Glendale Considering Ban on Pet Sales
Soon Sales of Cats and Dogs in Glendale Pet Stores may be Banned
.
Animal rights activists say an investigation into deplorable conditions of a puppy mill in the Midwest that allegedly supplied dogs to several Glendale pet stores, helped convince the Glendale city council to consider banning the sale of dogs and cats from pet stores in the city.
"Animals that were injured," said Carole Davis, of the Companion Animal Protection Society, speaking about the conditions in the puppy mill in the midwest. "Animals that were covered in feces and urine. Animals that had hair that was matted so much that the eyes were closed off, and that they couldn't see."
The proposed ban comes on the heels of West Hollywood's city council adopting a similar policy last year. Los Angeles is also considering a ban.
"What's happening in California," according to Davis, "is a result of direct action by animal rights activists. Los Angeles is the second largest market for puppy mill dogs, after New York City.”
At Pets R Us in Glendale, the manager says they still sell rescued cats, but they stopped selling dogs a few months ago after the C.A.P.S. investigation revealed their supplier got them from a puppy mill.
Like Pets R Us, most Glendale pet stores have already voluntarily stopped selling dogs.
The new ordinance would still allow residents to sell kittens and puppies that come from unexpected pregnancies, but the ordinance would also prohibit so-called backyard breeders.
The city council voiced support for the prohibition after roughly 30 people crowded City Hall in support of the ordinance.

Dog reunites with owner after tsunami rescue in Japan
Monday, April 04, 2011
TOKYO (KABC) -- A dog that may have spent up to three weeks floating at sea after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan has been reunited with its owner.
A coast guard helicopter spotted the dog Friday, adrift on the roof of a demolished house more than a mile off the tsunami-hit town of Kesennuma in Miyagi. But when a rescuer was lowered down to get it, the dog took off. It took several hours to catch the dog.
The rescue was broadcast on television. The owner of the 2-year-old mixed breed named Ban saw it and they were reunited at an animal shelter Monday.
Public broadcaster NHK aired images of the reunion with the woman hugging Ban and the dog warmly wagging her tail.Dog reunites with owner after tsunami rescue in Japan

In Japan, an effort to plug the leaking of radioactive water into the ocean with concrete failed. Officials are considering using a quick-setting plastic polymer to try and seal the leak. For good news, a dog that was stranded by the tsunami was rescued at sea by the Japanese Coast Guard after three weeks of being lost:
In a bit of good news, NHK reported that coast guard officers had found a dog on the roof of a house floating in waters off Miyagi prefecture. The dog, which apparently had been stranded for three weeks, was emaciated and gobbled down sausages and cookies after being saved.
Sausages and cookies?! Hey...whatever he/she wants, and in as much quantity as possible.
United States Africa Command continued to wind down Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya. U.S. Forces have turned operational control of the war over to NATO (Operation Unified Protector). The U.S. Navy has reduced tonnage deployed for the operation substantially, returning some components of the 6th Fleet to home port in Italy. In Libya, a stalemate of sorts has taken hold. Western leaders are unsure about the ultimate outcome, but insist the bombing campaign has been a success.
Mitt Romney went to Las Vegas to give a major speech on foreign policy to a Republican group. He even took questions from the audience about it. Instead, all he got was questions about his ObamaCare Massachusetts healthcare plan.
These aren't good times right now, right? I mean with the recessions, the wars, the uncertainty about the future. Well, 43 years ago tomorrow, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis. Were he alive, he would be 82 years old. I'm sure he would still have great truths to tell us about out times.
The civil war in Ivory Coast has become particularly bloody. The New York Times reports a massacre of anywhere from 300 to 1,000 civilians yesterday. Fighters loyal to both the government and the rebels are being blamed. If confirmed, it may be particularly bad news for Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of the recent presidential election. He had held the moral high ground over dictator Laurent Gbagbo, who had done all of the civilian murdering prior to this incident. No word, so far, on the chances of President Sarkozy, who has 1,000 French soldiers on a base planted right in the middle of the capitol, calling on the international community for military intervention. The French have, however,introduced a new UN resolution calling for more sanctions. C'est la vie.
The Onion on Newt Gingrich:
"Hell, look at me: I'm a public relations nightmare," said Gingrich, adding that, for many years in the late '90s and early 2000s, his name was basically a punch line. "Remember that whole thing with me divorcing my wife while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer? For my campaign's sake, I hope people have forgotten about that. But c'mon, it's a pretty bleak political landscape when the presidential campaign of a known philanderer is actually getting off the ground."
Emphasis mine. For laughs.
This week's classic movie recommendation is The Woman in the Window(1944) starring Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett, and directed by Fritz Lang. As you all know, I'm a huge fan of Bennett's early work (the blonde period), but her middle period is just as good. In this film noir thriller, she really shines in the femme fatale role, but EGR really steals the show. Plenty of good nail-biting drama and has all the good elements of a good film noir classic: dames, crime and suspense!

Baldwin Park, CA - The dog was dragged by a car, but survived. Whether he was intentionally dragged, or if it was an accident, we'll never know. But the dog did survive, albeit with extremely painful wounds to his paws.
The lab mix, with no name, was picked up by animal control along side a freeway on Saturday, the 21st. Since that time, he has been in the back of the shelter, with staff tending to his painful wounds.
Sadly, this beautiful dog, having survived the horror of being dragged, is now scheduled to be euthanized - tomorrow.
According to the woman that discovered him in the back of the shelter, there will be no extensions to save him. Rescues did not know that he existed as he was "in the back", and now he is nearly out of time.
Time is of the essence for this beautiful, young dog. He is estimated to be just one year of age. Technically, still a puppy. Right now, he desperately needs a safe, loving home to recuperate in.
Injured, black lab mix with no name has only an impound number to identify him - A417-6612.
If you, or anyone that you know is able to foster or adopt this dog, please contact Sasha Abelson at sasha@sgadvisors.org.
If you are not able to adopt of foster, please take a moment out of your day and post his story to your Facebook profile, Tweet and/or email to friends and family.
Sasha has established a Chip-In for this dog's medical care. If you are interested in contributing to his care, please click here: http://leonardossurgery.chipin.com/dragged-dog.
According to the shelter staff, the injured dog is "a trooper", but is a bit grumpy, most likely due to the extreme pain of having the pads and toenails ripped from his paws.
Injured, black lab mix #A4176612 needs a chance for happiness, compassion and kindness. Please do your part to help make that happen.Baldwin Park, CA - The dog was dragged by a car, but survived. Whether he was... more

Shaggy Maltese Mix Pulled Out Of Hemet Catch Basin
HEMET (CBS) ―
Photo: Officer Jessica Leitz-Lightfeldt and the wet, shaggy dog she rescued Wednesday.
A Maltese mix, about two years old, had to be rescued Wednesday from a catch basin in Hemet, according to officials.
The shaggy, cold dog was spotted about 2 p.m. near the intersection of Florida Avenue and Meyers Street, accoring to John Welsh, information officer with the Riverside County Department of Animal Services.
When officers reached the dog, his body temperature was low enough that they could not get vital signs, but the pooch apparently has nine lives, at least...he is expected to make a full recovery.
Officer Jessica Leitz-Lightfeldt jumped into the cold water to save the dog. She says, "We kept calling it, but he wouldn't come. Then he started putting his head down in the water and that's when I knew I had to go in."
Leitz-Lightfeldt jumped into the basin...not entirely sure how deep it was.
She was none worse for the wear...if you don't count her clothing. "I have nice juicy wet socks," she said, lightheartedly, "But I'm extremely happy. It's [sic] such a cute dog."
The dog has been taken to an emergency veterinary clinic.Mar 31, 2010 7:19 pm US/Pacific

Jackson, Miss. – In Defense of Animals’ (IDA) Project Hope sanctuary near Grenada, Mississippi, and Mississippi Spay & Neuter (MS SPAN) are teaming up to spay and neuter scores of dogs released to IDA by a Holmes County woman. Once a breeder, she’d fallen on hard times and couldn’t feed or properly care for the dogs.
On Friday, February 5, 20 of the dogs will be spayed by MS SPAN at their “Big Fix” rig at 2104 Old Brandon Road, Pearl, Mississippi. IDA and MS SPAN hope this event will bring attention to the plight of homeless and abused companion animals across Mississippi through the promotion of affordable low cost, high volume spay/neuter of animals.

A dog who was left for dead is up and walking around now after being rescued by a Good Samaritan.
"Old Yeller" was found lying along side a road, presumably hit by a car and unable to even lift his head. Once at the Animal Defense League they realized he hadn't been hit by car, but instead has severe arthritis.
After two weeks of treatment, he's now moving around on his own.
"Little by little, he got up," said Emily King of the Animal Defense League. "He can walk out to the yard by himself, and he can walk into the run by himself."
The Animal Defense League says Old Yeller is already helping other dogs. He donated blood that saved another dog's life.

The shelter in Daejeon is not publicly financed, nor is it safe from collapse. By the end of June 2008, the shelter is scheduled to be closed and the animals will be left with little hope. The dog's fate will be a ten day stay in a government shelter only to end in death.
An organization of animal lovers, Animal Rescue Korea, has dedicated time and money to help keep these animals away from harm. With ARK's help, all the dogs have been able to be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated.
Over 80 dogs are currently housed in an extended greenhouse. The attention starved, adoptable dogs stand to lose their lives in less than a month unless something is done to save the shelter.

The Ministry of Agriculture defines dogs and cats as pets, not livestock. Many Koreans claim that the right to eat dog meat is a matter of cultural pride stemming from a century's old tradition. It is believed, however, that the habit of eating dogs gained prevalence after the Korean War due to widespread starvation. It grew in popularity after reconstruction because dog dealers and restaurants began to fabricate health benefits derived from eating dog meat. In reality, the trade in dog meat has more to do with greed and profits rather than any sort of tradition.
It is estimated that more than 2 million dogs are killed and consumed in South Korea every year, and with each dog fetching the equivalent of US $250, it is a lucrative industry protected by powerful corporate interests.
Though killing and eating dogs is illegal in South Korea, enforcing the laws are difficult due to influences of powerful dog meat lobbyists, as well as government officials who are themselves dog eaters. Though it is still a minority of Koreans who eat dogs, it is nevertheless practiced by some of the most powerful people in society.
Whether it is the perception of canines as livestock or the general newness of animal rights, Korea is lacking a system that takes responsibility for the nation's abandoned animals. Koreans seem to believe that protecting and caring for abandoned animals is someone else's problem, not their own. As a country that is striving to recover and develop into a global force, animal welfare and rights cannot be swept under the rug. This underbelly of neglect has to stop. People must look at the suffering images of this nation's helpless animals and do what they know is right.
The first step in rectifying the injustices being done to animals, both in Korea and world wide, is to adopt an active attitude towards animal welfare. Not only do people need to care, they have to actually contribute physically. The passive attitude of Korea towards animal welfare has fostered an environment where such irresponsibility can thrive. By voicing concerns about caring for abandoned animals to public officials, Korea can begin the long road towards a more human, animal friendly societyThe shelter in Daejeon is not publicly financed, nor is it safe from collapse.
