I posted five new pictures of my cat Huey on his MySpace page this morning. See the link to Huey’s MySpace page. He is such a joy. And then I think how cruel we are to dogs and cats. Do you see the Oprah Winfrey show on puppy mills this past week. It was how we breed for profit. And the breeding is extremely cruel. Dogs never allowed out of cages. Overbreed to they are ill. No medical attention. And when they can no longer breed, they are shot and killed. What is wrong with us. Whether you like dogs or cats or not, how can we tolerate this cruelty? All for profit. What is wrong with America? With the world? Granted there are more pressing issues and concerns facing the world. But if we as a society can tolerate the inhumane treatment of animals. . .it says a lot about us as human beings. And it is not something to be proud of. Fixing this is simple. Outlaw puppy mills. Outlaw the killing of cats and dogs. (Killing is permitted on many states, so when the breeding ability ends, the dogs are just killed.) And stop buying pets from puppy mills. Cruelty to animals must stop. Step up! Don’t tolerate! It’s that simple! What do you think?

One of the most rewarding things I’ve done is to work with a local no-kill cat shelter. Every Friday for two hours I would go and clean cages, feed, and play with the cats at the shelter. The cats were so appreciative of the love and care. My heart was always so full when I left. Here’s a link to a great no-kill shelter: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/PA65.html
Support no-kill shelters like this with your time or funding. It really does make a difference!
