POPSHuckabee: cover up for son's cruel deed reflects dad's ethics Mike Huckabee allegedly covered up for his son David's cruelty to a dog. Do we want a person with Huckabee's lack of ethics in the White House? A bit more from the article (but please read even more at the source): "David Huckabee did not respond to requests for comment. (In April of this year, he was arrested—and paid a fine—when he forgot to remove a loaded gun from his carry-on luggage at Little Rock airport.) His father told NEWSWEEK THAT his son did not engage in "intentional torture." "There was a dog that apparently had mange and was absolutely, I guess, emaciated."A campaign official says David "regrets" the incident and notes that he later made Eagle Scout. Congrats on attaining Eagle Scout rank, David. :roll:

POPSSorry Again I don't like any kind of discrimination. Pitbulls, rottweilers etc are not the problem, humans are. If you can stomach it, watch this video. Beware! Graphic images, but WATCH it anyway! Do not turn away from what goes on and the suffering millions of animals must endure every day. Day after day after day. Who is the real killer? Working in animal welfare, I have seen such horrific cruelty from the hand of man, that it simply defies description. I can guarantee you, that the real and overwhelming problem we face is not some breed, but mankind's vicious and brutal treatment of our fellow creatures on this earth, including each other. "Punish the deed, not the breed." Please help fight and punish the real killer....and it is not the dogs! "The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it treats it's animals." -- Mahatma Gandhi

POPSGene Mutation Linked To Cognition I worry what the Chinese are going to use this data for. Are they going to argue, that their horrific treatment of so many animals is "okay" because animals are too dumb to know or feel what's happening to them?

POPSUS Senator Dumps His Pregnant Dog at Pound
I am an advocate for the State of South Carolina and for Animal Rights, especially "getting your Pet Spayed and Neutered in SC". This is my Animal Care Blog: http://animalcare-sc.blogspot.com/ South Carolina is a wonderful, beautiful and unique place to live. When I hear such discusting displays of negligence and uncaring it hurts my heart to detail it, when it is a blight on my Community and yet another shame for my State. However, this story is already "out there" and it needs to be addressed. One of our SC Senators is grossly incapable of compassion, running his own household, spaying and neutering his pets, and really should not be in charge of other people's lives. It's a shame. But do you really want men without compassion running your State and leading your Nation? So, it's about a dumb dog? NO. It's about the "heart condition" and "neglect of responsibility" of one of our so called Leaders. Lead Men "by example," if not, go sell shoes or "DO" something else!

POPSKangaroo Abuser Cites Man's 'Dominion' A reward has been offered if anyone knows anything about Tyson's whereabouts. As for the laws, the defense and the cruelty itself? Where to begin? Zoos in Canada only have regulations for native animals such as bears or coyotes. Keepers have no rules for exotic animals, including lions, tigers or kangaroos. "McElroy was brought to court for her manner with native animals and unfortunately it has nothing to do with Tyson's well-being," she said.

POPSMichael Vick's (NFL Quarterback) home used for dogfighting This is sickening. Sadly, because of his athletic ability, Michael Vick is a hero to many. But the more time passes, the more it seems clear that he is a complete lowlife jerk. I hope he gets severely punished if he, in fact, was involved with this horrible treatment of dogs.

POPSInside Puppy Mills I think people who are willing to pay big bucks for a certain breed of puppy...are enabling this kind of mass production... Somebody needs to call Paris Hilton...put your money to good works for a change. Maybe she and Nicole need to get a job in a Puppy Mill..and get a little taste of reality for the life of the animals they love...

POPS7 yr old goes on croc feeding frenzy at zoo Neindorf said he was now looking at suing the parents of the pint-sized terror, who could easily have been taken by Terry himself as he fed the croc from a small landing at his enclosure. "We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.

POPSPennsylvania Court Finds Animal Abuse Is Legal You tell me, if you don't think this constitutes animal abuse?!? I'm shocked and horrified at the "not-guilty" verdict. It's simply horrendous! A sickening verdict. Grrrr..... # birds overcrowded in wire cages so small, they cannot spread their wings, # hens left to suffer from untreated illnesses or injuries, # birds with their wings, legs, or feet entangled in the wires of cages, unable to access food or water, # injured or dying birds removed from their cages and left in the aisles without access to food or water, # birds impaled on the wires of the cages with many found already dead as a result of the painful immobilization, and # hens living in cages amongst decomposing bodies of other birds. “If these animals had been dogs or cats, there’s little doubt this case would have resulted in a conviction. There is a clear double standard here, and that hypocrisy is troubling.”

POPSMan fed cats, kittens live to pit bulls I think that this guy should be injured and fed to some very big hungry cats, oh like maybe tigers or lions. Never one to wish harm on anyone, I cannot help myself when it comes to animals.

POPSImagine world without suffering... ...And this world is just step away. Away from killing. Animal, birds, fish... whoever we (most of us now) are eating. God (Mother Nature, Karma, whatever it is) not forgiving us for breaking its rules to live in harmony with surrounding world and punishing us for our ignorance. If only diabetes! Whole metabolic syndrome with depressions and host of mood disorders, disfiguring obesity, heart failure as direct result. Everything starting from what we putting in our mouths. Far from everything what we can chew and swallow can be good for your body! Watch what you eating and drinking! Educate yourself. You will be terrified what we doing now and inevitably come to the vegan lifestyle, where is no place for cruelty, diseases, tricks and sufferings.
