Kitten Nearly Drowns

One Saturday I received a phone call from one of my neighbors. He knows I work at a local animal hospital. He had found a kitten, probably about 6 weeks old, drowning in his backyard swimming pool. He fished it out and set it on the ground by his garage, but wasn't sure what else to do for it. I went over and wrapped the kitten in a towel and brought it to the animal hospital I work at. Everyone had left for the day so I dried the kitten as best I could, warmed up some towels in the dryer, and kept it as warm as possible. For a while it just laid there with it's eyes closed, breathing hard, but not very deeply. I just talked to it like I would another person and pet it every once in a while. But mostly I just waited, changing the towels with warmer once every 15-20 min. or so. Finally, the little guy (I checked) was a little more alert and kept his eyes open more. He started looking at his surroundings, but mainly at me as I was still talking to him. He was still pretty skittish and stayed in the towels, but I got him to eat some canned kitten food (and boy was he hungry!). I had to leave him overnight, but figured he'd do all right. The next day, since he was still really infested with fleas, I gave him a flea bath. He didn't really like it since he was, understandably, deathly afraid of water. Anyway, to make a long story short, one of the other staff took the kitten home to his girlfriend. :-)

Ask Airline to Halt Transport of Monkeys to Laboratory!

PETA has just learned that China Southern Airlines plans to transport 80 nonhuman primates from China to the United States for use in cruel and deadly experiments. These intelligent, social, sensitive macaque monkeys will be crammed into 32 wooden crates and stuffed into the cargo hold of a passenger flight that is destined for Los Angeles. Once the monkeys reach the U.S., they will be trucked across the country to a laboratory where they will ultimately be tormented and killed.

The flight carrying these 80 monkeys is currently scheduled to arrive in the U.S. on August 15. With time running out, your voice is needed now.

TAKE ACTION!
A growing number of airlines—including American Airlines, China Airlines, Delta, and Qantas—refuse to take any part in the cruel and violent primate experimentation industry. These airlines have adopted a formal policy against shipping primates to laboratories. Please take a moment to contact China Southern Airlines and politely urge the airline to join this list of companies and halt this and all future shipments of live primates for use in experiments.

Thank you for taking action for animals in labs!

Choking on a Ball

I have a condition that causes seizures,my dog Randy tells me when one is coming. He alerts me quickly enough I can often prevent them with medications. What makes this so incredible is Randy wasn't trained for this. He was a rescue. Yesterday Randy accidentally lodged a fairly large ball in his throat, cutting off his air supply. I managed to carry this nearly 100 lb Shepherd mix to my car and get him to a nearby vet who saved his life. I can never repay him for all he does.
