I Def Support The Fight Against Animal Cruelty.. Sorry, But I Will Not Watch The Videos And Stuff Posted, Just Cause I Can't Personally Handle Them, But I Know What It's About And I Know That Animal Cruelty Is Something That Isn't Taken As Seriously As It Should Be.. I Love Animals Too Much To See The Outcome Of Cruel Inhumane People That Torture And Abuse Innocent Wonderful Creatures...

animals have feelings too. And, like, humans, they feel pain as well. When a young puppy is too young at a certain stage in it's life, it is too helpless to defend it's self when being abused, or neglected. As for grown dogs, yeah they can defend themselves by fighting and biting back when they are in danger. however, if a grown dog is too weak, sick, or too old to fight back, then unforntuately they too, suffer at the hands of humans. Any animal, whether it is a dog, a cat, a bird, a hamster whatever the animal may be, NO animal does NOT need or does NOT deserve to be mistreated. Animals depend on us for their survival. For one, they need us for companionship. For two, they need us to feed them. For three, they need us to love them. Four, they need us to respect them. And, Five: they need us humans to give them a good heart filled warm loving home. But one thing that is for certain: animals need us to help protect them against this necgelct, mistreatings, and abuse. Anyone that abuses an animal whether its a slap in the face, or even a punch that is abuse! even if a person is seen doing it, there ARE conseqences. PLEASE do something. adopt a pet to help it not suffer from abuse , or donate money to help those stary animals find a loving home. REMEMBER, ANIMALS ARE OUR FRIENDS, STOP THE ABUSE NOW!!!!!

to those that speak of humans first...i say...listen up. we are here to protect all living things. humans are on their own as far as that goes. help your fellow man, love your fellow man, but animals are ours to protect and love. everyone should care.

who knows why people abuse animals. they might do it for the pleasure of watchin there animal wince in pain and cry out for help. all i know is when you look into the eyes of beaten animals all you see is pain, hurt, and fear like thet are waiting for the next punch or kick. All i have to say is it makes me sick when someone abuses an animal. animal abuse has to STOP NOW!! pets and strays dont deserve to be beaten. when i watch the videos of animal cruelty it makes me cry within the first min. of it.

Wait..this can't be happening!!</center><center><br />So I look over to the CO and the women taking notes and they both gave me a sad look and said you have to go now.</center><center><br />I said no, please...I can't do 28 days here...and..I don't have any money. </center><center><br />So I started trembling and at that point, I felt so alone and helpless that my body started to shake uncontrollably. </center><center><br />The prison guard took me out of there and then 2 more guards came and brought me to medical. I was hyperventilating at that point asking for help. </center><center><br />The doctor and nurse came in and asked me to relax or they would have to hold me there for observation. I couldn't stop trembling and they took me to a room stripped me of my cloths and gave me these blankets made out of this foam material to wrap around myself. I sat in that room for 3 hours trembling in fear. Then the doctor finally came back and asked me how I was feeling. I said I was fine and wanted to go back to my pod. He said as long as you are not feeling suicidal, it would be OK, but they had to make sure I wouldn't try to take my blanket or sheet and hang myself or anything. </center><center><br />I said no that I was fine and that I wanted to go back to my pod. I was hungry and needed to eat my lunch that I left in my cage that's all. Please, I couldn't stand being on that room anymore. He said OK, but didn't come back to release me until an hour or so later. In which case they gave my back my jumper, underwear, socks and shoes and released me. I went back to my pod and went to my room. </center><center><br />I asked my bunk-mate where my tray was and he said they took it. I told him what happened and that I was really hungry. He offered me one of his roman noodles soups he got from commissary and I thanked him with all of my heart for it. I had no money for commissary cause when they arrested me I had only $55 and they take $50 to book you and charged me $5 for the medical visit (i later found out) and...my bunk-mate was a really good guy. </center><center><br />His name was Gilberto and he was a Mexican gentleman from Oaxaca Mexico, but lived in Asbury now working. He was there on a 2 month sentence for driving with a suspended licence. He said he needed to drive for work or he could not work and make any money, but they caught him and he had been there a month already. </center><center><br />The soup tasted really good and I thanked him with all my heart again. He shared some sweet bread he had bought from commissary on another occasion and gave me an orange he had left over on another. He was a good man. Kind hearted and no meanness what-so-ever. </center><center><br />I sat there eating my soup trying to figure out what to do. I knew the only hope I had of getting out was trying to beg my sister to go to a bail bondsman and put up the 10%, $500 dollars to bail me out. This I found out later was going to take another 20 days for her to agree to. She didn't have the money either and I was completely broke. And even if I was able to get the $500 somehow, my credit would not have been good enough for the bail bondsman to agree to put up the full $5,000 </center><center> <br />On 6/5/2009. My sister bailed me out by putting up the $530 they bondmans charged and I thanked her with all my heart for doing so. If she hadn't, I would still be in sitting that cage...that JUDGE put me into. ..she is a good woman...and I will repay heR in anyway I can...</center><center><br />More to come... <br /><br /><font size="2">DREHER'S JAMAICAN PREGNANCY STUDY More Suppression of Marijuana Research In the 1980s Melanie Dreher and colleagues at UMass Amherst began a longitudinal study to assess the well-being of infants and children whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy. The researchers lived in rural Jamaican communities among the women they were studying. Thirty cannabis-using pregnant women were matched for age and socio-economic status with 30 non-users. Dreher et al compared the course of their pregnancies and their neo-natal outcomes, using various standard scales. No differences were detected three days after birth. At 30 days the exposed babies did better than the non-exposed on all the scales and significantly better on two of the scales (having to do with autonomic stability and reflexes). Follow-up studies were conducted when the kids were four and five (just before entering school and after). The moms were defined as light users (1-10 spliffs per week), moderate (11-20), and heavy (21-70). Consumption of ganja tea was also taken into account. The children were measured at age four using three sets of criteria: the McCarthy scale, which measures verbal ability, perceptivity, quantitative skills, memory and motor; a "behavioral style" scale measuring temperament, based on a 72-item questionnaire filled out by the child's primary caregiver; and a "quality of housing" index to indicate socioeconomic status.

Montana horse slaughter bill becomes law without governor's signature

Buzz up! Print.HELENA, Mont. (AP) --
Legislation to allow investor-owned horse slaughterhouses in Montana and limit opportunities for legal action against them became law on Friday, after Gov. Brian Schweitzer neither signed nor vetoed the measure.
Friday was the deadline for Schweitzer to act and, with no action by him, House Bill 418 automatically became law.
The bill includes some protection against court injunctions that would stop or delay slaughterhouse construction. The measure sponsored by Rep. Ed Butcher, R-Winifred, aims to limit the kind of legal challenges that forced the last U.S. slaughterhouses, which were in Illinois and Texas, to close in 2007.
During the 2009 legislative session, which ended Tuesday, Schweitzer rejected the limit on legal action. He said it would strip people of appeal rights important in environmental protection. The Legislature then rejected the changes Schweitzer wanted.
Butcher said during the session that the governor's amendments would make the bill "an empty shell because nobody's going to invest five to six million in a
business in Montana if they're going to be harassed."
Schweitzer has said that as an owner of livestock and horses, he supports the humane processing of horses to produce meat for human consumption.
His communications director, Sarah Elliott, issued a terse statement Friday, saying only that "the governor made his opinion on this bill known, the Legislature did the same. No action was taken and the bill has now become law."
The bill brought lawmakers and the governor a flood of e-mails and telephone messages, from across the country, in support of the legislation and against it.

Too many horses: Northwest tribes consider slaughter facility for wild horses

WARM SPRINGS INDIAN RESERVATION-Here on this reservation in north-central Oregon, horses are woven deeply into daily life. They are traditionally used by tribal members in their work and their culture, whether it be for rodeos or horse parades.
Gathering, breaking and selling wild horses has long been part of the tribe's economy. Horses that don't make the grade are sold for slaughter.
But the nation's final three slaughterhouses were shuttered two years ago, and a perfect storm has formed with a glut of horses, lack of a market and economic recession.
Tribal rangeland managers now estimate 20,000 wild horses are overrunning Indian Country in Washington, Idaho and Oregon, with an annual foal crop raising the population by some 20 percent a year. At the Yakama reservation, range managers say 12,000 wild horses are damaging medicinal plants, depleting forage for wildlife, eroding fragile rangelands and harming salmon streams. Domestic animals, including cattle, add to the problem.
"We have been spending billions on salmon and steelhead recovery, and it goes for naught if we don't do something that fixes these other problems," said Arlen Washines, program manager for the Yakama Nation Wildlife Program.
Agricultural and rangeland experts from five tribes have been meeting quietly since last winter to explore options to manage horse populations on reservation lands. Their ideas, still in discussion, run the gamut. The most controversial: opening a slaughter plant at the Warm Springs reservation, and maybe someday packing the meat for human consumption overseas, if the regulatory hurdles can be cleared and economics pencil out.
The Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition, as the working group calls itself, says it wants to save and care for the horses with better management of the herds. The group is exploring adoption and contraception, but issued a draft report that declares some wild horses will have to be killed to rebalance the ecosystem. The coalition believes horse-slaughtering facilities are needed now-starting with a plant at Warm Springs.
There used to be a thriving horse market in this country, with buyers bidding on horses for processing plants in Stanwood, Wash.; Maytown, Wash.; and more than 20 other plants across the country, supplying an eager trade, particularly in Europe.
But the country's remaining three horse slaughterhouses, in Illinois and Texas, closed in 2007 after a sustained campaign by animal-rights activists that resulted in Congress forbidding USDA inspection of horse meat for human consumption. That ended any legal commercial packing industry for horse meat in this country.
Still, there is a demand for horse meat, particularly in Europe. But with no packer competition in the U.S. to supply it, and a glut of horses, foreign packers can set their price.
Trucking the animals long distances to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico also means buyers will take only the fattest, biggest animals.
For the sick, the old and the skinny, today there is often no market at any price. Buyers who remember paying 70 cents a pound at auction are today paying as little as 6 cents a pound-if the packers will even take the animal.
And the problem stretches far beyond Indian Country.
The bottom has fallen out of the horse market just as the recession is driving even owners of pedigreed, suburban stock to unload animals they can't afford to care for, overwhelming rescue and shelter operators.
It's the same story for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which is struggling to feed and care for some 30,000 wild mustangs gathered from public rangelands and put out to pasture in the Midwest in deference to opponents of slaughter.
The BLM is paying $27 million this year alone to feed and care for wild horses living out their days at taxpayer expense. With another 30,000 or so wild mustangs still roaming the range, multiplying every year, the costs are growing. So far, the BLM has no solution to the problem.
Jenny Edwards, executive director of Hope for Horses, a nonprofit horse-rescue organization based in Woodinville, Wash., said that while she is no fan of slaughter, it is a necessary option. "We have to be big boys and girls about this-be realistic," Edwards said.
"It was part of the economic circle of life. It was the legitimate outlet for horses that were unusable for other purposes."
The Northwest Tribal Horse Coalition, composed of members of the Yakama and Colville tribes in Washington, the Umatilla and Warm Springs tribes in Oregon, and Shoshone Bannock in Idaho, wants a rendering plant at Warm Springs where live horses from the reservations and beyond could be slaughtered. The meat and carcasses would be processed for nonhuman consumption and disposal.
Markets for the meat, such as zoos, are being explored. Jason Smith, range and agriculture manager at Warm Springs, has traveled to Canada to examine packing plants.
Several states, including Montana, also are looking into the possibility of reviving U.S. horse slaughter.
They all face an uphill battle with animal-rights activists seeking to restrict slaughter even further. Legislation is pending in Congress to outlaw transporting U.S. horses to slaughter-anywhere.
"It's not an option," said Katie Merwick, president and founder of Second Chance Ranch, a horse-rescue operation in Elma, Wash. "It's not conscionable, it's not moral. It's a horrible, scary transport and a violent death."
She said euthanasia is the only acceptable alternative. While it's expensive-it can cost $750 to put down and haul away a horse-it's cheaper than keeping the animal, and can be paid for in installments, Merwick said. "I guarantee if it was to fix your car, you'd find the money," Merwick said.
But people are simply dumping their animals because they see no other choice, Edwards said.
"Horses are being just abandoned," she said. "All over the place, all over the country."
(EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE)
The lack of a viable horse-slaughter market has disrupted tribes' traditional relationships with their horses. "They fooled with our culture and our livelihood and our right to work," said Smith, at Warm Springs.
Here on the reservation, horses peer from rimrock cliffs, doze in the sagebrush, and streak in free-running herds across the flats at the base of Mount Jefferson, looking every bit the icon of the West some people think they are.
The highways on the reservation are posted with signs depicting the streaming mane and tail of a running wild horse. On the 1,000-square-mile reservation, fences are few, and horses have the right of way. "You hit it, you buy it," is how it goes around here.
But on this reservation horses aren't icons or romantic abstractions. "We break and sell the best of our horses, and with no horse market, there has to be an out for the old ones, the sick ones, the ones that just don't make the cut," Smith said. "That is a huge part of our management. Without it they are neglected, overlooked. When you neglect one part of the circle, it affects the rest."
At Yakama, other factors have also contributed to the horse problem, including the preference among some tribal horsemen for highly bred, pedigreed animals for use in rodeos and even for status, Washines at Yakama said.
"It affects how people look at wild horses on the reservation. They are not papered, so ... they don't mean anything to anybody. It has affected the spiritual connection to the horse," Washines said. "The two biggest problems is the shutdown of the market for the horse, and the lack of interest in the horse itself.
" ... They just leave them out there and nobody thinks about them, they don't have anything to eat, they eat themselves out of their home range areas and they just stay in the same place. People say just leave them alone, they will be all right. Well, horses don't eat rocks that I know of."
