Animal Fun

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

A cute site for animal lovers (especially dogs).
Use simple commands and watch the dog respond, or if you have young children let them “play” for a bit. Type in the word “kiss” and watch what happens.

NFL Player Vick Indicted For Holding Illegal Dog Fights

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

What possesses a human to buy puppies for the sole purpose of making them mean and fighting to the death or almost death? And if they don’t perform well in “trials” they are killed by electrocution, hanging, drowning or slamming the dog to the ground.
