Wild Horses Saved from Slaughter
All of us reading this blog are likely to be “animal junkies.” I am proud to be called that, even though many people throw it out as a put down. I don’t care and in fact, I feel sorry for the pitiful people who have never known the love of a pet or companion animal. [...]
BLM After Wild Horses Again
It is very hot in Nevada in the summer. However, this year has seemed far hotter than usual. And on one of the hottest periods of this year the BLM decided to once again get out their helicopters and start to round up this states wild horses.

Stop Slaughter of US Horses
Many people banded together and stopped a proposed law in Missouri that would have allowed the slaughter of horses so the horse meat could be sold for human consumption.

Stem Cells Help Dogs and Horses
Anyone who has been around dogs and a whole lot of people who haven’t know about hip dysplasia which is a degenerative disease of the rear hip sockets in dogs.

A Very Odd Animal Couple
Every day animals amaze and amuse us. Whether they do so intentionally or not isn’t the issue. All animals seem to have something that humans sorely lack.

Stop Horse Slaughter
I was born in Missouri and grew up just across the state line in Kansas. There were many slaughter houses and meat packing plants in the Kansas City area. The stink was in the air from these plants for miles and you smelled it every day as you drove into Kansas City from the suburbs. [...]

I think it is a nice thing to have a Love Your Pet Day, especially following so close on Valentines Day. I know most of us love our pets each and every day so it seems redundant to have a special day for this. But, it never hurts to remind those who don’t value their [...]
How Cold Are You
My son has a blog called lunacanus.com. Luna Canus means Moon Doggie. That is because he spent the majority of his life living at the beach in California. His site is NOT about animals. It is a site about the politics of today from a left leaning, small town view. I want you to know this before [...]
Wild Horses Killed in Round Up
The BLM likes to tell us how much they care about the wild horses of the western United States. They also like to tell us they have no more room for the horses they keep rounding up. Of course, the big ranchers like to let us know that there isn’t enough grazing land for the [...]
Wheres Your State on Cruelty

Therapeutic Horse Riding
In my opinion, animals improve anyones life. Whether its a dog, cat, ferret, gerbil, pig or any number of other animals people who live alone, senior citizens, shut-ins, the handicapped and families benefit from the presence of animals in their lives. Haven’t we all known this for quite some time? But did you know that riding [...]
