Animal hoarding is an obsession that is growing in victims and recognition throughout the world today. The typical animal hoarder has a serious psychological condition called obsessive compulsive disorder. Animal hoarders also may be suffering from different kinds of addictions, delusional disorder, attachment disorder, dementia, and even zoophilia. These people feel they have the responsibility to keep and care for an overabundant amount of animals, thinking that they are helping these creatures. In reality, these pet owners are only putting their animals through abuse and neglect because it is impossible for them to provide the proper care for such a large number of pets. These owners are not only harming their animals with

Maybe you see raccoons as pests. Gross, feisty, angry animals carrying any number of strange diseases and knocking over your trash can. Is that how you think of raccoons? Apparently you're probably not Canadian then. As animal control in Toronto took their time coming to pick up a dead raccoon, the residents of Toronto, one by one, turned the scene into a vigil for the deceased animal. A raccoon funeral, if you will. With the raccoon remaining on the sidewalk all day, the raccoon funeral slowly turned into a social media frenzy, with pictures spreading and #DeadRaccoonTO

We need guns for safety of our families at home or on the street and to protect our personal property we have worked hard for. From my own experience, my neighbor pulled a loaded gun on a intruder and didn't even need to shoot for the intruder to obey. Nobody was harmed and nobody was killed; the intruder just left. Moreover, there are dangerous animals at least in California that I know of roaming wild even on residential streets. For example my Dad’s friend had a Mountain lion attack his pigs and he had to grab his shotgun to protect his livestock and when he went outside the Mountain lion charged at him and he had to shoot the Dangerous Mountain lion. Events similar to this are very common for Americans living in country and rural areas, that need to protect themselves and their livestock. Self defense is most respected and better for the community then being a victim. It is up to you for the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

When Mary Ray of Woodbury, Minnesota unexpectedly passed away at her home during the winter of 2012, the last thing she would have expected was that her beloved perfectly healthy, young pet cat would be euthanized by the Woodbury Humane Society shelter instead of being sent to the home she had detailed in a note posted on her refrigerator. In retrospect, this would not have happened if the Woodbury Humane Society shelter had adopted the new and growing trend of “no-kill” philosophy for animal shelters, which simply stated, is an operating philosophy for a shelter that is based upon the premise that no healthy adoptable animal should be euthanized for any reason and that they should be sheltered until they find a loving home. The number of

Most times when we think of poisoning, we think of humans. Animals are also poisoned. There is an Animal

60 percent of united states public land aloud hunting. Quick kills are rare and animals suffer prolong painful deaths when hunters severely injure them. Bow hunting exacerbates the problem; dozens of scientific studies have shown that bow hunting yields more than a 50 percent wounding. Hunting is often called a sport which disguise a cruel, needless killing spree as a socially acceptable activity. The concept of sport involved competition between the two consenting parties, the adherence to rules and fairness ensured by an intervening referee and achieving highest scores. Most animals who are slaughtered for their fur are raised on notoriously cruel fur farms, millions of raccoons, coyotes, wolves, bobcats, nutria, beavers, otters and other fur bearing animals are killed every year. Various types of traps like snares, underwater traps and other types of traps. But the steel jaw trap is mostly used in Fur trapping. When an animal steps on the spring of the steel jaw and it shut on the animal lib. The animal frantically struggles in excruciating pain as the trap cuts his or her flesh.

Feral hogs have recently become a problem in middle Tennessee. Although these animals are not native to this area, it is believed that the hogs were brought in illegally for sport hunting. Although this move was ill advised, the wild hogs were trapped and brought into North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. If not controlled, the overpopulation of these animals will continue to cause extensive damage for residents. Wild hogs have continued to overpopulate areas and in an effort to find new land and areas of food sources, have continued to move west. These hogs are becoming a nuisance as far west as Wilson County in Tennessee.

"Sport" hunting is a violent form of recreation that has left countless animals maimed, and orphaned animals vulnerable to starvation, exposure, and predation. This activity disrupts natural animal population dynamics and has contributed to the extinction of animal species all over the world, including the Tasmanian tiger and the great auk.(1,2)

Trapping is a fun thing to do, but first you must get a license and tags for your traps. During the winter you can trap and get money from the animals you catch. Trapping is a way to reduce the spread of disease and prevent over population of animals. Remember you will not always catch anything and sometimes you won’t catch anything for several days.

Why would anyone abuse an animal? Animal abuse is rather common, you could be doing it even if you don’t think you are. There are many animals that deal with abuse or neglect, about 1,423 animals a year. That’s in the U.S. alone. Animals are living creatures, just like you, and they’re not cheap. Neglect is another version of abuse, and it can come in many forms. Neglect could be starving them, not giving them medical care, not paying attention to them, etc, etc. Animals are just like humans, I mean, sure they can’t make their own meals, and they can’t drive a car, but that doesn’t mean they have fewer rights than you do. If an animal is abused or neglected the animal will be taken and the owner should be charged. If someone abuses an

The police concluded that on August 14th, late at night around 11:00 p.m., a wild raccoon sneaked into Kushima Village Forest Museum through a drain outlet, opened plastic covers of head tanks, ate seven newts, and left there without being seen.

New york is probably known as one of the most rat infested city. There are many programs that try to end the rat dilemma, but the rat population is so large that it’s hard to control. Not only are rats found on the train, they are also found in neighborhoods such as the Bronx. Many people complain about the rat situation to the city, but the homeowners take no action when it’s time to clean up their own mess (Bragdon et al., 2007-2009). Many of the rats that are seen all over the city are huge, and go crawling around for any food that they can find, mainly in trash cans.

Many companies, like McDonalds, lie about what actually goes on at their farms. “Free range” “Cruelty free” “Killed in a humane way” Those are just some the things that consumers are told and believe everyday. Saying thank you to the animal before munching on its flesh and bones doesn’t excuse what happens to them. The abuse and torture animals go through at factory farms isn’t fair and needs to be stopped immediately.

I remember when I was 11 years old and my dog, Happy, was sick with cancer. Since the moment we rescued Happy he was the sweetest, most energetic pet I had ever seen. He remained this way over the many years that we had him, hence, his name. I remember the day we decided it was time to let go. We took Happy to the veterinarian clinic and were taken into a little room. All four of us, my brother, my parents, and I, huddled around Happy as he was lying on the counter. The veterinarian gave us some time to spend with him alone and say our goodbyes. When she returned she asked if we were ready and gave him an injection that would take him away from this world forever. Happy was euthanized due to his illness. As terribly
