A Note From Randal
******************

Hi Everyone,

Hope your holidays are full of peace, warmth and joy for all of your family and pets too.

Often we think a pet might make a good Christmas gift. For another viewpoint, please take some time to read the enclosed article on the subject in the "Dogs and Cats for Gifts" section. As the article points out it is better to get the person involved both for the person and the pet.

Thanks for all you have done to spread the word and help our readerships to grow.

Until next time,

Randal

The Pet Theft Cover-Up

You've gone shopping a thousand times and left your dog in your yard or parked car. This time when you return your pet is gone. You are another victim of a scandalous industry that has grown like a cancer.

These illegal activities fill the insatiable appetite for animals used in biomedical experimentation.

Pet theft has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It is a crime that is sponsored by our government and paid for with your tax dollars. Stolen pets feed laboratories and medical facilities for biomedical experimentation. It has become a national scandal. Pet peddlers prey on people who can no longer keep their pets. Desperate owners listen to promises of good and loving homes. The promises are not kept. Instead your pet's fate is a laboratory or medical facility where they die painful and lonely deaths.

The Facts About Chaining or Tethering Dogs

What is meant by "chaining" or "tethering" dogs?

These terms refer to the practice of fastening a dog to a stationary object or stake, usually in the owner's backyard, as a means of keeping the animal under control. These terms do not refer to the periods when an animal is walked on a leash.

Is there a problem with continuous chaining or tethering?

Yes, the practice is both inhumane and a threat to the safety of the confined dog, other animals, and humans.

Why is tethering dogs inhumane?

Dogs and Cats For Gifts?

Pets Do NOT Make Good Christmas Gifts

No matter how cute and fluffy a dog, cat or other animal may be, and no matter how perfect it looks with a red bow around its neck, there's a good chance the gift of an animal will backfire for all concerned.

"That's an incredible amount of responsibility and a lot of times it's not appreciated, flat-out," said. "It's like giving someone a baby."

"Pets don't make good gift ideas for a number of reasons," says Angela Kinn, an SPCA shelter office manager. "The selection of a pet is a very personal decision," she said. "The attraction and what animal resonates with a person is very personal."

Prayers for Pets

Prayers For Pets is a group of people who love pets, believe in God, and believe in the power of prayer. They came together through a mutual concern for the steady flow of beloved pets who are sick, injured, lost or in any other kind of trouble. Their focus is pets and animals simply because they saw an unfilled need.

Prayer for the Animals by Albert Schweitzer  

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals. Especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them, we ask a a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals, and so to share the blessings of the merciful.

New York City's Spoiled Pets for Christmas

Take a walk in any of the more ritzy areas of New York and every other person has a dog – on a leash, being carried in a bag or even being pushed along in a stroller.

"New Yorkers love to pamper their dogs, which are like babies that never grow up," said Howie Binder, a pet salon owner, recalling one client who insisted Italian opera was played for her dog during grooming while another would bathe her dog only in Evian.

Cashmere sweaters at $100 each and alpaca sweaters from $55 are proving to be the big sellers this season.
