Newest Review: ... these guys have received around 20,000 animals into their care since 1998 but rarely housed any, the point of the charity. Ten years later they were up to 2,212 animals killed by them a year. On average they were killing five animals a day and because they don't run adoption shelters the grubbier the pet the less chance it would see the day out in their cages, all very grim considering it's supposed to be a refuge from animal haters. PETA go out of their way to demonise society for being cruel to animals through these celebrity voices yet spend little of the money on saving the poor beasts.

Charities: A dog is not just for Christmas but recession too. (1141 words)

The most contradictory statistic I know is that only 3% of Chinese people actually use Chinese medicine, the second is that 87% of animal abusers are classed as animal lovers, the people that have pets. Strangers tend not to kick the neighbours cat. In recession that statistic gets a whole lot worse and we have already seen a 60% rise in the abandonment of domestic pets to Britain's streets and the local charity pounds, up from 7,347 in 2007 to 11,586 dumped last year, according to the RSPCA. It seems when moneys tight animal lovers would rather surrender their dogs and cats than fags and booze in certain households. There's no social class breakdown on who handed over ..  Read the complete review

A few minutes ago I said a "Thankyou" as I watched a bright yellow helicoptor fly straight and true over my house on it's way to Southend Hospital. On board was a friend leaving behind a thankful 9 year old daughter and those of us who witnessed one of those accidents which although not rare can result in genuine injury. As usual on a sunday morning, several horse owners, including children, started a ride round the farm which is home to the stableyard where I keep my own horse. I had lent Ben to a friend so that she could accompany her daughter, and I watched from a ridge, my dog beside me, as they strung in a line looking like toys in the ...  Read the complete review

Forces Connections (94 words)

If you have any connection with the armed forces (eg your parents served or maybe you did) you can apply to the various forces' charities for help while studying. I received £200 from the WRNS Benevelolent Trust and the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust for books and the British Legion offer similar funding. They do not usually give money towards cost of living expenses but will make awards for books, field trips etc. SSAFA (The Sailors Soldiers and Air Force Association) also hold lists of all the service charities and are in most local phone directories.  Read the complete review
