Animal Welfare in general Reviews

I'm one of those people who gets as upset at animal cruelty as I do at human suffering. Animals are so defenceless (well, maybe not crocodiles) and innocent that I just don't understand how anyone can hurt them. Plus some of the sentences/punishments given to people who have tortured animals, are ridiculous. If you hurt an animal, you can hurt a ...  Read the complete review

Now I couldn't find anywhere else to post this and then found the animal welfare section. This review is about animal adoption. Last week one of my guinea pigs sadly passed away, and left him house mate Gordon on his own, anyone who knows anything about Guinea Pigs would know that Guinea Pigs don't like to live on their own, ...  Read the complete review

Are drugs really safe for humans after animal testing? Do you really believe it when researchers tell you laboratory animals dont suffer? The NAVS (National Vivisection Society) says that the scientific evidence shows that millions of animals suffer and die in laboratories all over the world - in unreliable, unethical, and ...  Read the complete review

This was written shorlty after Christmas, so sorry for the delay in posting. But I still want to make people aware of this. Hence my review being posted. Well I thought I would broach the subject, which has been troubling me deeply since watching my local news report last night. On Granada reports last night there was a four ...  Read the complete review

Didn’t quite manage to go to work last week, never mind squeeze some writing in, but never mind. I’m here now, and a little - okay, a lot of - waffling about fuzziness might get the old writing equipment back in gear. So, animals. Lovely. Nicer than people, half the time. I come from an animal-filled background, too - we ...  Read the complete review

I must confess. I am one of the world’s biggest animal lovers. I’ve always been this way; I can’t explain how or why it came about. Genetics don’t seem to have played any part of the game. So maybe this leads to the nature or nurture argument? Nope, I can honestly stand here and disprove that theory too. You see ...  Read the complete review

I can't confess to being an animal lover. I'm not one to enjoy having little furry creatures running around (although I have put up with them being in the house so long as I'm not expected to look after them or handle them) At present, I neither have or want, any animals (or does hubby count as an animal?.....hmmmmm). However, I ...  Read the complete review

My family are horse-lovers. Even though I am not as fascinated about these creatures as my grandparents and aunties and uncles are, I still used to go horse riding when I was a young girl. Most Saturday's I would go down to the local stables and get the chance to ride my favourite horse, Lucky. I entered a colouring competition when I was ...  Read the complete review

This "write up" idea of MALU's is close to my heart. Having kept so many animal companions over the years I thought I would have a problem not to be carried away with this one. Then Smartie came to mind and I could not resist. Smartie, a brown girl with a white tum, was the last of the pet rats I kept over decades. Of ...  Read the complete review

My Sardinian husband’s family lives in a village in the mountains, we’ve helped lots of German friends find accommodation with the locals, either in houses in the vineyards between the village and the sea or in the village directly. Once a woman stayed in a flat there and one day I didn’t go with my husband to the beach, but ...  Read the complete review

Aren't they great!! Whether loving companions or wild at heart, animals make a big difference to our lives. If it wasn't for these creatures, we wouldn't be able to survive in this world, as there would be no food, even if you are a vegetarian. So why do we treat them so bad? I'm going to talk about a few cases of animal cruelty, ...  Read the complete review

Now alot of people no doubt are not going to like this,seeing as we all love animals and we all hear of how the RSPCA(Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals)do all their good work to save the animals that have all been mistreated,abandoned and injured.But what exactly happens to them,no doubt at least one of you will have ...  Read the complete review

I’m sorry to say now but if you had brought a dog near me 3 years ago I would have literally s**t myself! - mind the language. They were this mythical creature to me, how would you feel if you came across a 3 headed oga? Not pleased I’m presuming. So imaging how I felt being dragged off to view the dreaded oga! My mum goes to me ...  Read the complete review

Imagine an overweight squirrel with ears like a cats and the softest fur imaginable. You're picturing a chinchilla. The chinchilla is a stunningly beautiful creature. They are affectionate, playful and highly intelligent little mammals. Having kept chinchillas for years, I am passionately devoted to my five little pets and cannot imagine why ...  Read the complete review

Meow, mew, mew, purr, purr purr, grrrrr. Ahem, ahem. Sorry, I forgot you don't speak feline. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tara. I am an all black American Short Haired Feline, in your terms. My Mommy/Human is Kimber. I decided that while she is away at work, I might take over the computer and write this for her. I hope she ...  Read the complete review

A few people have commented this week that I have seemed kind of sad, not really my usual cheerful self. It’s true. Something very, very tragic has happened in my life and it has broken my heart. I have suffered an enormous personal loss and I am grieving. I have had to come to terms with the fact that I have stroked my beloved pet snake Big ...  Read the complete review

Our beloved doggie died recently, and being dogless after 15 dog-full years leaves quite an empty space. I looked in the yellow pages for animal rescue places. I visited one which takes in dogs for the local council. Took the kids along too, all of whom wanted every doggie they had there. The woman was coy and used "it's a ...  Read the complete review

Life has its ups and downs. There are times when we can't even see light at the end of the tunnel and the future looks bleak. Each of us has something that can break through that feeling of hopelessness and make us smile. For me that thing is animals: my own pets, dogs I see walking their owners, horses in fields, sheep on the hills. ...  Read the complete review

I?ve always been the champion of the underdog. Let?s face it, do you know anyone else who sticks up for the rights of moles? These poor cure furry critters are constantly referred to as pests and ?rodents? (more on that later), and are killed by farmers and gardeners. So before you get out your ?Mole Away!? spare a thought for the small furry ...  Read the complete review
