Foreclosures Threaten Pets As Well As People. While many animal shelters already struggle on a day-to-day basis to care for the millions of unwanted animals that are dropped at their door, the numbers have grown to an almost unmanageable degree over the last few years. The culprit for this surge in animal homelessness is a testimonial to these trying times: human homelessness.

Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. Today they're about language. Lesson #7 Obsessing over language can become counterproductive. And this, coming from a person with a doctorate in Applied Linguistics. I can talk about language all day, every day. How it shapes our lives and our culture. How it changes because it's not static--it's alive.

This is pretty vile in my opinion. From the AP. A Malaysian government official defended an Indian company's plans to build an animal testing medicine lab in his state, saying Monday that God created monkeys and rats for experiments to benefit humans. The plans by India's Vivo BioTech Ltd. to set up a biotechnology center in southern Malacca state has come under fire by activists because it will conduct tests on dogs and primates to make medicines.

We recently got an email about the dangers currently being faced by our whale population as a result of a recent proposal to legalize commercial whaling. As whale lovers, and people who hope to one day be able to see them in the wild, we wanted to share this information with you in case you would like to get involved. The International Fund for Animal Welfare ( IFAW ), is a non-profit organization working to save animals in crisis worldwide, to help protect our oceans’ whale population.

When we brought Baby home as a little puppy, we didn’t know about GW Little or these awesome poochie bells. We did train Baby to use a bell at the door when she needs to go out, but it isn’t nearly as pretty to look at as these poochie bells are. They are on our pet wish list. I have to admit, we felt pretty smart using a bell chime that we had as a make shift doggy door bell!

ORLANDO, FL (May 26, 2010) — Open Wide! Proud Parents Feed Their Chick at SeaWorld Orlando. A tawny frogmouth chick, hatched April 11, gets fed by its mother, while the father looks on. In less than a year, six chicks have been hatched at SeaWorld and all are now thriving. Until recently, the population of tawny frogmouths in North American zoos was facing extinction — and breeding programs were largely unsuccessful.

After all this time it seems that. the Island's sideways world was a purgatory of sorts where the Oceanic 815 survivors were supposed to learn more lessons or go one way or the other (good or bad), but Desmond intervened to bring them all together and move forward to the light. Oh wait, wrong series (and by the way I watched only the last season of Lost, so I could be completely wrong about the above).

People are apparently getting more pissed at both Obama AND BP. This situation totally sucks. I just think the minute that rig blew up, the result was inevitable. I think that the magnitude of this disaster is not a question of cleanup, but of prevention in the first place. We can get mad at BP and Obama, but the problem is that this was a disaster waiting to happen.

My Hollywood Pets is an online shop that offers great products for your dog (and for cats too). Baby the Maltese recently got the chance to try out their frog costume. The costume is not only totally adorable, it is also very well made! The fabric is very soft cotton, with embroidered frog eyes on the hood. It’s a one piece jumpsuit style, with the tummy and rear open for easy bathroom use.

With summer arriving soon, more time will be spent in the park and on walks with our furry friends. I am happy to share this great product, chicBuds , that can give you a bit of style while you listen to your tunes on your walks with your dog. Not only do they look great, but the chicBuds earphones are retractable! This makes them easy to take with you in a purse, and also makes it so you only have to let out as much, or as little, of the cord that you need.

Pelicans unable to fly due to being coated with oil. It's the Exxon Valdez all over again. Several pelicans were coated in oil on Barataria Bay off Louisiana, their usually brown and white feathers now jet black. Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-colored gunk, and new hatchlings and nests were also coated with crude. It is unclear if the area can even be cleaned, or if the birds can be saved.

In this article, they admit they underestimated the scope of the oil slick. This article talks about how BP skipped some testing of cement linings hours before the explosion occured. These cement linings were basically the well's seal. How did this decision contribute to the disaster? Tags: oil drilling British Petroleum 2010 oil spill pollution.

I am not a fan of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Aside from their support of animal research, I have enountered them in my line of work and find them corporate, condescending, and self-righteous. However, I can hardly believe that they would actually partner with KFC (KFC!!!) for cancer research. It's not just a question of animal rights. Chickens that are used for KFC products are horribly treated.

Victoria's Secret was selling what? I didn't know they were doing this in the first place! And I just bought something from them last month for the first time. Anyway, I'm wondering if the decision could have been influenced by PETA's investigation of how reptiles are being skinned alive for these sales. This PETA post doesn't claim the credit though.

Here's an interesting perspective on the practice of some religious groups' (such as Buddhist monks') practice of purchasing birds from pet stores and then releasing them. This writer contends that the birds are not suited to the wild and actually end up starving or being eaten by cats. Also, the practice of purchase and release creates a market for the capture of these birds in the first place.
