EAT & FEED BLUEBERRIES!

In a study conducted on sled dogs, blueberry supplementation elicited significantly elevated antioxidant status in the dogs.

This suggests that dogs fed blueberries should be better protected against oxidative damage. -

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16520073

Aside from being classified as antiangiogenic aka anti-cancer, blueberries contain a compound called pterostilbene, a derivative of resveratrol.

These little blue powerhouses are good antioxidants because they contain phenolics that preferentially react with free radicals.

So, offering your furry companion blueberries can help protect them against cancer!

Joy Ryan, 92, had never seen a mountain. So her grandson decided to take her to every site that has “national park” in its name.

I love this! It reminds me of my dog, Lulu, who is my constant companion. Yes, she is a bit spoiled compared with my other dogs.

We hope you have a very blessed day!😘

Shark finning is a brutal and inhumane practice where the fins are cut off and the shark is thrown back into the water alive. With no fins the shark can no longer swim and will slowly drown or bleed to death. Tell Congress to stop the trade and sale of shark fins in the U.S.: http://bit.ly/2lIPIEH

No Kill Advocacy Center

There are communities across the country saving 97%, 98%, 99%, even 100% of the animals. Michigan alone has 28 above 90% and another 13 above 80%: saving90.org/michigan.html Colorado exceeds that: saving90.org/colorado.html And there are even more: saving90.org

In New Jersey, however, roughly one out of every two animals loses their life or is lost at the Associated Humane Society in Newark: https://goo.gl/iZ2OcI But, according to their director, "euthanasia [sic] is not the worst thing in the world" because some of them were abused: http://goo.gl/rKFWS7

But those aren't the only two choices. The choice is not a choice between abuse and death at the pound. This is not what the animals face. Once they are rescued from abuse, more suffering should no longer be an option.

Although the vast majority of animals never experience abuse or killing, no one argues that shelters should leave those that are to their abusers or that we adopt animals out to them. Everyone agrees that abuse is terrible, something no animal should endure. Of course, they must be rescued from these horrible fates. But once rescued and taken into protective custody, the question becomes: Do we give them a second chance and find them homes? Or, do we allow them to become victims yet again by killing them?

While cruelty and suffering are abhorrent, while cruelty and suffering are painful, while cruelty and suffering should be condemned and rooted out, there is nothing worse than death, because death is final. An animal subjected to pain and suffering can be rescued. An animal subjected to savage cruelty can even become a therapy dog, bringing comfort to cancer patients, as the dog fighting case against football player Michael Vick shows. There is still hope, but death is hope’s total antithesis. It is the eclipse of hope because they never wake up, ever. It is the worst of the worst—a fact each and every one of us would recognize if we were the ones being threatened with death. And it is an arrogant abuse of our power over defenseless animals to think it is our right to make such a determination for them.

Photo: Patrick was severely abused and ultimately rescued. Thankfully, he was not killed under the misguided notion that it "is not the worst thing in the world."

Take a look at this picture of a bobcat dragging a 4-foot-shark from the water.

YouReporter John Bailey sent this picture that he took at Sebastian Inlet State Park to our sister station WPTV in West Palm Beach. He claims the cat leaped into the water, caught the shark, and dragged it to shore.
