This is a video I got via my email from Alejandro Medina. It is a little hard to watch, but the message is very strong. Share this where you can.

More than 80% of Northern Rockhoppers breed on Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island in the south Atlantic Ocean, with the remainder found on Ile Saint-Paul and Amsterdam Island in the Indian Ocean. The Rockhopper Penguin was split into two species, Northern and Southern Rockhopper Penguin, after research published in 2006 demonstrated morphological, vocal and genetic differences between the two populations.

According to Penguins!-blog the number of northern rockhopper penguins on the South Atlantic islands of Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands is believed to have fallen by 90 per cent in the last 130 years.

According to The Pet Blog the animal welfare charity RSPCA claims that forcing pets to wear clothing could be harmful, and in some cases there may even be grounds to prosecute.

Jo Barr, RSPCA spokeswoman, said: “Dog owners should be aware that under the Animal Welfare Act that came into force in April 2007 they have a duty of care to ensure that all of their pets’ needs are met”. One of those needs is to express normal behaviour and it could mean that with restrictive clothing they are not able to do that properly.

On the other hand some  believe there are occasions where dog clothing is acceptable, such as with small dogs and short-haired varieties, and during cold weather.

Barack Obama promised in his presidential acceptance speech to get his daughters a puppy, a few weeks ago Bernie from the place to bark and meow-blog had an opportunity to send her 2 puppies, to participate in the search for the Obama puppy on television.  This was via Anti Cruelty Society in Chicago.

Unfortunately she was on the road, away from home, it was last minute & she couldn’t get back on time, to get her dogs there. She was disappointed, but she is a firm believer that if things are meant to be they happen.

With that being said, I am creating my own opportunity & am putting our rescued puppy out in this public forum for their consideration.  My hope is that the Obama family will see this post via the web. I’ve tried to find contact info, where I could send them a private note, but with no luck. Sooo, I have to believe someone, will know someone, will know someone & let them know!!!

GEARI.ORG received recently an email that vaccines, or immunization shots, such as rabies, cause cancer and/or illness and eventual death to companion animals such as dogs or cats.

this is apart of the email as posted at Animal Rights Information and News Resource Blog.

I want to notify you all that I have lost two perfectly healthy cats from rabies immunization shots. One was 8 years old and the other was 12 years old. They both got cancer and died within months of having been administered the feline rabies vaccines and feline leukemia vaccine.

The laws are forcing people to over immunize their pets and don’t offer titer tests. Instead the veterinarians are just giving shots because it is easier and they make more money.

GEARI.ORG says to feel free to response to this email and comment to his post.
