POPSVeterinary Whistleblowers Don't Win We think we are protected by Whistle blower laws, but Universities have lots of attorneys and they have protections or immunities. The University veterinarians have a really tough job. Whistle blowers rarely come out well.

POPSHome, Auto of UC-Santa Cruz Vivisectors Set Ablaze Protesters shot themselves in the foot this time. I am an animal nut, I love them. However, this action does not help their cause, it alienates them from the general public ever getting behind them. They may have just dropped the entire movement back 30 years. Even PETA knows better than to do this. For the backlash protest, visit my clips!

POPSAnimal hoarding:An expert illuminates the psychology behind this behavior Hoarders often have major dysfunction in work, social and daily activities, reduced awareness of surroundings, and impaired ability to form close relationships with people. Contrary to what we originally thought, animal hoarding does not seem to be strongly associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and it is not yet defined as an independent psychological condition. Clinical evaluations indicate that it is often associated with a wide variety of psychological disorders, including borderline personality disorder.

Animal rights activists find employees of a major California operation forcing "downer" cows into the slaughterhouse, sometimes using a forklift to transport cows too sick to walk. 143 million pounds of meat are recalled, much of which had been sold to school lunch programs.

POPS Lion Rides Horse In China Freak Show >>>>>INSANE SADISTIC FREAK SHOW<<<<< Here's yet another form of animal abuse in China - does this country's government have a department dedicated to inventing new and innovative ways of abusing animals?! Skinning cats alive in fur farms, feeding live cattle to lions in one zoo and now making a lion in another zoo (which seems to have had its teeth removed) ride a terrified horse. It defies belief. What's more unbelievable is how the International Olympic Committee can award the Olympics to a country with such an appauling human and animal rights record.

POPSAdversity Can Affect Brain While we have known for some time that serotonin, or lack of it , is linked to depression, substance abuse and other reckless behaviors, it appears that scientists already know there is a gene-environment interaction that can cause this to happen. Since serotonin can control reproductive systems, I was wondering if this might explain why only the Alpha female (normally) has the only litter in the wolf pack. Maybe the other females are so environmentally challenged through harassment by the dominant pair, that serotonin is reduced and that affects ovulation; just a thought...

POPSKangaroo Abuser Cites Man's 'Dominion' A reward has been offered if anyone knows anything about Tyson's whereabouts. As for the laws, the defense and the cruelty itself? Where to begin? Zoos in Canada only have regulations for native animals such as bears or coyotes. Keepers have no rules for exotic animals, including lions, tigers or kangaroos. "McElroy was brought to court for her manner with native animals and unfortunately it has nothing to do with Tyson's well-being," she said.
