PUPPY MILLS - ONLINE AUCTIONING OF ANIMALS:

Michele Rohe Animal Rescue Benson, North Carolina responded:

Mel is the reason why there are so many animals being euthanized everyday in this country. With his ignorant response, I can see why he had no luck adopting from a shelter or rescue on petfinder.org. I would never adopt to him either. I find that adoption fees are hardly over the top, and neither are the requirements. The people that have adopted from us are always very happy to do whatever it takes to adopt the animal they have fallen for. People such as "Mel" obviously have no idea how much time, energy, money, and emotions it takes to save these little creatures and make them healthy, happy, and adoptable. There would be no way on this earth I would place an animal with anyone that wouldn't allow a home visit, and reference check. These are simple painless steps to adopting a wonderful pet that has been rehabilitated both physically and mentally by a caring rescue.
Rescues never make money on an animal and the adoption fee is just a small percentage of the money that has been spent on an animal for vetting. Even simple a check up, spay/neuter, shots, deworming, and food run into the hundreds, easily. Lets not even mention the hundreds surgery and the like can cost.
MEL... YOU are the one who is KEEPING PUPPYMILLS IN BUSINESS!!!

POLICE SHOOTING:

Ms. Jean Isachenko Waterloo, Ontario responded:

Late last year in July, 2 police officers came to the house asking people in the neighborhood if they had seen a suspect. When they entered the house, the male officer told me to put my dogs away or he was going to shot them. Both my dogs are Sharpei, one is a 10-year old female and the other is a 5-year old male. They never barked or growled at either of them. Well without thinking, I immediately told the male officer that if he shot either dog , that that would be his first mistake, because if he pulled his gun I would grab it and shot him between the eyes myself. They immediately left. My husband told me later that I was lucky that they didn't arrest me for threatening bodily harm. I was kind enough to let them in, and the male officer threatened to shoot my dogs. I don't think so. Nobody, and I mean nobody, threatens to harm my dogs.

WHEN HORSE SLAUGHTER HITS HOME - LIZ'S STORY
=========================================
"I bought Lady out of a warm up ring at a show that I was showing at. Silly me thought they were beating her to death, didn't know that's how they trained halter horses when no one was looking. I walked her down the road (22 miles) to the barn I was boarding at, couldn't get her in a trailer she was so spooked. I spent the rest of the year working with her, loving her, telling her my whole life story so she would know who I was, and I never laid a hand on her. After about 7 months I took her back into the show ring, she took 5th out 27 in halter. She did absolute beautifully, and I never had to use a crop. I still have that ribbon and will to the day I die, to me it was gold.

Lady kept getting fatter and fatter and the work outs didn't seem to help, we changed her grain rations fed her less hay but nothing seemed to work. I finally called the vet. Lady was in foal and would deliver in less then a month. Nice people didn't let me know that they had bred her just before I purchased her. Lady had a beautiful filly which I kept until she was trained then I had to sell her do to financial reasons.

Lady gave me many years of companionship, she was there when I was pregnant with my son, she was there as I slowly lost friends to drugs, she was my rock, my one true friend who I could always count on, she was my therapist, she was my world.

After many years of service I decided it was time for her to have time to be a horse, to frolic carefree in the pastures, to have horse friends of her own. I thought that moving her to a boarding facility that had trainers and vets on the premises would keep her happy and healthy for the rest of her life.

I called once a week to check on her, I visited once a month. Then as I was planning my wedding (second) I let time slip between visits something I will regret to the day I die. After returning from my honeymoon I called to check on her, they told me everything was fine. I decided to go for a visit the next week, that's when I found out she had been gone for two months. I panicked called everyone I knew. I filed a police report and was assigned an investigator, a lot of help they were. I started combing the country side, knocking on every door that had a barn, walking thru barns when I couldn't find anyone around, I talked to anyone I could. I sent the police to places I couldn't get in. I finally found traces of her, people started telling me of how they had her there for a week or two but then she was moved. I was only one day behind her when they panicked and took her to Dekalb.

This I found out after. When a horse arrives in good flesh and coat they are moved to the head of the line. They do not check for brands or tattoo's, they will check for the chips but only to remove them before slaughter so they don't taint the meat. They also know that these horses are probably stolen. This was testimony under oath in the Dupage County Court House for those who don't believe that this is true, by three employees of the Dekalb slaughter house.

The police finally went into the slaughter plant after many phone calls to them, my worst fear was true. I would be allowed to pick her hide out of all the hides they had, seems they save for cases of stolen horses. I would then be reimbursed for the amount they bought her. I could not take a dime, I wanted them to know she didn't have a price tag on her head and all the money in the world would not give her back to me. I just wanted to have her nuzzle me, call out to me. I wanted them to know what they did was so wrong, I couldn't let them win by paying me off. I know its bad to hate and you should turn the other cheek, but I can't. While hate did consume me the first few years I have found that I can hate these people and still have a happy life. I just can't let the hate let them win. I believe that what goes around will come around, evil begets evil.

I went many years horseless, I hated everyone with a horse, I didn't want to be part of that world. It was like your child being murdered and you don't have the body, you have nothing and don't know what happened even though you are told she is gone. The biggest emotion is the guilt. I can never forgive myself for not visually checking on her, everyone keeps telling me its not my fault but that doesn't help. I have dealt with her death in my own way and its an on going thing, I will never get over her. How can you ever get over the murder of your best friend, I have learned to deal with it and I still cry but that okay too. If someone says "just get over it" I don't want to be their friend because they couldn't possible have a heart.

I have four beautiful horses now, while each are very special to me and will be with me for life, they can't fill Lady's shoes and I know that they aren't supposed to. Lady will always be with me in my heart, I loved her so much words can never show just how much. Spring tried so hard to win me over and its like he knows. Coty is just a clown and makes me laugh. Zar knows when I need a good ride or when I just need some quiet time. Sharona is just the queen around. Its as each of them has taken a piece of Lady. I call them the four pieces of a puzzle. While they can't be all she was, they can be part of what she was.

ARN FOCUSES ON FINDING LOST PETS - DNA PROFILING
==========================================
Animal Radio Network embarks on a four-week investigation into loss prevention and recovery of your four-legged friends. Author Joseph Sapia joins us for an in-depth study of what works, and what doesn't.

DNA
Having your pet's DNA profile done is yet one more way of identifying your pet. Your pet's DNA "fingerprint" is a permanent, tamperproof record of your pet's identity that is every bit as conclusive as the DNA evidence that can positively link a suspect to a crime or exonerate him. Similarly, a DNA profile of your pet can win you a victory in court if your pet is ever lost and claimed by someone else refusing to return the animal. In one Massachusetts case, as many as five people stepped forward to lay claim to the same lost Macaw. The case was ultimately settled in one man's favor after the results of a DNA test matched the genetic profile he had done of his bird some years before.

The leader in DNA profiling for pets is Celera AgGen, a subdivision of PE Applied Biosystems. This company works closely with several animal-related organizations including The American Kennel Club. In 1996, The AKC began an ambitious DNA pilot program and now has the largest collection of DNA profiles involving purebred dogs ever assembled. In addition, there are other, smaller companies that also offer DNA services direct to consumers.

Due to a lack of sufficient public interest, AgGen no longer offers DNA profiling for cats and only provides limited, although very effective, services for birds. The company maintains a gene match registry for birds where your bird's blood specimen will be preserved indefinitely. If you do end up needing it to prove ownership, they will then do the DNA testing after the fact. Avian Biotech International of Tallahassee, Florida, has a blood sample storage service for birds similar to AgGen's gene match registry. Charles River Therion, Inc., located in Troy, New York, will do a DNA profile on just about any animal. According to Ann Seman, Senior Product Coordinator with Therion, "To date, we have worked with over 400 species of animals ranging from shrimp to emus to elephants to mice to dogs, horses, cats, cougars, and cell lines for biotechnology. You name it, we have probably worked or could work with it." Therion uses a more sophisticated, more labor intensive, and therefore more expensive technique that requires a blood sample be drawn by a veterinarian. The advantage to pet owners is that they will work with any animal.

While DNA services are not required for registering your dog, two of the largest kennel clubs-The American Kennel Club and The United Kennel Club-do offer DNA services to their members as well as to the general public. However, the services are limited to owners of purebred dogs. Both clubs provide DNA test kits upon request. To contact any of the resources mentioned in this chapter see our DNA resources.

Celera AgGen will send dog owners a DNA sample kit upon request. DNA sampling is safe, easy, noninvasive, and you can take the sample yourself by simply rubbing the inside of your petâs mouth with the cotton swab provided in the DNA sample kit. All you have to do is mail it back to them. Itâs that simple. About two weeks later, youâll receive a DNA certificate that bears your name, your petâs name, and a DNA registration number.

Owners of exotic birds should request a kit from Celera AgGen or from one of the other avian services. When your kit arrives, you carefully clip one of your petâs nails, draw a single drop of blood and place it in the small plastic test tube provided with the kit. You mail the sample back to the company where it will be stored until analysis may be needed in the future. It should be noted that even small amounts of blood loss from a tiny bird can be quite serious, therefore you may want to consider having this done by someone with experience, such as your veterinarian.

DNA profiling may be less expensive than you think. We were surprised to discover that the cost is around $50 for dogs and $15 for birds. Of course, prices vary from service to service, so call or write for exact prices. In addition, some kennel clubs offer discounted rates for members.

DECLAWING CONDEMNATION
=========================================
In the first decision of its kind in the United States, a city council has voted to condemn the practice of declawing cats and has proposed a ban on the procedure within its city limits.

The city council of West Hollywood, California, a small municipality located near Beverly Hills, voted unanimously on Tuesday, January 21st, to condemn declawing and then asked the city's attorney to look into the legality of outlawing the painful and generally unnecessary surgery. The resolution also urges veterinarians within the one-square-mile city to encourage "animal guardians" ...a term the council officially adopted last year to acknowledge that pets are not mere property and that caring for one requires higher levels of responsibility, to use alternatives to declawing.

The ban was introduced by Councilmember John Duran. He hopes cat owners will now consider alternatives to declawing such as claw caps and training. Duran, cat guardian who has reversed his own stance on declawing after learning more about it, also hoped the proposed ban would put some "teeth" into the previously ceremonial resolution to call pet owners "animal guardians."

City Council Deputy Hernan Molina said that it was an easy decision for the governing body to make. "West Hollywood has a lot of animal activists, so it wasn't that hard for us to do," he noted about the progressive-minded city. "About 90 percent of the people are in favor of the ban, and of those 10 percent who opposed the ban, no one was radically opposed to the idea. Everyone said declawing is borderline inhumane, but those in opposition wanted to know what are the other options besides declawing."

That's a common concern for cat owners. Many people have problems with their cat scratching inappropriate objects, but are unaware of what options exist besides declawing. It is also important to know that cat scratching is a normal behavior; cats do scratch to remove the dead outer layer of their claws, to mark territory by leaving both a visual mark and a scent ,they have scent glands on their paws, to stretch their bodies and flex their feet and claws, and to work off energy. So it's unrealistic to try and prevent them from scratching altogether.

The good news is that there are humane solutions that can solve scratching problems, such as redirecting the scratching onto acceptable objects.

While West Hollywood may be a pioneer within the United States in trying to ban on declawing, it isn't unique: The procedure is already illegal in 24 nations, including France, Australia, Brazil, Norway, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.

The Humane Society of the United States opposes declawing of cats when it is done solely for the convenience of the owner and without benefit to the animal. Unlike human fingernails or toenails, a cat's claws are closely adhered to bone. Declawing is a serious surgical procedure in which all ten frontal tendons and nerves must be amputated to remove the claws. It is a potentially crippling surgery that deprives a cat of the means of self-defense and sometimes movement. Declawed cats who escape outside are also at an increased risk of injury or death from other animals.

Brian Sodergren is an Issues Specialist in The HSUS's Companion Animals Outreach section.

FELINE NOCTURNE
==========================================
Certain cats believe that nighttime is the right time for making merry. Whether it's a rousing game of Hop on Pop or the feline equivalent of the Hallelujah chorus, nighttime escapades can turn a cat keeper's sunny disposition cloudy within a few sleep-deprived nights.

In the wild, cats are most active at dawn and dusk- the most opportune times for hunting birds and rodents, respectively. To maintain the energy needed to successfully stalk and pounce, the average cat sleeps approximately 18 hours a day by taking multiple catnaps. With their cats' inherent need for so much sleep, why do so many humans find themselves an unwilling audience to feline nocturnes?

Youthful energy

When it comes to excessive nocturnal activity, single kittens and feline adolescents are the worst offenders. The youngsters are bursting with energy and an abundant desire to engage in play. They are easily set in motion- and predatory play- by the smallest twitch, such as a toe wiggling under a light blanket. Some sleepers have even been awakened by a kitten batting at their eyelids during the rapid eye movement stage of sleep!

If this is you, don't despair. Engaging young felines in interactive play an hour or so before bedtime can tire them out. What cat can pass up swatting and leaping at a feather wand or fishing pole toy? Providing a late snack can also buy you some peace, as can making the bedroom as dark as possible, since cats cannot see in total darkness. They are quite adept at getting around in low light, however.

The extremely playful cat may need to retire to her own playroom at the other end of the home. Here, she can expend her energies knocking around ping-pong balls or dangling toys to her heart's content without disturbing her human companion. This nighttime isolation is usually only necessary until the cat matures. For working households, the addition of a second young cat with a similar activity level can be a godsend. The two felines will become fast friends while stalking and pouncing on each other as the humans go about their business.

Who's in charge here?

At quarter to five, you feel a light tap on your cheek; at ten to five, a more insistent tap. By 5 a.m., the tap is replaced by a head bump, a furry body wipe to the face and an impatient screech near your ear. At this juncture, how many cat caretakers have bartered for an extra hour or two of sleep by getting up and filling the food bowl? Unfortunately, the cat has now been richly rewarded for the behavior, and rewarded behaviors become fixed behaviors. Grisabella has trained you to do her bidding. But you can change these behaviors with time and patience. Assuming you feed your cat the appropriate amount of food to fulfill her daily nutritional requirements, when the cat comes tapping, turn over and ignore her. When she ups the ante, pull the covers over your head or play 'possum. No matter how insistent she becomes, do not get up and feed her or you will be putty in her paws. Unrewarded behaviors will eventually disappear.

Moonlight serenade

Nocturnal arias come from two quarters- estrous females and geriatric felines. The case of the hormonally charged female vocalizing for suitors is simple to solve: Spay her! The geriatric cat presents more of a challenge. If your senior feline begins to keep you up nights, a trip to the veterinarian is in order. Elderly cats may appear more restless at night for many reasons. As mammals age, their sleep-wake cycles change. As some senses dim, others become hypersensitive. Their ability to handle environmental changes lessen, and they become more easily stressed. Illnesses, such as hyperthyroidism, can also be responsible for excessive vocalizations. In most cases, the specific reason for vocalizations in your cat can be determined through careful history taking and medical testing. By making a few changes, you will soon find yourself nodding off to the throaty purr of a contented cat.

FINAL THOUGHT
========================================
With our bodies poisoned by stress and with anguish at the cash register, we search for the gift we hope our friends and loved ones will enjoy and remember. But it's all in vain. The material objects we buy brighten our lives for just a fleeting moment, and then soon find their way to a life of permanent confinement in storage vats, with dust as their only companion.

There is a better way. Minds and bodies would be spry, family budgets would sport fewer bruises and friends and loved ones would be touched if we would just remember that our pets can teach us all we need to know about giving.

Animals' actions and devotion are living reminders that the cold winds of winter are no match for a warm heart. With unmatched loyalty and selflessness, they shower us daily with their unending gifts of life.

For millions of disabled people, dogs loosen the shackles of dependency. Cheerfully, they volunteer as guides for the blind, serve as ears for the hearing-impaired, retrieve necessities and monitor doors for the paralyzed, not to mention the heroics they perform in law enforcement and in rescue missions.

When loneliness wraps her unmerciful arms around the elderly, pets shine an uplifting light into their world of darkness. Their presence brings smiles to residents of nursing homes, hospitals and other care facilities - and to millions of regular homes around the country.

Pets are a sort of living Prozac, relieving us from daily stress, but without the harmful side-effects. A good romp with our dogs in the backyard does wonders for our frayed nerves.

If extending our stay on Earth is important to us, having pets beats shelling out money to sleek traffickers of alleged life-prolonging snake oils. Owning pets is cheaper - and it's more effective. A study by the National Institutes of Health informs us that people with pets live an average of five to six years longer than Americans who don't own pets.

Pets also help us fight hypertension without the need to arm ourselves with drugs. People coming home from work with raging blood pressure have been measured after a petting session with their critters, and to nobody's surprise, their hypertension was relieved. The ability of pets to lower blood pressure was measured and confirmed in 1999 when the commonly prescribed medication Lisinopril was found to be no match for the pressure-lowering gifts of petting and playing with pets.

Studies in Australia have also cast pets as faithful guardians against heart disease: Those Down Under who enjoy the company of pets were found to be less prone to chronic valve fibrosis.

Another study suggests that pet owners who suffer heart attacks recover twice as fast. And from the University of California-Davis and UCLA comes news that pets are better than an apple a day in keeping the doc away. People with pets need medical care less often, have more fun and are more secure.

Pets also deliver an exciting and promising life-saving gift to us in the form of early detection of malignant diseases - via the dog's incredible sense of smell. Dogs have been able to detect by scent one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer, called malignant melanoma, leading to early detection and life-preserving intervention. Another promising area of study is in the early detection of lung cancer. Dogs are being trained to recognize the presence of abnormal smells in patients' breath.

In the future, man's best friend might get the call to save our lives and save us from relying on expensive and invasive diagnostic procedures. He will undoubtedly answer it with love, because, after all, pets delight in showing us that money buys us things, but love buys us life.
