Guest Post: Foreclosures Threaten Pets As Well As People

4 The Love Of Animals

Foreclosures Threaten Pets As Well As People. While many animal shelters already struggle on a day-to-day basis to care for the millions of unwanted animals that are dropped at their door, the numbers have grown to an almost unmanageable degree over the last few years. The culprit for this surge in animal homelessness is a testimonial to these trying times: human homelessness.

Dog Is Good!

4 The Love Of Animals

Dog Is Good is a great clothing and gift company for people who love dogs. We recently got a chance to try one of their shirts, and I have to say, it is the perfect spring/fall shirt! It has long sleeves, but is made of a soft lightweight pima cotton, making it just right when the weather is just a little cool. It would be great for colder months too, but I love being able to wear it with out a jacket.

In this article, they admit they underestimated the scope of the oil slick. This article talks about how BP skipped some testing of cement linings hours before the explosion occured.

Victoria's Secret Stops Selling Exotic Animal Skins

Critter News

Victoria's Secret was selling what? I didn't know they were doing this in the first place! And I just bought something from them last month for the first time. Anyway, I'm wondering if the decision could have been influenced by PETA's investigation of how reptiles are being skinned alive for these sales. This PETA post doesn't claim the credit though.

Animal Studies as Predictive Models are Fallible

Gulf Oil a Looming Threat to Marine Life

Critter News

So far, we're not seeing the large-scale impact of this oil spill on marine life. But there are concerns out there. It may not be immediate, like oil-coated birds, but slower and more subtle, like the effect on oxygen levels in the sea. This is a complex ecosystem we're dealing with. From NPR. Especially troubling to scientists are the effects the oil and dispersants could be having on dissolved oxygen levels in the water.

National Dog Bite Prevention Week

4 The Love Of Animals

Did you know that May 16-22 is National Dog Bit Prevention Week? Neither did we! That is, not until we got an email from the USPS. Now that we know, we are happy to spread the word. They are working hard to help spread that word about how to prevent dog bites. Here are the tips and stats that they sent us: Nearly 2,900 letter carriers were bitten by dogs last year, yet that pales in comparison to the 4.7 million Americans needlessly victimized by dog bites each year.

Oil Spill Visuals Finally Arriving

Yep, the spill is reaching land and you can go here for a slide show of the impacts.
