Share :: Battery Hens
Animal Outreaches in PE shared these photos
taken from inside a factory, after reading about the horrible conditions
discovered by the NSPCA at a Nulaid factory in Rustenburg. The photos
are a bit blurred as the camera was hidden.
What you are about to see are unhygienic conditions, dead hens left on top of cages and on the floor, cramped cages – pain and suffering beyond belief.
This is a massive industry that nobody can stop, but the facilities that hold the hens should, at the very least, be monitored and that falls on the NSPCA. The fines should be heavy so that local SPCA can employ more staff to inspect the farming industry, as this is inhumane. No animal or bird should be tortured to death in a cage.
This is the price hens have to pay to put eggs on the shelves of supermarkets. Please Share.
Kids and Dogs :: How Kids Should and Should Not Interact with Dogs
By Dr Sophia Yin
I'd like to share this great article I found on Dr Sophia Yin's blog. It has valuable information on how you can prevent dog bite incidents by ensuring that your kids are giving your family pet the space and understanding that it needs. It starts with our kids; let's teach them how:
When a child is bitten by a four-legged family member, it can turn
the household upside-down. Owners feel puzzled and confused. “They sleep
together all the time,” they might say, or, “He’s always been really
good. He even lets Timmy sit on him.” In a majority of cases, the bite
seems out of the blue. The humans can’t fathom why their once-trusted
companion would bite an innocent child. But anyone who reads “dog” or
can see life from the pet’s point of view would most likely say, “I’m
surprised it didn’t happen sooner.”
