Me and my dogs in Halifax, Nova Scotia: You think a catch pole is bad? This is what they do in India

You think a catch pole is bad? This is what they do in India

Unbelievable - In sections of India they use these things called "iron tongs" - I found this video through my google alert for "dog friendly" if you can believe it - the alert was for an article about the city Ahmedabad and it's efforts to appear more dog friendly and they're thinking about starting to use devices other than these "iron tongs" to catch their stray dogs. This video is unbelievable - so much for India having any kind of reverence for animals... (which leads me to another post about Mahatma Gandhi which I've been meaning to make for a long time, which I think I'll finally make tonight because of this horrific video)

I know this comment is too early for the ghandi post but I couldn't resist :)

Penn and Teller did a little expose on ghandi in their show Bullshit.

Watch it here -

Oh Joan, the things we humans do to our fellow animals.

You don't have to go outside Canada to find cruelty.

Just visit a slaughterhouse.

Sigh ...

I think I'm going to have nightmares about the screams of that poor dog. How horrible.

Commenting Policy

I let almost all comments go through, unless you are attacking me or the subject of my post, in which the comment will be deleted.

I also don't let comments go through that I don't feel like approving, so in other words, whether or not the comment will be approved is highly subjective.

I've also heard that there is some technical glitch with my commenting function on the blog - and it's really hard to post a comment - which suits me fine, so you might want to save your work before you press send - or you may get a bit angry at yourself for typing all that garbage out - and it was a completely waste of your time.

Gail Benoit Information

My blog posts about Gail Benoit have proven to be very popular - people seem to be googling her, and finding my blog - so I want to put some information on the sidebar so that people trying to find information about her can read this information quickly and get the news they need. They are Nova Scotia's most infamous sellers of dogs alongside the road and out of the backs of cars - and the dogs they sell are notorious for being sick, diseased, and dying. It is very sad that people only find out about them AFTER they've spent hundred's of dollars and the animal they've bought has suffered and usually died. The only way Ms. Benoit and Mr. Bailey are going to stop their trade of torture is if people stop buying their product. In the later part of 2008 they have been the news again - I've built a page with information about them at http://gailbenoit.ca/ or http://danabailey.ca/
