Harvey's Mansion

myasphyxiatedmind: itsdetachable: ragingbitchfest: hawkstudios: What do you do with a cube storage set? Create a bunny mansion of course. Ellie doesn’t even have a cage. I just wired those things together, and she’s got about a 6ft by 4ft pen. And hopefully I can get my own place soon, and she can just have the whole living room. I hate keeping her penned up.

Myth: Tough Dogs Need Tough Training →

theshoutsofmany: “Sure, clicker training might work for a Poodle. But a Pit Bull needs to be shown who’s boss.” We hear this all the time, and I want to put a rest to this myth once and for all. Many people believe that clicker training and other reward-based training methods won’t work for their breed. Whether it be a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, Cane Corso, Malinois, Rhodesian ...

iloveeucalyptus: Sometimes I feel like the only person on the internet who doesn’t giggle and think “how cute!” when I see a morbidly obese pet. A little bit of chub is cute, but there’s a line between “D’aaww” and me wincing. There are just so many terrible health problems you’re causing. Your dog is not supposed to have its fat crush its lungs when it rolls on its back. That wheezing is...

"You can't adopt your way out of pet...

skrett: “You can’t adopt your way out of pet overpopulation” is an old mantra, repeated so loudly and so many times that no one questions it. Between 5 and 7 million pets enter animal shelters in the USA annually, with approximately 3-4 million being killed in the shelter. Source: ASPCA Pet Statistics Research suggests that 17 million people will add a new pet to their family in a year. ...

How to properly trim your pet's nails

promotinganimalwelfare: 1. Buy a pair of nail trimmers for your pet(s). 2. Locate the blood vessel of the nail. This should be fairly easy if your dog’s nails are white. If your dog’s nails are black, you’ll have to use your best judgement. 3. After, start by clipping off the tip of the nail. 4. If there is blood, don’t worry. Just take a clean cloth and apply pressure until the bleeding stops...

Where *Not* to Buy a Dog: The Pet Store Connection... →

So where should you buy a dog? The absolute worst place, it turns out, is a pet store. An HBO documentary, Madonna of the Mills, exposes the fact that virtually all pet store puppies are raised in puppy mills in horrible conditions, in wire pens no bigger than a dishwasher, and the puppies are sickly with parasites and other serious issues.

getxsick: There has been a cat hanging out around work lately, and it is just the sweetest thing. I would love to take it in, but unfortunately can’t. We are trying to find a home for it, but in the mean time would like to take it to the vet to get spayed/neutered and vaccinated. As a student, I can’t really afford to do this by myself. Please consider donating to help out this kitty! Any amount...

Over 200 Elephants Slaughtered for Ivory

alwaysadoptngovegan: NEVER BUY ANYTHING MADE OF IVORY BECAUSE IT IS THE REASONS WHY ELEPHANTS CONTINUE TO BE SLAUGHTERED! YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) — Wildlife activists say poachers have slaughtered at least 200 elephants in four weeks in an ongoing killing spree in a Cameroonian national park.

skrett: Jeanne Chancellor, head of Friends of Memphis Animal Services (a 501(c)(3) charitable organization comprised of MAS volunteers, which claims to be “independent of Memphis city government”), has been outed on a popular animal blog for using fake names to support MAS despite reported neglect, abuse and the call to kill all Pit Bulls within the shelter. While this might be eyeroll-worthy...

I'm shocked and appauled

oliveramy: Just discovered that petstores are catering to the new “designer breed” status in carrying mixed dogs in their stores. I am so pissed off I can’t even breathe right now! Petstores selling mutts! OVER PRICED MUTTS! God, I love mutts. I LOVE Gabriel, my boyfriend’s Beagle/American Bulldog mix. He is awesome-just needs some proper training. But its a mix, a mutt, nothing more. He can’t...

Who invented puggles?

jointhenavy: More importantly, why? Who looked at a loves-to-run scent hound and said, “But wouldn’t it be great if we made it harder for her to breathe?” Backyard breeders looking for a quick buck, that’s who.

Don't fall for the "teacup" garbage!! →

ashleighgraygrooming: Many breeders claim to breed “teacup” puppies, when in reality there is no such thing…the puppies that these assholes breed are sickly, underweight, and often times premature babies that are sold to feed the ignorance of possible buyers.

caringworld: Save the last 130 Western Gray Whales The western gray whale is on the edge of extinction. There are probably fewer than 130 remaining with less than 26 breeding females.

skrett: GCH CH Wyndlair Cherokee Vindication, a blue merle Collie, won BOB at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on Feb. 13 (2012). Vinnie—as he is known outside the ring—is the offspring of Wyndlair Avalanche, a homozygous or double merle (sometimes erroneously referred to as “lethal white”) Collie. Double merles occur when a merle dog is bred to another merle dog. Merle-to-merle breedings...

"Kill all Pit Bulls"

skrett: A high ranking leader told Memphis Animal Services employees to kill all Pit Bulls. “I want to euthanize every Pit Bull—or dog that looks like a Pit Bull—whose time is up.” Euthanasia records indicate that same month almost 270 “Pit Bulls” were killed with 244 of those being killed for “space.”
