THE PETKNODE EPISODE
14th Sep 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better

UNCLE at the clinic after teeth extraction and wound cleaning recently.Our Uncle was not well recently after a mysterious maggot wound appeared in his mouth.

What is left of the scald burnHey, you let me out!What took you so long to let me out?Why am I back in?Please let me out?Napoleon has grown into a bully and is quite demanding. Its really entertaining to see him 'pressure' the the vets and their assistants to be let out of his cage.

The wound is shrunk and will soon disappear.Thanks to the excellent job done by the vets.Luckily, Napoleon...

Give Captive Chimpanzees A Voice
14th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
While many of us are actively doing rescue, fostering, spay-neuter and rehoming of stray dogs and cats, let us not forget that there many other forms of cruelty to animals as well. Recently, I have been highlighting the horrors of animal-testing. While we may feel we are powerless to fight this, actually we are not. The links to petitions that I send out DO make a difference. A recent example is Lipton Tea which stopped its animal testing due to public pressure and a united voice of animal ...

13th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare

And it's super duper yummilicious!!Eat, Bagheera, eat!! I had to put them in opposite directions...
