Ugh, this is barbaric and right out of the dark ages. A declawed, defanged bear is chained to a stake as hunting dogs bark and snap, trying to force the bear to stand on its hind legs. Animalrights advocates say it's cruel to the nearly defenseless bears and harms them psychologically. From the AP.
The Brits are known for their animalrights activism, but there's been a rise in wildlife crime against all animals. Badgers are being caught for dog-baiting. Tags: wildlife crime UK animalcruelty. I don't get it. Apparently they are seen as nuisances. Bats are being targeted.
Is what he did consciously to his pitbulls that much worse than what we do unconsciously to animals every day? Some of us forget that dogs are mere animals, and that animal mistreatment is as American as Apple iPods. Like Vick, most of us shamelessly abuse and kill animals.
A funny, heart-warming video called “ SMILE ,” developed by “I’m Tired of” (ITo), the makers of the popular “I’m Tired of AnimalCruelty” bracelet, which raises money for animalrights and rescue charities, has reached viral levels. People have responded incredibly well to our approach.”.

The fallout from the huge puppy mill seizure is fueling calls for a review of Quebec's animalrights laws, which are abysmal even for Canada. Animal welfare workers are calling for stricter laws on breeding facilities after more than 500 allegedly malnourished dogs were seized from a Quebec puppy farm last week.
Meat-packing companies might encourage, for example, an increased dog population to take up the slack. One suspects that the SPCA and the American Humane Society have done more to stop cruelty to animals than vegetarians ever could.
