Cats and dogs are a huge problem, so many dog/cat mills out there producing animals, people abusing them, etc. It's great when they get a second chance but rescue's are over flowing,sad. Then you got scumbags like this....Page not found swore after my Stella goes no more dogs
cats and dogs aren't a huge problem....the irresponsible humans that own them are.
Mike, A new word for me and had to look that one up, kudos for expanding my vocabulary. I will plead guilty as charged as I do believe they have emotions and understanding far above what most people believe in, therefore the reason why I love them more with each day.While I am in total agreement with all of you about puppy mills and the cretins who buy dogs/cats from them then dump them when they don't act/behave as Disney movies portray. I have to say, AT6, just one word: ANTHROPOMORPHISM

I do not doubt for a second that dogs/cat/etc. have emotions, they are hard-wired into the mid-brain of all vertebrates. Dogs being pack animals are also wired to read the displayed emotions/signals of the rest of the pack, especially the alpha male/female. So my dogs have learned my emotional signals and their behavior changes accordingly.
Next time you come home after being gone for a while start the "WHAT DID YOU DO" and "Bad DOG". Watch how they "look" guilty.
The humans in that shelter were giving emotional signals to those pups who responded accordingly. Anyone who has raised a baby (human) can see how quickly they learn to manipulate adults.
Being mostly a farm-kid, animals were business. Dogs/cats came and went. I was also a pre-Disney kid for the most part so the only thing Bambi meant to me was Venison.
Now I have dogs today and they are pretty much my family. When Breena died after I had her spayed, I was devastated.
I really hope that reincarnation is real and that when these puppy-mill/dog fighting cetins die they come back as a puppy in a mill just like theirs.
As to Cecil, I hunt, but I eat what I kill. This moron with WAY too much cash hunts for trophies/heads only. I have always been against that and I hope he pays some severe penalties.
It is my hope the the dentist will be extradited per Zimbabwe's request and that he will face any charges that may or may not result after a thorough investigation.
