1. Be a good neighbor! Please don’t allow your pets to have access to your neighbors’ yards and trash cans. If your dog is an incessant barker and/or howls and whines while you are away, you may want to work with an animal behaviorist or dog trainer to solve the problem. Should your neighbors have concerns, try to address them in a positive, constructive manner to avoid serious conflicts.
2. Is your pet allowed outdoors in your fenced-in or otherwise secure area? It’s smart to do routine checks of this enclosed area.
3. Be sure to remove unfamiliar or questionable items from the enclosure.
4. Supervise your pets when they are outdoors whenever possible. Do not allow your pets to spend significant amounts of time unsupervised outdoors.
5. Develop relationships with neighbors who have pets. You can join forces to create a neighborhood watch for the companion animals in the area. Be alert for anything out of the ordinary!
6. Provide a safe, confined area with a secure gate when pets are left alone outdoors.
7. Never let your pet run loose or allow him to roam free. Animals who are allowed to roam simply have more opportunities to get into potentially poisonous substances.
8. Teach your pet not to accept food or treats from strangers.
9. Report any suspicious behavior to local authorities. Remember, animal cruelty is a crime!
10. If you suspect that your pet has been poisoned, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately at (888) 426-4435.

I found a fox, caught by the leg
In a toothed gin, torn from its peg,
And dragged, God knows how far, in pain.
Such torment could not plead in vain,
He looked at me, I looked at him.
With iron jaw-teeth in his limb.
"Come, little son," I said, "Let be.....
Don't bite me, while I set you free."
But much I feared that in the pang
Of helping, I should feel a fang
In hand or face .......
but must is must .........
And he had given me his trust.
So down I knelt there in the mud
And loosed those jaws all mud and blood.
And he, exhausted, crept, set free,
Into the shade, away from me;
The leg not broken ......
Then, beyond,
That gin went plonk into the pond.
Milk is produced by the cow for its calf, is not for you.
Calves are separated from their mothers on the first night since they were born, and from then onwards, they are forced to eat on an adult cows diet, which obviously, the calf isn’t ready for.
The separation is very traumatic and distressing for the mother and the calf.
A cow can only produce milk only after it has given birth to a calf and so cows are made pregnant repeatedly and have the suffer the same separation, again and again!
These cows are so over-milked that they get udder infections, which means the milk you drink may also contain traces of blood and pus.
After a cow (our 'milk machines') cannot produce produce any more milk, they are sent to the dreaded place- The Slaughter House!
