All Animal

As a member of the Humane Society of United States, I get the All Animal issues about animals.  In the July / August issue of 2010, there are some very disturbing pictures...

 <-- "Many dogs don't look quite ... right.  ...piles of dog feces.  There is also trash everywhere, and shoddy fencing made of plywood and rusted metal wiring, and busted-up sofa in the driveway ... chunks of its yellow, weather-stained foam litter the yard.
"The HSUS, United Animal Nations, and the Mississippi Animal Rescue League--have a job to do, and that job requires balancing their pity for this woman with pity for the animals she's been keeping."

 <-- "Some dogs in the Mississippi home had been breeding, exacerbating an already overcrowded situation with the addition of the new puppies."

 <-- HSUS responders who helped in Mississippi home come directly from the Tennessee, where they had assisted the Grainger County Humane Society in removing 120 cats from a dilapidated home."

"Missouri animal lovers have launched a campaign to require basic care standards for dog breeding facilities in their state, known as the puppy mill capital of America."

From the issue of "Animal Factory" by David Kirby

"No Relief .. What's bad for the animals is bad for the environmenl: Waste from egg-laying hens, packed en masse into spaces so small they can't even spread their wings, runs off into sensitive waterways."

I like this line when i read the article .. " If I were Mother Nature, I would say 'Enough is enough.' .. 'nature is going to deliver one swift kick in the butt to us, and the best that environmentalists will be able to say is, 'I told you so.' And I don't know what that's going to be worth.  There'll be no value in that because it'll be too late."
