NEWS AND VIEWS – SOMEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES: Chloe Mitchell adopted a female tabby cat from a shelter. We don’t know the name and address of the shelter! She paid the shelter US$900 which is an awful lot for a shelter cat. It goes well beyond the normal shelter adoption fee. Mitchell has a …

The picture (words added by me) from Twitter sums up what I mean about sport hunters being AHs (arseholes). Yep, I am being rude. Being rude is mild compared to the death and destruction that sport hunters hand out to wildlife often on the African continent where corrupt officials sell expensive licenses to shoot their …
This is another form of gratuitous violence against wild animals enjoyed by a small section of society in Ontario, Canada; the extremist sport hunters. They are a blood thirsty lot, aren’t they? Without morals and any vestige of sensitivity towards the sentience of animals. Their behavior baffles most people. Penned hunting of wild animals such …

When people think of pollinators they normally think of bees. That’s because we enjoy seeing them in the daytime pollinating plants. But bees are under stress from insecticides and industrial farming. The numbers are falling. Without the pollination of bees all the plants that they pollinate would be lost. The BBC says that a world …

Removing spiders from the home is problematic. Animal advocate Nathan Winograd has told me that one’s instinct to remove a spider from your home is problematic as many species of spider in any country make your home their home. They are house spiders. It depends on your attitude. If you hate spiders and are terrified …
NEWS AND VIEW: The tweet says: “On June 2, in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, puppy followed a customer into a hairdressing salon (my comment: actually, looks like a nail salon). The male clerk used a bag and caught the dog and threw him to the ground. According to an insider, the puppy followed the customer into …
The picture below encouraged me to write this post. Also, the fact that I have first-hand experience of being bloated by cow’s milk because of lactose intolerance. I sense that most people don’t know if they are lactose intolerant. They might not have heard of it. They accept that they become bloated after eating and …

This is the message that you can’t as a decent meat-eating person ignore: go vegan. And I say that as a meat-eater. But over a period of about 8 years, I have gradually weaned myself of meat. I still eat a small amount of chicken but that’ about it. It has taken a long time …
For me, this is an interesting juxtaposition of how a gaseous chemical, nitrous oxide a.k.a. laughing gas can be used successfully on animals in veterinary clinics to sedate them safely but which is abused by humans to the point where it harms them seriously. It is an intersection between animals and humans with nitrous oxide …

Well, this is an interesting video as it shows an alleged dog abuser and killer in a pre-trial court hearing representing himself as he sacked his attorney. This gave him the opportunity to allegedly perjure himself. I use the word ‘allegedly’ and ‘alleged’ to protect myself from defamation as the trial is pending. It’ll happen …

The words used by this great guy are so intense in describing his relationship with one of his two dogs. He’s talking about his deaf dog who looks after his other dog who is deaf and blind. It’s amazing. He uses sign language to communicate with them. He believes human body language is a more …

This is a weakness in UK animal welfare in my view. It’s a weakness in the legislation which has been highlighted by Laura Harris MP in the House of Commons in a debate which was very sparsely populated by members of Parliament by the way. Indicative of MP attitudes to animal welfare?? She refers to …

Judging by the language spoken by the sport hunter which you can hear in the video, I would assess this to be an Eastern European country. They do have backward views about hunting in that area of the European continent. It’s all part of their tradition. Traditional activities like hunting are very backward in modern …

It is estimated that 25,000-30,000 dogs are being slaughtered DAILY for food in China, the world’s largest consumer of dog meat (source: https://plushbearsshelter.org). This truck was seen on Shanxi Yuncheng Expressway, May 23rd 2023. What do people in general thing about this? I know that many people in the West hate it. Detest it. We …

The title tell us this: we are discovering for the first time ever new species of plants and animals but at the same time we’ve decided that these new species (to humans) are going extinct because of human behavior. It is a bit sick that. There must be species on the planet that we have …
