This painterly photo has distinctive images. I see the profile of a horse’s head with a white and blue face on the left side and his nostril in the middle. Another striking eye with contrasting color is on the right. The pastel colors are quite striking with great lighting and vivid colors. The bark of trees offers us surprising imagery after focusing on the illustrations under the veneer of peeling bark. It is truly nature’s “secret canvas.” The blue horse looks like he might have a small tear in his beautiful blue eye considering the fate of his equine friends who have been abused, neglected and killed due to human consumption and greed. I am an active animal activist and donate any proceeds I receive from my photography to groups to preserve animals, both wildlife and domestic. I will upload an editorial I wrote on the crisis affecting Mustangs and have contributed to many organizations to stop the brutality and violence against these majestic creatures. I admire everyone who is active in fightening the cruelty that has victimized our precious wildlife with some species at great risk of extinction. Our planet’s ecosystem also is in great peril suffering the consequences of man’s destruction of the natural environment.

It breaks my heart to think of these poor creatures, behind bars all their lives, never seeing sunlight, standing on cages with no straw, crushed up against each other for the whole of their life until they drop down dead…......no sunny side up for them in their poor little lives. Very very sad :o( The barcode is an actual picture of a battery hen, squashed into a cage for the rest of her life…..the egg the produce of extreme cruelty…......that is what the barcode should show on every battery produced egg…..the suffering.

You have heard them, canines barking or just barely barking with a soulful whimper at all hours in all places neglected and psychologically abused. Chained and caged to small spaces for days no one caring, a neighbor a relative or even friends, people who own dogs and that is the extent of it, they own the dog a dogslife is hell hell is lifedogs sentenced to just exist and it is legal not morally right…water boarding might be better at least the torturer gives you that added attention. / You can report this abuse in some cities and yes send a card anonymously not all cities will take action there are bigger issues to deal with or you can listen to the saddest of the saddest sounds of one of the best friend to mankind whine and living a lifedogs sentence, better to put them down the owner will sooner or later. Not as newsworthy or glamorous as advocating saving seals, polar bears, tigers the list is endless and relevant. Canines and cats are in your own backyard spaying and neutering is one of the responsibilities that as humans we must do and so is getting and giving help to animals being abused by neglect, chained and sometimes caged. / Just a clarification I am not suggesting sending a card to the owner that is up to you or putting up a poster, some cities provide barking dog packets. The barking and whining is the abuse of the owner, dogs need to play exercise and interact with other animals and people, to be physically and psychologically healthy and happy….you see a happy dog and that look is in their eyes…your eyes. / More stuff at: hinkiepinkie

PSPCA Rescues Hundreds of Cats and Other Animals From Animal 'Sanctuary'

I’ve been in bed with a migraine all day and just got up a little while ago to check all my email. This message from the Pennsylvania SPCA is one of the last messages I read and my heart is sick with grief ~ especially because this happened so close to home. Here’s the text from the email: Dear Friend, I spent all night moving sick and dying cats into cages for transport to the animal hospital. I am exhausted. Everyone around me is exhausted, but there is still more work to do. More cats to help. On Thursday night, the Pennsylvania SPCA raided a place called Tiger Ranch. There were more than 600 cats living on the 30-acre property. Tiger Ranch advertised itself as a “no-kill sanctuary” so people dropped their unwanted pets and stray cats off thinking that they were saving them. Instead, the cats were neglected, underfed and left to die. The cats were living in filthy, cramped conditions, without enough food or water, and many were suffering from untreated illnesses. When they died, the owner of the property buried their bodies in large burial pits and covered them with dirt. It is a horrific, nightmarish scene. Cat fur lines the ground around the burial pits. And even worse, there are dozens of dead cats in freezers, waiting to be buried. On Thursday night, the owner of Tiger Ranch was arrested. We have now seized all of the cats and are providing prompt medical care. With the help of partners like the ASPCA and local rescue organizations, we have rescued most of the cats. Some were so ill that they had to be humanely euthanized. Some died before we arrived or on the way to the animal hospital. But we’ve saved many hundreds of them. The Pennsylvania SPCA has set up a shelter and animal hospital just for these cats in Clarion County, PA. We will be fully providing all medical care and boarding until they are well enough to be adopted. We are accepting donations to the Tiger Ranch Fund to help pay for our efforts. You can support the Pennsylvania SPCA and donate directly to save these neglected cats online. Just write “Tiger Ranch” in the dedication field. We also accept donations over the phone (215 426 6304 ext. 217) or via mail. Please contact Rachel McCrystal, Director of Development, at rmccrystal@pspca.org if you have any further questions about donating to help our efforts. I am shocked by the neglect I’ve seen over the past two days. One small black cat dead in a litter box. Dozens of skinny cats pushing each other out of the way to get to one dish of water. Many cats that were so weak from dehydration that they could barely walk. Some literally blind from illness or bleeding from their mouths. Hundreds of sick, sneezing, crying cats. As we work here in Clarion County, providing urgent medical care and trying to ascertain what exactly happened at that horrible place, I know that these cats will never again have to suffer like that. I am promising that to each and every one of them. / / Please help if you can. All my best, Howard Howard R. Nelson, Chief Executive Officer Here’s the news story in it’s entirety. You Can Help / You can support the Pennsylvania SPCA and donate directly to save these neglected cats online. Just write “Tiger Ranch” in the dedication field.

The image paired with this narrative is in the art section. / Most people who work closely with animals, such as animal trainers, take it as a matter of fact that animals have emotions. Accounts by those who work with elephants, for example, make it clear that training an animal will meet with little success if the trainer has no insight into the animal’s feelings. I contribute to an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee that rescues elephants from the cruel conditions of abuse, especially as victims of neglect and injury when confined to work in circuses. The stories iof these wounded and sensitive animals are profoundly touching. After 26 years of torment as a circus animal, Jenny who had many leg and foot injuries was rescued by this sanctuary. She did not know that her mother Shirley or aunt had been rescued years before her. When Jenny met Shirley, her mother, they recognized each other instantly and locked trunks for a long time to show the deep bonds that were formed as a young elephant. Jenny’s cruel years at the circus and the strong bonds of family were as strong as the day Shirley helplessly saw her daughter chained and taken away from her mother. Elephants are a very sensitive animals and their long term memories are astounding. They grieve and mourn the loss of their family much in the way we would if a family member was abducted against their will. Most scientists working with animals in the wild make infereces based on empathy to make sense of their behavior, such as, “If I had just lost my closest companion, I, too would not feel like eating for some time.” Thinking about feelings has proven to be a valuable way of thinking about behavior. Viewing elephants in their natural habitat is an extraordinary experience. I took several pictures of herds during a trip to Africa, one that shows a mother and four generations of her family. This bark photograph like my other abstracts can be interpreted in many ways. It has great color and texture so there are many images within the larger image. Using the larger format to view this photograph will give you the opportunity to project what you see. Although, I perceive many images, I saw the trunks of elephants immediately. This was a synchonistic event since at the time, I was scanning my photos of elephants in the wild and had just read the articles that the elephant sanctuary had sent me. The stories are so touching and painful that often they were difficult to read. The torment and punitive actions by trainers, those who kill for their ivory and skins and the lack of understanding of their emotional lives is tragic. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson was a controversial Psychiatrist before he devoted himself to writing scholarly and compelling book about animals. His books which include When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals, Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs and The Pig Who Sang to the Moon offer amazing insights into the emotional life of animals. In hia profoundly important and groundbreaking book about farm animals, Jeffrey Massson reveals startling evidence that farm animals have feelings, even consciousness-and bears witness to the emotions and intelligence off these remarkable barnyard creatures, each unique with distinct qualities. Weaving history, literature, anecdotes, scientific studies and his own vivid experience, Dr. Masson observed these gentle beasts and shatters the abhorrent myth of the “dumb animal without feelings.” He writes about the cow whose calves are removed at birth, and who is then milked intentionally for a few years. As the author points out, “she is kept almost permanently pregnant to keep her milk flowing-while not allowed to keep her calf. Finally, old before her time, her usefulness for giving milk in decline, that same cow is killed, long before her natural life span has been reached.” To the extent that we prevent an animal from living the way he or she evolved to live by viewing animals as commodities exploited for their flesh, their hide, or any other body product is a tragic situation. As for pigs, there are 268,498 killed every twenty-four hours in the US alone. Jeffrey’s books are controversial, especially to those who are indifferent and ignore that animals have feelings. He boldly presents his point of view despite those who think he is “ridiculous.” He states, “Why is it generally considered ridiculous to point out that each and every one of those animals killed had a mother, almost all had siblings, and surely some were mourned by a parent or missed by a friend? Even though they were bread to be killed, their emotional capacities were not altered by such breeding. They had memories, they suffered and they grieved. I believe that everyone has a choice to be a vegetarian or to consume the meat of animals. The choice to not eat meat is a gut feeling a a committed transition that can only take place after the individual has the facts, lives with animals and believes he is making an ethical decision. I stopped eating meat about 25 years ago when I took my family to a restaurant known for its baby back ribs. All of a sudden, I looked at the plate piled high with ribs and began to cry. Although I intellectually never wanted to eat animals, that was not enough to stop me. At the restaurant that night, my emotional reaction was intense and subsequently I could never eat meat again. As a child, Charlotte’s Web was stained with tears. I could not understand how anyone could kill a darling pig because he was the runt of the litter. My sensitivity to animals began in childhood and continues to today. The choice I made was appropriate to my sensibilities. However, I do believe that it is important to give this issue thought as I did many times before reaching a point that I could no longer eat animals. and not be blind to the pain and suffering of these captive animals. Masson asks “it we don’t think about this issue, are we not morally blind, ethically impoverished and humanly remiss”? I will post some photos of elephants in Africa to continue this narrative. I want you to know about the work of an autistic adult who thinks in pictures and has written an extraordinary book, Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism and Animals in Translation. Temple Grandin Ph.D. is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock handling facilities. She tells us how she managed to bridge the gap between her condition and our own. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas who wrote the brilliant book The Hidden Life of Dogs states, “I hardly know what to say about this remarkable book…It provides a way to understand the many kinds of sentience, human and animal, that adorn the earth.” Recommended reading / Author: Jeffrey Masson / When Elephants Weep / The Pig Who Sang to The Moon / Author: Elizabeth Marshall Thomas ( my bible for dog training with love) / The Hidden Lives of Dogs / Author: Temple Grandin / My Life With Autism / Animals In Translation / Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs / Author: EB White / Charlottes’s Web :) :)
