I just received this as SPAM in my mailbox:
“Paralyzed under a crush of bodies. Fighting for breath in the stifling heat. Mouths cinched tight by plastic rope.
These horrifying images greeted our investigators when we rescued nearly 100 dogs bound for the dog meat trade in the Philippines. The dogs had been piled on top of each other in a small cage hidden in the back of a truck. Watch our exclusive video of the seizure now, and then take action to help end such terrible cruelty.
These animals were victims of the dog meat trade — a trade banned by law in 1998 but still active in certain regions of the country due to lenient fines and other light penalties.
Our team, comprised of police, volunteers from local animal protection groups, and Humane Society International staff, worked for hours to pull these dogs from the truck. Tragically, a few had already perished, smothered and over-heated. The team moved the survivors to shelters in and around Manila.
Thankfully, a new law passed this year finally gave police the tools they need to stop this cruel trade for good. But we need your help to make this law work. Please watch our video; then ask Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to increase funding and training for enforcement of this new law.
The large majority of Filipinos do not condone the consumption of dog meat. While some bill it as a “cultural practice,” the commercial trade is anything but. Local organizations successfully lobbied to strengthen the laws against it, but they are looking to us to help bring awareness to this problem and end it for good.
The dogs used in the trade are rounded up in the streets, stolen, or even bought from their unknowing owners for a paltry sum. All the dogs pulled off that truck were friendly, wagging their tails. Even after their experience, they still trusted us. They still hoped for a pat on the head, a word of kindness, someone to care.
Let these dogs know there is still hope. Help us stop the illegal dog meat trade.
Thank you for all that you do to help animals.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States”
Am I the only one that finds this email mildly ironic, coming from a society that euthanizes millions of animals a year? So it’s okay to kill them, just don’t let them suffer?
I asked a friend, “what if we did that with our homeless?” She replied, “Isn’t that part of Rudy Giuliani’s platform?”
Really, what’s the difference between eating a dog, cow, or chicken? They are all life, no? The difference is one of culture.
I have an idea! Maybe the Humane Society of America could sell the euthanized animals to the Philippines! It’s a win-win!
Unless you’re a dog. 
Anyone want my famously hearty Labrador noodle soup recipe?
Ever been complimented and offended at the same time?
I hadn’t, until today…
A woman I didn’t know asked me:
“So when are you due?”
As in pregnant!
:p
I was reading a post over at Bilerco.com about the dishonesty of a right winger:
“Over on the American Values Alliance site some folks you might know have come to the defense of AVA (and bilerico.com!) contributor Sheila Suess-Kennedy.
You might remember that Sheila wrote a post for bilerico that she turned into a column for the Indianapolis Star entitled “Sex, Lies and Politics.” The well-written column was reprinted on several blogs and made the round of mailing lists. However, out-of-state wingnut Chris Stovall penned a reply letter to the Star called “Get facts straight on same-sex issue” that insinuated Sheila was violating ethical rules governing Indiana attorneys with her opinion. Of course, this simply isn’t true and is yet another tactic in the far-right’s arsenal of dirty tricks.”
Apparently google Ads thinks so too:
A FUCKING BLIZZARD!

COME ON SUMMER!
I had to post this. I think they ought to do more investigating on this doe. She might just be a post-op tranny doe.
Buck With Large Antlers was Actually a ‘Shemale’ with Nice Rack
“Carmen Erickson and his six hunting partners in North Dakota received a shock when they examined the nice buck deer that Erickson had shot. The deer was actually a doe with a large 4-by-4 rack. “It’s got no male utilities,” said Erickson, from Minot. “It has teats … it was pretty unusual. I’m sure this story will be around for 10 years. At least in our group.” They notified the the Game and Fish Department and received a recorded message. The message said these types of deer often are just bucks who for some reason got castrated or whose testicles haven’t descended. Erickson said that does not apply to his his deer, however. “We couldn’t find any male genitals,” he said.
I’d forgotten I had this on my server….
