POPSBirds first, not your pesky moggie. It will never be enforced. Blackpool Council withdrew the mandate for Fishers Field in South Shore where it was said to have been left for children to play football - if there are any Americans reading this, that is the gentlemans game played by overpaid children, sorry soccer. I bumped into a former professional footballer who was taking his little boy and their dog on the field for exercise. Well not really! The child would get his exercise and the dog would have a shit. Okay, perhaps picked up by the intelligent soccer player. But the Parvo Virus cannot be picked up in a plassie bag!!! There are few dog owners who actually carry cleaning fluid along with all the accessories for cleaning up after their pets. Unfortunately they are so few, and the irrepsonsible so many.

POPSTale of half-frozen cat named Icee
Over the next few hours, Steinbeiser and shelter workers keep substituting warm towels for the ones that have cooled down, a never-ending relay from the laundry room to the office where they've set up the temporary kitty ICU. They inject subcutaneous fluids. A dehydrated cat can't maintain its body temperature, and this was clearly a dehydrated cat, maybe so dehydrated there's been organ damage. By afternoon, he is stirring a bit when people approach, opening his eyes, reaching out a paw. They substitute the warmed-towel approach with a cozy crate next to a heater. He looks somewhat more alert. But his heartbeat remains erratic. The tension that's been swirling about the shelter for the last 36 hours dissipates. The staff, a little emotional about the miracle that blew in with first big snowstorm of the season, names him Icee.

POPSUndercover Investigation Shows the Horrors of the Pork Industry
You don’t have to be a licensed veterinarian to understand the level of suffering these animals endured before being haphazardly slaughtered for pork products that were sent to stores in New England including Shaws, Hannaford and Stop and Shop under the brand name Hatfield’s. While abuse of this nature is commonly associated with factory farming, much of what’s depicted in the footage are standard industry practices on any farm, large or small, from the confinement of gestation crates so small they cause sores to mercilessly killing the runts of the litter. “What we documented is standard and largely accepted by the pork industry and as a civilized society it’s our moral obligation to make sure animals don’t suffer needless cruelty. It’s important we look at these animals the same way we look at dogs and cats because there is no difference. They feel the same pain, the same joy our beloved animals at home do,” said Daniel Hauff, MFA Director of Investigations.
