight to the death. Attendees often consider the events to be family entertainment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>Hog-dog fighting</strong> (Also known as “hog-dog trials” or “hog-dog rodeos”)<br />
In a “hog-catching” event, dogs (usually pit bulls) are put in a pen and timed for how quickly they can attack and pin a feral hog whose tusks have been cut off. Handlers may use a breaking stick to pry apart the jaws of the biting dogs. The attack on the hog may be fatal. In a “hog-baying” event, dogs are timed for how quickly they can corner a hog. Injuries can result from dogs biting hogs or defensive hogs throwing dogs in the air. Attendees consider the events to be family entertainment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>Issues common to animal fighting cases:</strong></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Organized animal fighting is usually a secretive industry and very difficult for law enforcement to infiltrate. Accordingly, it is rare for investigators to find a fight in progress.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Animal fighting activities attract other serious crimes, such as gambling, drug dealing, weapons offenses and money laundering. Children are commonly present at animal fighting events. Pet theft to acquire bait animals is also a common byproduct crime.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>In organized animal fighting cases in which law enforcement officers are able to seize the animals in a raid, there are usually a large number of animals who must be catalogued as evidence, provided with medical treatment, and sheltered during the pendency of the court case. Furthermore, security precautions may be necessary at the shelter venue because animals considered to be from “champion bloodlines” are in danger of being stolen.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Most animals who have been trained for organized fights are so aggressive that they ultimately must be euthanized. However, prosecutors can petition the court to appoint a guardian/special master to act in the animals’ best interests regarding their final disposition.

<strong>Issues specific to dogfighting cases:</strong></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Canine victims usually suffer ongoing neglect and cruelty during the “training” process. They are often: forced to wear heavy chains and run on treadmills; left outside without shelter; fed steroids to increase muscle mass; fed stimulants to make them aggressive in a fight; fed narcotics so they don’t feel pain in a fight; starved to make them aggressive or so they can “make weight” in a contract fight; and subjected to cruel amateur ear cropping and treatment for fighting injuries. Females may be confined in “rape boxes” for breeding.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Trainers may viciously kill dogs who refuse to fight or who lose fights. Killing methods include shooting, hanging, drowning and electrocution. In the “dog man’s” world, the credo is “Breed the best and bury the rest.”</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Trainers ruthlessly acquire animals to use as live bait. Acquisition methods include fraudulently acquiring dogs or cats from shelters or via “free to a good home” ads, setting up a sham rescue organization, or outright pet theft. The bait animals are often attacked and torn apart during training.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Some handlers may lace their dog’s coat with poison or paralytics to harm the opponent.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.3em;">
<li>Innocent people may become terrorized, fearing for themselves, their children or their pets because of criminal activity among neighbors and their vicious dogs who might get loose.</li>
</ul>

But your heart not your hand<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Have you heard the story of the pitbull that got trapped on ice and then when they brought him onto the news he bit the news woman's face? Well just think how would you like it if you got trapped on ice then got a camera shoved in you face when all you wanted was probably to just curl up at home with some hot cocoa to warm you up? Pitbulls are #2 on the sweetest, friendliest, non aggressive dog list. They are misunderstood and 1,000s of pitbulls get killed everyday just because they constantly get abused or made to fight other dogs or left at shelters because no one wants them when really they are extremely sweet friendly dogs ready to please their owner. Do you keep on hearing stories on how pitbulls will kill little kids? Do you know who said that? They are lying. Pitbulls are so sweet and will be ready at any second to protect you or just be your best friend. And always remember Adopt Don't Shop.</div>

I got her in 2009, she was also born in 2009, for the first 6 months of her life she was in a kill shelter with a cast on her right back foot. She was on her last day before they killed her when a group called last chance animal rescue group, they go to kill shelters and rescue pets that are on their last day. They happened to come into the shelter that day and Jinger was one of the cats they rescued fortunately. A few days later my brothers hamster died so we went to pet smart to get another one ( under my protest since our shelter had some cute ones) and I wanted to go see the cats since mom had promised me I could get one. I really wanted a girl cat but there was a certain cat that had won my heart, a few weeks after we moved in and while Jinger was in the shelter, I went onto a shelters website (the same one Jinger was in) and there was a beautiful cat a Gray one with ginger colored patches and a ginger stripe done her nose. When I looked at the cats at the pet store they were all males, then a worker came up to us and said "oh your looking for a female cat? I have one in my car I was about to bring in" so she brought the female cat in and said "this is Jinger we rescued here on her last day at a kill shelter"... It was the same cat I fell in love with on the website. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">She is now a happy healthy 4 year old cat and the shelter that she was at is now a no kill shelter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">~Jenna</div> </div>Jenna and Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10072468005659829238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224430653197999824.post-14427517113923906082013-12-19T10:43:00.003-08:002013-12-19T10:43:43.559-08:00Adopt Rabbits.....don't Shop!!!Julia here. My pet rabbit is the best bunny I could ever ask for, but before you go out and get a bunny at a pet store where your rabbit could be sick, keep in mind there are actually a huge selection of bunnies at your local adoption shelter.<br />
<span style="color: #4d4a45; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4d4a45; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4d4a45; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Continually overrun with abandoned rabbits, local shelters and rescues are the best place to find a new pet bunny. Not only will you save an animal from possible euthanasia, there are also several additional benefits.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4d4a45; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Rescues often have rabbits of varying sizes, breeds, and ages. So, if you were looking specifically for a young, agouti mini lop, you will most likely find a good fit at the local shelter. But, you also might surprise yourself and fall in love with an older mixed breed rabbit once you start looking.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Aside from the ability to choose from a wide selection of different kinds of rabbits, adopting from a shelter or rescue is also very convenient. Volunteers at rescues take the time to acclimate rabbits to living in apartments and houses. In this way, the time you would have to take to train the rabbit is cut down considerably.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
For example, volunteers will <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/tip_littertraining.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">litter box train the rabbits</a> as they come in, so although a rabbit may take a little while to adjust to living in a new home, you will not need to litter train your new bunny from scratch.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Furthermore, because a lot of rescued rabbits live in foster homes, many are accustomed to living in households with children and other pets. So if your household situation is similar, adopting a rabbit who is already comfortable in that environment makes the transition easier for both you and the rabbit.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
If you were interested in having multiple pet rabbits, you may be able to adopt a bonded pair or trio. This saves you the time and effort of <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/tip_bonding.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">bonding the rabbits</a> yourself. Adopting a bonded pair or trio is ideal if you work full time because the rabbits can entertain each other while you're gone.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In addition to saving a lot of time and effort, adopting a rabbit from a rescue also saves you money on vet bills. Rabbit rescues usually have partnerships with local vets, and rabbits will be <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/tip_spayneuter.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">spayed or neutered</a>. So you can adopt a rabbit after he or she has recovered from the surgery and not have to worry about paying for the procedure.</div>
<img alt="Vet checking rabbit's ear" class="left" src="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/images/vet2.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #1b1a19; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 2px 15px 10px 0px;" /><div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Moreover, some rabbits suffer from health conditions of varying severity. One common affliction is malocclusion, a condition where the rabbit's teeth are not aligned properly and the rabbit is unable to wear down his/her teeth.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
When you adopt from a rescue, all the rabbits will be checked for malocclusion as well as other afflictions. They will then be properly treated.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
If the rabbit has an chronic health issue, the rescue will alert potential new parents of the condition, so only those willing and able to care for the bunny can adopt him/her. If you purchase a rabbit from a breeder or pet store, they may not alert you to any pre-existing health problems.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1a19; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Finally, rescue volunteers are very knowledgeable. Before leaving you on your own with your new companion, they will make sure you know how to properly care for your bunny. Understanding the <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/behavior.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">behavior</a> and <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/care.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">needs</a> of your rabbit will be essential to creating a <a href="http://www.myhouserabbit.com/tip_affection.php" style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #133127; outline: none; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">rewarding, long-term relationship</a>. </div>

We made this blog because we love animals and want to stop cruelty, testing, and fur and meat trade. In a week Julia and I will be making a presentation to show our parents and hopefully more people about how cruelly animals are treated. Some of things we will cover in the presentation<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>animal fighting</li>
<li>meat and fur trade</li>
<li>puppy mills </li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>
if we can we will upload the presentation on here.</div>
