Sea Shepherd CEO, Steve Roest, flies at an undisclosed altitude to examine the situation in the Gulf. Watch as he narrates his account. Please help us get this evidence out there. Favorite and share this video. www.seashepherd.org Wednesday, June 30, 2010 Operation Gulf Rescue Ramps Up Operation Gulf Rescue The problem: On the morning of April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon semi-submersible mobile offshore drilling unit exploded, killing 11 people. On the afternoon of April 22th, a large oil slick began to spread from the former rig site, and today this disaster is the largest offshore spill in US history. Estimates vary as to how much oil is gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, but experts agree that it is between 50000 and 150000 barrels of oil per day. On May 19th, scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and elsewhere stated that oil had reached the Loop Current. By June 4th, the oil spill had landed on 125 miles of Louisiana’s coast, washed up along Mississippi and Alabama barrier islands, and was found for the first time on a Florida barrier island at Pensacola Beach. The greatest concern has been that severe weather, as we enter hurricane season, might push the oil inland and over a far wider area, simultaneously rendering many clean-up and wildlife rescue operations useless or redundant. On June 30th, Sea Shepherd Gulf Operations Liaison Dr. Bonny Schumaker and Sea …
A brief 60-second, very cute show of dogs and cats smiling, including one of the “Vicktory Dogs” rescued from Michael Vick’s abuse, created by www.ImTiredOnline.com. You’ll definitely smile and even laugh out loud if you’re an animal lover.
**Important update: CNN did not thoroughly investigate. These dogs are still missing! Kenn Sakurai’s Facebook www.facebook.com skirts the issue and seems to have tricked the media in believing he had rescued the dogs. **Another update via Sakura’s FB: www.facebook.com — My original description of the video: Amazing footage showing one dog protecting another dog after 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. No one could separate these canine BFFs until animal rights supporters came to the rescue. The 2 dogs were eventually found together in the Ibaraki Perfecture near Tokyo. The injured dog is being cared for at a pet clinic and the other is in good shape at a nearby shelter. Reported on CNN by Jeanne Moos on Friday, March 18, 2011 — A viewer posted the following concern after this video went public: Do NOT donate money to Kenn Sakurai. He did not rescue these dogs and is only using this video on Facebook to collect money via PayPal. These dogs are still LOST. The rescue reports on CNN and UK are based on the lies Kenn Sakurai told on his Facebook page and were not checked out. There is no proof the dogs are rescued. They are still missing and unaccounted for. Original video: www.youtube.com

The Urban Animal Alliance is a partnership of concerned citizens dedicated to raising awareness of animal rights in urban America. Our members largely hail from poorer communities and understand that the plight of animals is a serious one, one with enormous social reprecussions, one that is often overlooked and that needs to be addressed immediately. We are comprised of Hip hop artists, sports role models, ordinary concerned citizens and entertainment bigwigs alike, all working together dedicated to changing the social mores that violently impact not only so many voiceless animals, but the children around them.
Most of the dogs sold in pet stores and over the Internet come from puppy mills — mass breeding operations where hundreds of dogs are kept in overcrowded and often unsanitary conditions without proper veterinary care, food, water or human interaction. Watch this video to find out how miserable life is for a puppy mill dog. For two weeks in August 2009, United Animal Nations (UAN) deployed 34 volunteers with its Emergency Animal Rescue Service (EARS) to remove approximately 550 dogs from a puppy mill and care for them at a temporary shelter. The dogs were found living in filthy conditions and exposed to harsh elements year round. Many were severely matted and suffering from chronic infected wounds, internal and external parasites, and serious skin and eye infections. It was obvious that many of these animals had never known life outside their wire cages. Read more about this situation on our Web site: www.uan.org Read more about puppy mills here: www.uan.org

In January 2010, DDB Founder Tamira Thayne was charged with trespassing for providing food, water, and straw to two underweight dogs in Lilly, PA. The charges were subsequently dropped on appeal. Dog caretakers Jason and Krystal Cann came to Dogs Deserve Better in June with the desire for their dogs to be a success story. So on June 6, 2010, everyone got their miracle.

SHERE KHAN weighs over 700lbs! He is a Siberian/Bengal tiger and he eats grass just like your domestic cat at home 
Why do cats eat grass? … Cats do not possess the ability to separate meat from fur bones or feathers before eating like we do so they have to eat the digestible parts along with the indigestible parts. When the cat has finished digesting what he can the rest has to be removed from the system. To try and pass this through the digestive tract could cause obstruction and severe illness so this is where grass eating comes in. The habit of eating grass triggers the natural process of regurgitation of indigestible foods including its own fur balls which would otherwise obstruct the system. This can appear to us humans as if the cat is being violently ill but this is not the case and in fact is very beneficial to the cat.
