They don't get his fur or nails clipped, and last time I was around, i found out that they had thrown chemicals on him and he was missing a huge patch of skin on his back. he's the sweetest dog in the world and the boyfriends grandparents take him in every day and feed him and let him relax on the couch with them, but the SPCA in that area won't do anything despite numerous complaints against the owners. Next time I go back home, I might steal the doggy and make him my new best friend who gets to sleep in my bed (whether boyfriend likes it or not) and gets a bath whenever he gets grossy and dirtyAKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910430889936757668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097380420547655284.post-56033988489633744752010-01-31T15:10:39.957+00:002010-01-31T15:10:39.957+00:00Ashley,you don't sound snotty at all!your opin...Ashley,you don't sound snotty at all!your opinion sounds very reasonable to me!and its actually really good to hear about canadas strict laws in relation to farming,just goes to show we always have something we can learn!with regards to peta,they are certainly not the be all and end all when it comes to animal rights,I mainly used that as most people know of peta.kev: I thinl it is really good of you to not eat meat around vegans,but I wouldn't expect that from meat eaters,being vegan is my choice and isn't to be imposed on those around me.I have to disagree with you saying that there's a lot of animals treated well in the uk.its just not true,animals as a whole in the uk are mistreated so much.amd that's before you even take into account what happens at the slaughterhouse.its not a simple slit their throat and their dead job,as if that isn't horrendous enough.they endure a lot more than we could ever imagine.and to think that people slaughter animals as a job is beyond awful...that can't be good for the hrt and mind.we don't see a lot of what goes on in the animal cruelty world.because it is all behind closed doors.and because animal liberators are put in jail,often receiving longer jail terms than murderers.I think what we humans need to learn is that we do not have a god given right to take what we want from everything on this planet.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386498713968802030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097380420547655284.post-24586917823744038192010-01-31T14:20:03.047+00:002010-01-31T14:20:03.047+00:00while what peta shows are the horrors of how anima...while what peta shows are the horrors of how animals are kept and treated, not all meat is subject to this. much meat here is regulated, and generally its not all bad. like most things, you should take things with a pinch of salt. climate change is another. for every reason there is that we are to blame for the ice-caps melting, theres also evidence that its happened before naturally. yes theres animals being treated cruelly out there, but for every horror story there is there are also many more stories where they're well looked after. <br /><br />i'm a meat eater, and i'm not proud of it but i'm certainly unashamed. i have much respect for people who can live without it, and i do eat some veggie dishes. quite often i wont eat meat in the presence of vegans too, just out of respect and common decency.Death By Diehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984537406530437726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097380420547655284.post-47285750205780706322010-01-31T14:03:31.926+00:002010-01-31T14:03:31.926+00:00I don't know about anywhere else, but in Canad...I don't know about anywhere else, but in Canada we're pretty strict on how cattle used for dairy is treated. Most cattle farms here adhere to a set of laws that state things like, farmers needing to have proper comfy bedding for the animals, and they need to have enough room to stand, lie down, adopt comfy resting positions and they must have visual contact with other cows. I know a handful of people with farms and their cows are happy, fat and under no stress whatsoever, they roam the fields all day around here and only spend night time in their barns.<br /><br />But, that's not the same for other countries, which I agree, is terrible and completely unnecessary cruelty, they definitely don't treat any of their farm animals with respect and they sure as hell don't have laws governing that they HAVE to be kind to their farm animals.<br />I don't tend to eat meat very much just because I personally don't like the idea of eating cooked flesh, but I will eat it sometimes because I like bacon.<br />I don't mean for this to sound super snotty bitchy-pants but I really just wanted to tell you about how farmers treat their animals in Canada because I feel PETA misrepresents everything, and their videos of said farm animal cruelty are American usually. I think if I were there, I'd be a vegan too.AKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910430889936757668noreply@blogger.com
