POPSDonkey I resisted making a smart "ass" remark. I used to raise these very bright animals. From my observations they appear to be brighter than horses.

POPSThinking the way animals do
Temple Grandin Ph.D. is an assistant professor of animal behaviour at Colorado State Uni. She suffers from a form of autism, and describes the way she thinks as thinking in pictures. This has helped her understand the way Animals think, with direct association, rather than a logical process. A significant statement which can apply to most people, is the fact that originally as far as she was aware everybody thought the same way. Until she asked people and found this was not the case. She describes a radio station person who said she had no pictures, in her mind, but thought in terms of emotions or words. I'm sure I can understand my dogs. They seem to think in a manner that is simple, and straightforward, it can just be a matter of associating cues with behavior, and remembering Pavlov. I think in Pictures and sounds. There is music I can 'hear' in my mind that not only has the same 'quality' as the original, but there is a remarkable capacity to edit. Perhaps something like Auti

POPSAnimals can't speak for themselves "It would be a mistake to idealise traditional animal husbandry as the standard by which the animal-products industry falls short: traditional animal husbandry is brutal enough, just on a smaller scale. A better standard by which to judge both practices would be the simple standard of humanity: is this truly the best that human beings are capable of?"

POPSdon't mess with porcupines :~( A Pit bull decided he would battle a Porcupine in back of his house here in Southern California .. But being both brave and stupid, he ultimately learned the hard way that he can't always win, no matter how tough you are... A vet sedated the dog, and then removed a total of 1,347 quills. The dog survived, and hopefully learned a valuable lesson.

POPSSorry Again I don't like any kind of discrimination. Pitbulls, rottweilers etc are not the problem, humans are. If you can stomach it, watch this video. Beware! Graphic images, but WATCH it anyway! Do not turn away from what goes on and the suffering millions of animals must endure every day. Day after day after day. Who is the real killer? Working in animal welfare, I have seen such horrific cruelty from the hand of man, that it simply defies description. I can guarantee you, that the real and overwhelming problem we face is not some breed, but mankind's vicious and brutal treatment of our fellow creatures on this earth, including each other. "Punish the deed, not the breed." Please help fight and punish the real killer....and it is not the dogs! "The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it treats it's animals." -- Mahatma Gandhi
