POPSMichael Vick's unpaid dues: Why dog advocates won't just "move on"
More: "Jumper cables were clipped onto the ears of underperforming dogs, then, just like with a car, the cables were connected to the terminals of car batteries before lifting and tossing the shamed dogs into the water. We don't know how many suffered this premeditated murder, but the damage to the pool walls tells a story. It seems that while they were scrambling to escape, they scratched and clawed at the pool liner and bit at the dented aluminum sides like a hungry dog on a tin can. "I wear some pretty thick skin during our work with dogs, but I can't shake my minds-eye image of a little black dog splashing frantically in bloody water ... screaming in pain and terror ... brown eyes saucer wide and tiny black white-toed feet clawing at anything, desperate to get a hold…The rescuer in me keeps trying to think of a way to go back in time and somehow…pull the little dog to safety. I think I'll be looking for ways to pull that dog out for the rest of my life."

POPSJudge Dismisses Animal Cruelty Charges Against Police Officer For Sex With Cows
"This is a legal question for me. It's not a questions of morals. It's not a question of hygiene. It's not a question of how people should conduct themselves." The dismissal reportedly irked the prosecution. "I think any reasonable juror could infer that a man's penis in the mouth of a calf is torment," a Burlington County assistant prosecutor, Kevin Morgan, said. "It's a crime against nature." The prosecution also claims a video in which a calf allegedly head-butts Malia was never seen by the grand jury, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. But this is not the end to Melia's legal woes. He, along with girlfriend Heather Lewis, were arrested in April 2008 for sexually assaulting three girls over a five-year-period. Authorities investigating those charges uncovered videos on his computer of a girl being "subjected to sexual activity" in addition to taped encounters between Melia and the calves, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

POPSGetting a prescriptiption for Low Dose Naltrexone(LDN) (Naltrexone Capsules 3mg & 4.5mg) and where 
Getting a prescriptiption for Low Dose Naltrexone(LDN) (Naltrexone Capsules 3mg & 4.5mg) and where to have to dispensed Not every GP will prescribe naltrexone (LDN) on the NHS as it is an unlicenced product, but many will and many more will issue a private prescription for it. When a patient gets an NHS prescription obtaining naltrexone (LDN) is usually not difficult. The only thing is that pharmacy the patient goes to will have to order it as a special, which means a wait of a few days. The patient may be able to obtain it free or pay the NHS prescription charge of £7.20 per item But when a private prescription is issued it becomes an issue of cost. As low dose naltrexone (LDN) is unlicensed it is not readily available and has to custom made by a licensed compounding laboratory and each laboratory will have their own pricing structure and therefore the cost to the patient for LDN varies enormously. There are some pharmacies (e.g www.merseybankpharmacy.co.uk ) which have m

POPSTeens Club for Animal Rights These days there are too many bad things that our children can get into...lack of supervision, boredom, low self esteem, peer pressure can all contribute. That's why it's important for them to know what goes on in this world and what part they can play in making a difference. By giving them a voice in something they believe in, is one way to keep their minds occupied. Nothing could feel better than knowing that they are saving the lives of animals...Humane Teen Clubs should be encouraged in our homes and in the schools..Our children need to learn that they can make a difference, everything is not hopeless ...I would be proud to know my child or grandchild joined in the fight against animal cruelty around the world and in their own community

POPSCops: Woman Taped Puppy To Refrigerator
Toll added, "I know this looks really bad, but the dog bites. He is aggressive." Jurczenia asked how long the puppy had been taped upside down to the side of the refrigerator. "Not long," Toll replied. "Like 20-30 minutes. It was just until he calmed down." The reports note that when Beck saw his dog stuck to the refrigerator, he told Toll, "Take him down," adding, "You are so sick!" Toll replied, "No, you are sick for not caring enough about me to get rid of the dog." The animal, whose paws had been bound with elastic hair ties, was clearly in pain and "yelped and screamed loudly" as cops worked to free him. "Rex just lay motionless, but breathing, on his kennel after he was removed from the tape." The puppy was handed over to the Boulder Valley Humane Society. Toll, seen in the above mug shot, was turned over to county jailers. Beck, who was arrested in connection with his scuffle with Toll, was not charged with animal abuse. Though he did reportedly tell police, "We were going to ge

POPSFelony Charges Filed in Massive Horse Seizure Brinkley failed to post $1 million bail on the assault charges and $50,000 on the animal abuse charges. He remains incarcerated. No court date has been set. At the time of their removal, the horses' body conditions ranged between 1 and 4 on the Henneke scale, said HSNT Equine and Livestock Program Coordinator Sandy Grambort. Three were euthanized and seven died from issues related to malnutrition. The cattle, donkey, llamas, and 25 horses have been adopted out. While the remaining horses await adoption, HSNT is coping with the massive seizure and its mounting costs. "It's cost us $40,000 so far. But we've had a lot of interest in the horses, so we're managing," Grambort said.
