ON THEIR WAY TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
Look at these children. Take a long look. Really see them...
We are all connected.

Persons not objects.
Animals are intelligent and emotionally evolved beings - they think and feel. They love, they suffer, they mourn.

Please take a minute to read this adorable story!

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith... was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we co
uld write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Meredith

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.

Love, God

Special Treat

This stray dog enjoyed extra special treatment when a group of monkeys included him in their pampering session. The dog lay down to make himself more comfortable as the grey langur monkeys fussed around him and stroked his fur in Rajasthan, India.. The unique moment was captured by wildlife photographer Cyril Ruoso, from Lailly in France, who had been observing the monkeys..

Dog Saves Girl in Poland!!!

Dog Saves Girl In Poland!

The three-year-old, named Julia, and her faithful furry black companion were out in the yard playing – just like a child should be ab...le to do. Unfortunately the child, with a mind of her own, wandered out of her yard and into a nearby forest located in the southwestern Village of Pierzwin, Poland in freezing temperatures of 23 degrees Fahrenheit and negative five degrees Celsius.

Firefighters, in conjunction with a 200-person search team set about looking for Julia and her pet in order to save her from freezing to death. Eventually both were located in a marsh. The dog being the child’s savior; never leaving her side and protecting her by keeping her warm by laying on top of her and beside her. The dog is the little girl’s very best friend and is now her hero! He signaled to the searchers by barking their whereabouts as they got close to the pair.

Grzegorz Szymanski, one of the Polish firefighters on the case made this statement, "For the whole night the animal was with the girl, it never left her. Remember, it was 5 degrees below zero and the child was wet.”

Julia is going to recover from her frostbite and trauma thanks to her canine. Animals, especially dogs, have long been esteemed for their acts of heroism. Whether it is saving family members from weather conditions, fires or accidents, the love that many canines prove by placing themselves in face of harm is undeniable.

Coyotes suffering again!

Coyote suffers for days in a vicious leg-hold trap---emaciated and weak, he still managed to pull the stake out and drag the trap on his broken leg---the pain ...unimaginable----he got caught on some brush and was found by a kindly couple who called "Critter Care" who rescued him. What was his crime?--- trying to feed himself with some rodents? That is not a crime --- the criminal is the trapper and WE HAVE TO MAKE TRAPPING ILLEGAL! 99% of animals caught in traps are NOT rescued.....

Horrible death to coyotes - City of Montreal and Via Rail

City of Montreal and Via Rail inflict horrible death to coyotes!!!

Alanna Devine, Director of Animal Advocacy for Montreal's SPCA, asks the City of Montreal an...d Via Rail to stop killing coyotes. A coalition of animal welfare groups expressed through a press release that the torturous trapping and slaying of coyotes in Montreal is an irresponsible and inhumane response to urban wildlife.

The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Defenders (APFA,furbearerdefenders.com) in conjunction with Coyote Watch Canada and Montreal’s SPCA are calling on the City of Montreal and Via Rail to immediately change their policies surrounding urban wildlife.

"We were shocked to hear that Via Rail, a proud Canadian company, showed such disrespect for urban wildlife," says Lesley Fox, Executive Director for APFA. "Any large municipality or corporation should have the common sense to know trapping to be a horrendous death of animals and does not solve any long term problems."

Reports on CBC Radio confirm that residents have been feeding the coyotes in the area, a known and scientifically proven cause for increases in conflict.

"The Southwest borough does have a by-law regarding the feeding of some wildlife," notes Alanna Devine, Director of Animal Advocacy for Montreal’s SPCA. "Feeding coyotes will attract them to an area and can result in problematic behavior. It is very disappointing to know that such lethal action was taken before any alternative was considered."

Ongoing education, investigation of conflict and enforcement of wildlife feeding by-laws can create a harmonious environment.

"Throughout North America, municipalities are becoming compassionate wildlife communities," says Lesley Sampson, co-founder of Coyote Watch Canada (coyotewatchcanada.ca). "From the City of Niagara Falls to Calabasas, California, co-existence plans have proven an effective means of creating harmonious communities. There is no reason for wildlife to die such gruesome deaths when these plans are readily available."

All three organizations offer public and municipal education on urban wildlife management that provides non-lethal, cost-efficient and successful co-existence plans.
