I thought they bludgeoned all the dogs to death in China to control rabies? So I am confused about the woman in Beijing who just crashed ehr car while letting her dog drive.

Bob..
I saw that too and had to laugh. But I was also reminded of the mass dog beatings and killings because of the rabies. I remember reading when that story came out that there were 2 counties where the beatings took place. I'm not sure where and if Bejing (sp) is anywhere near that. China's a pretty big place so the only thing I can think of is that the counties where the beatings took place were unrealeted to the woman in Bejing.... Or...the other theory is that China wanted to get out some good 'pr' on dogs and its population so decided to let out about this woman and her dog yadda yadda yadda. Not sure though.

Bob, that was also just one run of killings. there are more planned to come. It also is certain areas where they are doing this. OMD what a way to control rabies. I guess they never thought of mandatory vacines against rabies like in the U.S. Their government is a cruel one at that because they actually took dogs from their owners and killed them in front of them. Some got the option to kill their pets instead of the police. what an option. I am a huge defender of animal rights so I better end this post now. I feel the BP raising. If you are interested in the whole story check out IDA.org or HSUS.org to read articles with links to the media of coverage.

Well, supposedly, there were people who previously had their dogs vaccinated and had the vaccination records, but the dogs were killed anyway. A ludicrous, inhumane, horrific way to handle things.

We were in China when I adopted my youngest girl, and my older daughter and I were hanging out in Beijing before we picked her up. We went to a big park and they were selling food at the entrance and they had a box of darlings kittens that we knew were going to be sold to be eaten. My daughter and I were cooing over the kittens, " Look how cute they are," and playing with them and the people around us were kind of looking at these Americans (us) like we were nuts. It was sad because we knew their fate.

YUCK! This is a terrible subject! and to think the Chinese own a good size chunk of our national debt! I don't want to get political but ,please, everybody vote this year! Sometimes I think that our elected leaders keep forgeting that corporations and special interest groups don't vote, citizens do!

Hi-Quincy's mom brought up an interesting subject this am-their new beagle doesn't go to the spot in the yard where Quincy passed on. It was his favorite spot.

Although my cat, Howi often sits under it, Annie never walks under or near the tree where Zoya is buried either.

Very interesting about animals somehow sensing where their animal friend's remains are and avoiding it. Bob is still in his cedar box in my bedroom. I was going to scatter him in the yard, then felt he really liked being with me, so I have a rather rudimentary shrine - his box, his dog collar and tags, plus a photo of him, and small cocker figurine.

Rascal,

If you read this, you sent an IM to me and mentioned that Barnum and Bailey used to house their animals next door to your farm in Kentucky (I think until a lion got out?). If you read this, post some info on that. It is a very interetsing topic.

Hey gang! Back when I was a teenager my family lived in a rural part of Kentucky. Lots of distance between neighbors and most were farmers or horse breeders. The piece of property next to ours was for the most part uninhabited, except for a few times a year. It was owned by Barnum & Bailey and they would on occassion house animals there. We had elephants and even a giraffe one time. There were big cats, minature ponies, just a wide variety of animals. They were good if infrequent neighbors and always indulged my curiosity. From here the story gets kinda muddled. The cow of an influential farmer was killed...by something with claws and sharp teeth. He insisted it was one of the big cats, B&B insisted none had gotten free. Remember it was a rural area and we had other predators, although it was rare for them to go after something as large as an adult cow. The story then took on mythical or urban legend proportions. Supposedly it was a black panther that got away and was never caught, the proof offered up was the sounds of a baby crying in the woods at night. Apparently a black panther can make a noise like that. I never saw a black panther there, nor did I ever know of one of the big cats to go missing, but the man had influence and with applied pressure from county officials B&B sold the land shortly after that. I did and do have mixed emotions about the entire thing. While it was incredible to see these magnificent creatures up close there was a sadness in their eyes that made me feel horrible. They were treated well by those who cared for them, but I knew they would be much happier in their natural environment.

The Ringling Bros Circus wintered in Sarasota County for years. Lots of retired circus folks here and I went to school with lots of circus kids. We could take Circus instead of PE-I have some interesting skills....Also, dated an interesting guy that like to play with Big Cats. It was fun growing up here-when kids threatened to run away with the circus-they meant it, lol.
