Status dogs - weapon of choice?
Worrying trend for dogs used in aggressive, intimidating and anti-social behaviour.
Cut out the stuffing!
Did you know that one in three pets is overweight? We claim to be a nation of animal lovers but are we actually guilty of killing our pets with kindness?

doglovershirley - animals do not cry like we do, very, very few species do cry (I think only us and some apes) (??)
In any case, yes animal cruelty is stupid, in fact any cruelty is stupid but then mankind is stupid. Some children are subjected to terrible mental and physical cruelty and then they can grow-up to be cruel in turn; some people are just born cruel even if they've always been treated well themselves. Look at what the Nazis did during the 2nd WW - how's that for cruelty? Where did that come from? Who first suggested doing such wicked things? How do you broach that with someone? "I'm going to do something unspeakably cruel to that person/animal - do you want to join me?"
I heard a woman being interviewed on radio and she had been subjected to sexual abuse all her childhood by her father and his group of paedophile friends (along with lots of other children) - her father was a vicar and a JP and an upstanding member of the local community - when she told someone she was branded as wicked and evil. She had an untreated sexually transmitted disease for years which has made her sterile and she had been subjected to at least 2 abortions that she didn't know about until she had to have a hysterectomy because she was too young to know what was going on at the time she was given them. When this and the baby P stuff goes on in the middle of our society and we do nothing to protect these babies and children how do you expect that anyone will care about how we treat animals?

I think it would also be a good idea if we had the information on which companies have good ethics. Like you have been doing with the Freedom food. That's been brilliant, only many of my local stores do not stock much of it. It would be brilliant to have something like the Freedom food, but for cosmetics and cleaning products etc. I know for instance that The Body Shop say they are against animal testing, but they have teamed up with LOreal who do use animal testing. Personally I'm not happy with this. The only other shop I know of is Lush, but unfortunately I can't afford to pay their prices all the time. Like a lot of people these days, I'm on a budget.
Also I'd love to hear more about things that I can physically do to help the RSPCA. I can't afford to donate money, however I am a RSPCA member and I always give things to my local RSPCA charity shop. I even volunteered at my local RSPCA Veterinary Clinic for a few months. But I'd like to know more about what I can do. Such as, if there is a local kennel maybe I could do dog walking once a week, or help feed the cats at the local cattery. I think if people where made aware of things like this, things that they will enjoy doing and do not have to give up all their time for, then there would probably be a lot more volunteers. I for one would love to know more about socialising animals.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing back, because if there is more I can do to help, then I would like to know about it.

I think we should have a list of firms who harms animals simply to cut down production costs so we can do our part and protest or boycott these operations. (E.g. KFC!)
Do our part and do not support animal testing either!
Not only is it not accurate, the environment strains animals causing them to be stressed out!

Alika, the R.S.P.C.A. do operate campaigns overseas, but as always need extra funding to do so. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is another charity working overseas, also the World Society for the Protection of Animals, then there's the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. So although you probably feel that animals in Russia are getting a really bad deal (as they are, indeed) there are some organisations which try to help. The biggest problem in trying to stop animal cruelty is in trying to change the culture of the people concerned. This tends to mean a long haul in terms of educational projects to try to raise awareness of animal welfare issues. Some countries have such long-established practices that it is difficult to make people understand that animals are sentient beings, and suffer pain, stress and fear, etc, in just the same way humans do. Keep writing Alika, and keep campaigning, and raising both awareness, and money, for these hard-working animal welfare charities.

Please RSPCA "open eyes" to other nationalites how to treat animals! I think Russian people are the most cruel in the world, only if you go to RUSSIA you will see everybody wear fur, every single big city have zoos and circuses...I dont know how to fight this! I gave up eating meat and I dont wear fur, but who will follow me in RUSSIA...They will think its odd!!! I wish we had RSPCA IN Russia!

doglovershirley November 21, 2008 at 1:21 p.m.
Okay.
I seriously think it's freaking stupid how animals are treated so cruelly. It's completely stupid.
We kick them outta their habitats. What they call home gets eradicated.
Some people kill them and watch them suffer pain. Cause it's 'fun'.
Some people don't care about what the animals feel.
Animal testing? Like wtf. If you want to test it on something, test it on something that is willing to be tested on. LEAVE THEM ALONE. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE MUTATED.
If people are going to eat animals, they should at least be allowed to eat, drink and run around freely - instead of kept in tiny cages. The shouldn't be fed loads of crap that makes them grow really big in a short period of time. They should be able to enjoy a happy life, not live one where they're never even seen sunlight. And in the end, if they are going to be killed, they should be killed without any SUFFERING. Cows, pigs, chickens, fish and even dogs and cats. ect. They don't deserve to die.
The use of fur in fashion designs and stuff is just utterly stupid - to me. I mean, seriously. The fur belongs to THEM - NOT US. No body ever said that we HAD to wear fur. It's not like we're gonna die if we don't wear fur either. Just cause it looks good doesn't mean we can go and tie an innocent animal upside down and skin them alive. What if you were in their position? You wouldn't want to bleed to death. The skinning of an animal - you don't even want to think about it. It's so freaking cruel. Animals aren't on earth for us to wear them. DON'T WEAR FUR. SERIOUSLY. >:(
Poaching needs to be stopped. Seriously. Going around breaking the law by being a murderer who sells it's victims bodies is completely stupid. For example, seal hunting, whale/dolphin hunting, killing tigers, rhinos, elephants, ect.
Gambling on animals is lame. The horses who race end up getting slaughtered. In painful ways. The dogs used in dog races end up having the same fate. Dog fighting is stupid. Forcing something to fight to the death is just. Stupidly stupid. It's a waste of money. And it's cruel to the animals. They're not meant to go around running as fast as they can.
Going and capturing an animal and training it to do stuff or putting it in a glass cage thingy is wrong. Animals aren't meant to go around juggling things. Nor should they be taken out of their natural habitat cause that's basically like making someone go live on mars with all the martians and stuff.
THEY SUFFER PAIN LIKE WE DO.
THEY CRY LIKE WE DO.
THEY'RE NOT STUPID.
THEY HAVE A LIFE AND THEY WANT TO LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST.
THEY'RE JUST LIKE US.
And the worst bit is, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING TO THEM.
Save the endangered species.
DO NOT FREAKING WEAR FUR.
By products that are against animal testing, ect.
Treat all animals humanely.
Stop animals cruelty please.

miamelia November 21, 2008 at 9:15 a.m.
I believe that animals are innocent and that just because they have no voice and cannot speak English does not mean that they do not feel PAIN.
I mean like seriously, treat animals as human beings who cannot speak. Do we treat mute people badly and slaughter them for their meat/skin (fur)?
NO. WE DO NOT. THEN WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT FOR ANIMALS?
RSPCA, please stop the inhuman slaughter of animals, dogs, horses, cats... etc. BASICALLY, animals shouldn't be SLAUGHTERED and TORTURED just because people like to eat them -.-
That's kinda lame. But as for some people who eat pork, beef or chicken. I mean like...it's okay because they are not overdoing it. BUT making chickens super duper fat just because you want them to die faster and get more meat? That's kinda retarded and mean. Cows and pigs are like awesome too and I don't want them to purposely get killed just because people want to eat them....
Also, we need to prevent extinction of sharks, polar bears and other special animals. THIS WORLD IS CRAZY AT TIMES. There's pretty much 3 kinds of people, you know. People who love animals and try to prevent animal cruelty. People who want to prevent animal cruelty but aren't exactly doing anything/much. AND FINALLY, people who don't care about animals and shove themselves with shark's fin soup, dog's meat, horse's meat everyday. THIS IS REALLY UPSETTING TO HEAR ABOUT.
We hears news about people dying. What about the animals? Animals didn't exist for us to torment and torture. They existed to bring love and wonders to us. And what are we doing in return? Killing them? For their meat? For their fur? THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
RSPCA, please do as much as you can to stop animal cruelty of all types. PLEASE.
I can make movies, flyers, posters, newspaper reports on anything. You name it. My only urgent condition is that you have to promise to try your best in ending animal cruelty of all kinds, all over the world.
I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I would really like the RSPCA to bring attention to the horsemeat trade. I've seen pictures of how the horses travel many miles, to reach oversea's countries where horsemeat is a delicasy. The picture's were horrifying due to the discusting traveling conditions and because of this many horses die on the journey. It sickens me to think that anyone would want to eat horsemeat or any other "pets" such to speak, i love animals and have had horses in the past, It upsets me so much that nowdays this suffering is still going on, come on people it's time for animal suffering to END.

Another issue I would like to see tackled by the R.S.P.C.A. is the selling of exotic animals in pet shops, or come to that, the selling of any animals in pet shops. I really believe animals should not be sold over the counter. There are issues here, such as whether the animals are properly cared for when the shop is closed, whether any information about the animals' needs is provided at the point of sale, whether anyone knows if customers are just making an impulse buy, and whether they have the right conditions in which to keep the animals at home. Come on R.S.P.C.A. You are very strict about rehoming an animal in your care to a proper, caring environment, rightly so. Please extend this responsibility to animals bought in shops.

Ceajay-G November 2, 2008 at 2:35 p.m.
There are so many comments about animal cruelty in China in this list - I don't remember reading much about the subject in any of the R.S.P.C.A. 'Animal Life' magazines; what is this organisation doing about the problem? I would normally advocate a boycott of goods made in China, to hit them where it really hurts, but so much stuff is made in China nowadays, it's difficult to buy any consumer goods that have been made elsewhere! It would be really helpful if the R.S.P.C.A could publish a list of goods that are still made in the UK, or in Europe. Anyway, I wholeheartedley agree that something must be done to stop the tortuous treatment of animals by the Chinese. It is not on, in this day and age, and they cannot expect to be treated as a civilised nation while such barberous cruelty is allowed to continue.

I saw this video from the RSPCA about transporting these poor sheep all the way from Australia (they should be ashamed) and Britain too because the same goes on here. I wonder if any one of us as humans have any empathy left to give to others and just try to feel how it must be like to be one of those Lambs travelling, maybe talking to each other and trying to console each other not knowing where they where going, think if you were a sheep, or any other animal, treated brutely and not knowing why! What I love most of all, is to see the trust in an Animals eyes then I feel that I have been really blessed with something special, just try to put your shoes into some one elses and try to feel, the poor man, the one who walks passed you and the animals (who are silent)Try to read they feelings, it's not so hard if you care, I think that what life's all about. To be responsible for our actions and give as much love to all! Judy

What are our views on road kills? Isn't it in effect hit-and-run. It would be naive to think any convictions will be made for roadside accidents like such, but shouldn't drivers be able to stop if a kid ran in front of them?
What are your views? I just think life is so unfair and prejudiced. That a dogs life is valued differently to a hedgehog for example - let along human ones (and there's divisions within that even!)

sammyvanstaden - I'd love to hand out campaign material too. Seal Clubbing in my opinion currently has the least amount of public awareness.
It is totally barbaric in every sense of the word and no matter how much people don't want to hear about what happens to those seal pups I think more consciousness about this issue has to be created amongst our society if we have any hope of making a difference.
There are several animal protection societies working to raise awareness for Endangered Animals and how people can contribute to fund breeding projects, re-introduction schemes etc. But as far as I am aware (correct me if I am wrong) there are not many protection societies that put real focus on the issues of Seal Clubbing and Bull Fighting. If people here in the Uk have access to campaign material from websites such as this, e.g access to fliers and posters, then I would certainly volunteer to distribute, or even help to design some of the material and promote the causes near and around where I live.

I would love to give out flyers and stick posters locally. It would be really cool to make a protest, to show how serious we are. I recieved an e-mail about seal clubbing, and the pictures made me sick. I wanted to scream at those people.
It would be good to have a part of the site about wild animals (not forgetting reptiles!) so people can find more about the animals they like.
Lastly, we should sort out all these animal problems - seal clubbing, bull fighting, greyhound racing, over working work hores etc - even though it is easier said than done.

It's about time we had some real action regarding docking of tails.
I work in a shelter, and it astounds me when we are still getting people bringing in dogs that have been docked. Badly docked too!!
When are these free advertising papers and websites going to be punished for allowing people to advertise docked puppies??? It is blatant!! They have pictures of litter after litter that are docked! This is a barbaric practise, and as no vet will dock unless on medical grounds, or if the breeder can prove they are working dogs, then it's obvious these breeders are doing it themselves.
It's disgusting, if members of the public could only see what happens when it's done wrong, it would stop the demand for docked puppies.

I would like to see more publicity given to the dog and cat meat trade in China. This year, Bejing will host the Olympic Games so China is a country very much in the news. However, I do not believe that China deserves our support. Visitors to China should visit their zoos and witness the cruelty there. This is not just about poor conditions. In a Chinese Zoo you can buy a goat to throw alive into a tiger enclosure, and you can then enjoy the spectacle of the terrified animal being torn to shreds. This is entertainment in China. Visit the Guangzhou market and watch dogs sliding around in their own blood while they are being beaten to death in front of you and your children before being skinned alive. Yes, China will be in the news this year, but let it be in the news for all the right reasons, publicise their barbaric treatment of animals, encourage the public to boycott Chinese goods and definitely educate the public about the fur trade. People should be aware of the widespread mis-labelling of fur products so that you don't know that you are buying the remains of someone's pet dog or cat. Please publicise as graphically as you can these practices. The pictures shock and disturb, but if they make people at least think about what they are buying, you will have made a difference.

I am concerned about cats. There seems to be an ever increased hatred towards cats. I fear if society gets worse cats will become extinct by mankind.

Dogs in hot cars is there any flyers or leaflets I could hand out? Also all animals out of circuses-let the animals be free.

more powers to seize animals that are illtreated, and clamping down on not only puppy farms, but backyard breeders!

Fireworks should be banned, but no they never will be as it's a big money making organisation. At least let's just have licenced organised displays. Nowadays fireworks go off for any occasion, ie. birth of a child, coming of age, etc. The old people must be reminded of the war. Animals are frightened to death. It's about time something was done about them!!!!

I am routing for this network, as the cruelty I read about is getting worse, my dog and two cats, although we think they are dumb, they just don't speak our language, but they know every word we say to them, they are even alert to conversations being spoken on the phone.

Lets put more pressure on politicians about loud fireworks. Its an absolute disgrace. Look what we have acheived with the badgers. It can be done.

I think all products shouldnt of been tested on animals. It really cruel, but apart from that alot of the time they dont even react to products the same as we do! It people HAVE to test, i think they should test on humans that have said they can! Animals dont have voices and cant say no, they are just put in small cages in labs, just to later be tested on, how cruel can humans be? poor animals. :(
