Rescued dogs. The Humane Society of the United States + a Rant.

Our local Humane Society shelter  recently took 29 dogs from a similar and equally horrible enterprise.

This video is of another group that of dogs that were rescued:



I'm grateful that so many people (even in the countries themselves, and to whom I say a big "bravo"!) are nowtrying to stop this shameful practice in several countries.  I'm also grateful that the sometimes very desperate people who try to make a living this way are getting the help they need to transition away from such horrible cruelty.  
Let's not forget how ancient the bond between our two species is.  It goes back far into prehistoric times.  They are our oldest companions amongt the other earthlings.

We should never forget:  If we don't treat all the other earthlings with compassion and fellow feeling, we simply end up not treating fellow human beings well either.  It's a proven fact and not just some psycho-babble fantasy.  It also should explain why governments still use torture with impunity and even pride.  *shudders*

We don't have to look too far to see real horror going on.  Why should anyone be addicted to the Hollywood version of horror when a person can really do something significant to stop the REAL horror going on in daily life for far too many animals?  Really, every thirteen seconds?  How Hideous!

  1. It gives me a good feeling to know of people like you who still care about things. So many don't. Thank you for that.

    1. And I feel the same about you and all the others who care. No one can live without hope, and my hope is that all those who care will be able to really change things for the better. We can't give up.
