Where do they get their animals from? Do they have council contracts or is it all surrenders?

I was surprised and grossed out to get a lick on the face from my 4 m/o boy tonight that smelt like poo. He's never eaten his own poo before! Why now? And why did he have to kiss me straight after? Is this abnormal? Should I take him to the vet?

So can you buy monkeys on ebay now? That's bizarre. I find it hard to believe someone just bought a monkey on the internet as a present!

This topic was actually featured in "In The News" before it was split into two. I just searched for the topic & added my comment. I don't think it's good that they show this sort of thing on the news. what can the public learn from it? not to do it? that should be obvious. i don't think theres much chance of a copycat attack like there was with the cat in the bin. showing cat in the bin on the news was stupid as any nutter can copy that You do have a point there. However, often when the media allow these stories to be spread worldwide, it often ends in the person responsible being recognised and prosecuted. For instance: The girl that threw the puppies into the river, was found, due to the massive amount of media attention. They didn't need to show the 'cat in the bin' video worldwide to catch the lady who did it. I'm sure others have copied that already. RSPCA doesn't tend to go to the media with cruelty stories. I think fear of copycat attacks might be behind that. Maybe Im just soft and get upset seeing those images.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-McGrath-...40357705?v=wall The McGrath Foundation are a charity raising money for Breast Cancer research and support in Australia. Whilst we agree and support their cause, this should NOT be done at the cost of the Welfare of thousands of dogs in Australia, and the social cost of gambling on families. General Information THOUSANDS of Greyhounds are bred for the racing industry in Australia every year, and THOUSANDS are killed in the name of "sport" and profit. These peaceful dogs are often mistreated in an industry concerned about winning and money - and these animals suffer as a result of this greed. No charity should rely on such miserable ventures to better their own cause. They are promoting cruelty and suffering. And for this we ask you to ask the McGrath Foundation to STOP SUPPORTING GREYHOUND CRUELTY! Send McGrath foundation an email and voice your concern: [email protected] More info on the Greyhound Industry can be found here: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/10/24/1098556290613.html http://www.aact.org.au/greyhounds.htm http://animal-lib.org.au/subjects/animals-...und-racing.html (read less) THOUSANDS of Greyhounds are bred for the racing industry in Australia every year, and THOUSANDS are killed in the name of "sport" and profit.

McGrath Foundation is copping flak for supporting greyhound racing. Good to see animal welfare advocates taking this up with the charity. http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/...sport-news.html GREYHOUNDS wearing the pink number 8 will be racing for more than just a win on the track this February. As part of the McGrath Foundation's Go The Pink Dog! campaign, all dogs in pink will raise $500 for the breast cancer charity for each race they win. The funding raised during the campaign will help employ dedicated breast care nurses across Australia and increase awareness of breast cancer in young Australian women. The initiative was launched last year in Victoria and the cause has now spread to New South Wales and Western Australia. It was launched in Tasmania yesterday in conjunction with Tasmanian Greyhound Racing. McGrath Foundation spokeswoman Tracy Bevan said she was looking forward to seeing the pink dogs take to the track. "In its first year, the Go The Pink Dog! campaign raised an amazing $50,000," she said. Tasmanian Greyhound Racing media and communications manager Wendy Kennedy said there had already been seven pink dog winners in Tasmanian races, with four winning in Devonport on Tuesday. "The greyhound racing community in Tasmania has thrown its weight behind this fundraising initiative," Ms Kennedy said.
