Using our four legged friends as an example. As the law states that because one dog or cat is aggressive, mostly due to bad behaviors from us humans. All dogs could be dangerous so to avoid any problems from them, they should all be eliminated. Now how does that make any sense, when for millenniums mankind has been aggressive and tourtured, maimed and killed not only our own species but are slowly killing our planet and the very air we breed. How is killing innoce@nt animals justifiable!@

Animals are better than most humans

My Dear Human,
I see that you are crying, for it is my moment to leave. Don't cry, please. I want to explain some things to you.
You're sad because I left, but I'm glad I met you.
How many dogs and cats and birds like me die daily without meeting someone special like you?
I know it saddens you my departure, but I had to go now.
I want to ask you not to blame yourself for anything. I heard you sobbing that you should have done something else for me. Don't say that, you've done a lot for me! Without you I would have known nothing of the beauty I carry with me today.
You must know that we animals live the present intensely and we are very wise: we enjoy every little thing every day, and forget the bad past quickly.
Our lives begin when we know love, the same love you gave me, my angel without wings and two legs.
Know that even if you find an animal that is seriously injured, and that you only have a little bit of time in this world, you provide a huge service by accompanying you in your final transition.
None of us likes to be alone, except when we realize it's time to leave.
Maybe for you it's not so important that one of you is next to us caressing us and holding our paw, helps us go in peace.
No more crying, please. I'll be happy. I have in memory the name you gave me, the warmth of your house that in this time became mine. I take the sound of your voice talking to me, even though I don't always understand what you were saying to me.
I carry in my heart every caress you gave me.
Everything you did was very valuable to me and I thank you endlessly, I don't know how to tell you, because I don't speak your language, but surely in my eyes you could see my gratitude.
I'm just gonna ask for two favors. Wash your face and start smiling.
Remember how good we live together these moments, remember the antics I made to cheer you up.
Relive like me all the good we share in this time.
And do not say you will not adopt another animal, because you have suffered a lot from my departure. Without you I would not live the beauties I lived.
Please don't do this! There are many like me waiting for someone like you.
Give them what you gave me, please, they need it just like I needed you.
Don't keep the love you have to give, for fear of suffering.
Follow my advice, cherish the good you share with each of us, recognizing that you are an angel to us animals, and that without people like you our life would be harder than sometimes it is.
Follow your noble task, now it's up to me to be your angel.
I will accompany you in your path and help you help others like me.
I will talk to other animals who are here with me, I will tell you everything you have done for me and I will point and say proudly: “that's my family.”
Tonight, when you look at the sky and see a blinking star I want you to know that it's me flashing an eye; warning you that I arrived well and telling you "thank you for the love you gave me".
I say goodbye now not saying "goodbye", but "see you later.”
There is a special sky for people like you, the sky where we go and life rewards us by making us meet there.
I'll be waiting for you!"

It is with great sadness that we need to inform our followers we have lost our beloved Buda. Dumped by his owner at advanced age. He was the sweetest of dogs. It angers me that many humans have failed to appreciate our 4 legged angels!

This respect for our furry friends should e everywhere

In Argentina, there's a restaurant called Restobar Dickens, with a sign saying:
"We ask all our customers with all our hearts not to be upset by the number of stray dogs that may be in the restaurant.
We are a pet friendly place and we give water, food and lots of love to these sweet angels. I'm sorry if it bothers you, but they're not doing anything wrong, they're just looking for food or shelter.
Thank you very much! ❤️

Mankind is losing its humanity.

Our hearts went out to colleagues, rescuers and local community in Orkney (Scotland) earlier today, after over 70 long-finned pilot whales mass stranded on the isle of Sanday. It's so hard to try to remain focused through such heartbreaking circumstances and incredibly distressing situation.

Sadly, all whales have lost their lives. Post mortems will be carried out on some of the marine mammals to help determine cause of stranding.

Updates to follow.

A trial gets underway today in a Southern California courtroom over the San Diego Humane Society’s refusal to take in many stray cats. SDHS, which runs animal control for San Diego and close to a dozen other cities in the county, turns them away at the door and tells finders to release them on the street.

Although San Diego Humane Society argues that it will be forced to kill cats if required to care for them, it can become an “open admission” No Kill shelter by comprehensively implementing the No Kill Equation. SDHS takes in over $65,000,000 annually and has $126,000,000 in assets. Other communities have done it with higher per capita intake rates and lower revenues. The SDHS position also ignores that cats not only have a right to life, they have a right to rescue.

Bu işin şakası da geri dönüşü de yok. Sokaklarinizda da barınakta da köpek kalmayacak... akşam mama verip başını okşadığınız, sabah sizi işinize uğurlayan kopekleriniz devlet eli ile öldürmek istiyorlar bu yasa ile. Sokaklara inmek için başka bir zaman da kalmadı. Bugün değilse hangi gün? Biz elbette mahallemizin kopeklerini vermemek için son kanımıza kadar müdahale edeceğiz, ama yasa geçerse bu iş çok zor olacak. B yasa bütün Türkiye'deki, kırsaldaki her bir köpeği kapsıyor. Kapımızın önündeki çocuktan görmediğimiz ama o korkan bakışlarını hissettiğimiz her bir çocuk için meydanda olmak zorundayız.

"I died today.
I was found by a kind, sweet woman who does wildlife rescue.
I was so sick, I could barely open my eyes.
She took me inside, cradling me in her warm arms, and made me warm and comfortable.
I opened my eyes and looked at her and thanked her for making my last few minutes as comfortable as possible.
But I was too sick to keep fighting anymore.
I had eaten a mouse that was poisoned, and it made me very sick.
I closed my yellow eyes for the last time and went somewhere else.
Please, all I ask is never use poison to kill the mice.
Poison kills owls, like me.
All I wanted was a mouse for dinner.

Stop the use of poison for rats or mice.
Live traps are the best to use. Catch and release.
It only takes one share to spread the word."

Hello friends of Smiling dogs. It is with heavy heart that I must find a solution for my rescues. With rising inflation I am unable to care for my dogs. The land owner has me in court to take back the land and my salary is no longer able to sustain the costs for food, vet bills and the upkeep of the shelter. The containers need major repairs which I can no longer afford to fix. I am trying to get an appointment with the new mayor to see if I can get some help but I can’t depend on that as the last mayor suggested I just put them back on the street. Like that would have been a solution. Any suggestions?
