5 great Irish pets

4 The Love Of Animals

Happy Saint Patrick’s day! Here is a fun bit of trivia for you, 5 great Irish pets. The 5 great Irish pets are: 1. Irish Setter. (Large, 60-70 pounds) This popular bird dog is best known for its flowing red hair. A high energy dog, the Irish Setter requires lots of room to run, but its sweet, stable personality makes it a great family pet. According to the Irish Setter Club of America, it “stays a puppy for a long time, and retains some of its merry Irish character forever.”. 2.

On "Pets" and "Its"

Animal Person

I went back to New York to the areas where I grew up and went to college and graduate school for a five-day weekend. I'd been longing for NYC and, as usual, thinking about moving back. The Nor'easter cured me of that longing. I visited my three godchildren and a handful of friends, and all but one friend has at least one child. As someone who's about to have a one-year old in her life, I was particularly aware of the part animals play in the lives of the children and how animals are talked about

Humane Society Cites Abuses at University of Minnesota

Critter News

Ugh. All this stuff makes me sick. Don't give me that slop about universities being better than corporations. I don't care if they're supposedly working for altruistic purposes (they're not, but that's another story), they are allowing animals to suffer through negligent care separate from the excruciating experiments they must still undergo. What BS.

Humane Society Calls for Refuge for 9 Chimps

Critter News

These chimps are currently at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s New Iberia Research Center. This is the same place that was nailed by a Humane Society undercover investigation. Videos showed mistreatment of the lab animals. The Humane Society wants 9 chimps that are not being "used" as part of experiments to be released to a sanctuary. I just love the language used by the Research Center's spokesperson.

Animal Research Grants a Waste of Taxpayer Money

Critter News

I like this letter which appeared in the Brandenton Herald (FL). President Obama promised to eliminate wasteful government spending; funding for animal research is one area that is overdue for reform. As billions flow into this waste, 44 million Americans lack adequate health care coverage. Each year, millions of cats, dogs, non-human primates and other animals suffer and die in research laboratories.

This guy sounds like a real jerk. He didn't know how his horses were being treated on his own farm? Come on, that's a Michael Vick defense that didn't work with him either.

Saving Marine Animals that Are NOT Cute

Critter News

We hear about the problem with charismatic land species. It's those species that either have a powerful personality or a cute face that endear people to them and garner news attention. Examples include panda bears, wolves, elephants, tigers, etc. It's easier to motivate people to save them as opposed to other species that are vital, but either boring or ugly.
