Chihuahua invasion

Chihuahua invasion! Little dogs make a big scene in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hundreds of tiny tacos, ballerinas and other costumed dogs fell short of a world record Saturday morning in Kansas City, but organizers said they were encouraged by the turnout for the inaugural Cinco de Mayo Chihuahua parade.

Mark Valentine, the president of the group that organized the parade, said 500 dogs showed up in costume — about 200 fewer than what was needed to break the Guinness Book world record. The event, organized by United Entertainment to benefit a local animal shelter, was open to any breed.

Valentine estimated that 80 percent of the costumed canines were Chihuahuas, more than the 50 percent he anticipated.

“We are going to keep doing this until we run out of dogs in Kansas City and have to start shipping them in,” Valentine said. “For a first try, we did OK.”

Valentine said he was told Chihuahuas were among the most common breeds in animal shelters. Saturday's event raised about $2,500 for The Pet Connection, a local no-kill shelter.

“Chihuahuas get killed in animal shelters almost as much as pitbulls,” he said.

Anne Fisher, a food stylist from Stilwell, Kan., about a half-hour south of Kansas City, said her male Chihuahua, Willie, seemed relieved when she slipped off his ballerina outfit after the parade.

“We figured he was going to be the smallest Chihuahua here, but he's not,” she said of the 3-pound dog. “We're having more fun than he is. It's hysterical.”

Just after 11 a.m., everyone in the crowd with a Chihuahua raised their pets over their heads. The result was a sea of tiny heads adorned with sombreros, cowboy hats, bows and even a Green Bay Packers football helmet.

Afterward, participants lined up and participated in a slow-moving procession along a sidewalk, as dozens of people in lawn chains watched the colorful animals strut past.

Valentine thought it was a little extreme that Guinness required a veterinarian to be on hand to make sure every dog registered for the event was alive. No dead dogs showed, he said, but someone did bring a potbellied pig.

“Apparently, they've had trouble with people sneaking pigs in,” Valentine said.

Poker Face

I can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking.

He hung a puppy, now he's facing charges

Here's a case that will remind you how you should treat animals and how you should be wary with what you post on Facebook.

Jerzon Senador, who was condemned after pinning his puppy to a clothesline and posting pictures of it online, is now facing charges for animal cruelty.

After almost a year, the Municipal Trial Court of Calamba, Laguna issued a warrant of arrest against Senador for violation of Republic Act 8485 or the Animal Welfare Act, according to a Facebook post of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) on Friday.

However, PAWS said when the police arrived at his home, the teenager was nowhere to be found.

“PAWS was in Calamba, Laguna yesterday for Jerzon Senador's long-delayed arrest, but when police arrived at his Looc address, the accused parents' said that Jerzon Senador has left home and that his present whereabouts are unknown to them,” the Facebook post read.

The animal rights organization is now seeking help to find information leading to his arrest.

Senador uploaded the photos of his helpless puppy in June last year, sparking outrage from netizens.

After being swamped with angry messages, he took the images down and issued a public apology posted on his page, saying, “To all animal lovers and to people all over the world please read this. I would like to ask for forgiveness for the wrong I've done against my dog. I hope you could forgive me and I promise it will never happen again.”

Apparently, his apology was not enough as he must now face the case filed against him by PAWS.

RA 8485 states that upon conviction, Senador will be punished by imprisonment of six months to two years or a fine of P1,000 to P5,000 or both.

In a similar incident, a student from the University of the Philippines, Joseph Carlo Candare, killed a cat inside the campus and bragged about it on his blog in 2009.

Two years after, Candare pleaded guilty and his case was the first successful conviction of someone accused of animal cruelty in the Philippines.

My point: People especially the young ones should now be aware that our actions have consequences. Especially hurting animals who cant defend themselves. Saying sorry will not change the fact that you have violated the law and should face the consequences of your actions.

Animal Crush Videos

I dont get it why there are people who get off by watching such videos. I think they are sick and should consult a doctor to find out whats going on in their minds. I will not post any crush videos here so if you happen to visit this blog just to find some animal crush videos then you will not find those kinds of videos here. It makes me sick when I accidentally stumbled on one animal crush video, I cant even finish watching it.

If you do not know what animal crush videos is then consider yourself lucky. It is videos of animal abuse which should be considered as a form of cruelty against animals. These animal abuse videos feature small live animals, like kittens, puppies, mice and bunnies that are being slowly tortured in the most horrific ways imaginable. Sometimes you will see women or children doing such animals abuse. In return for some money those people will do every thing that their client wants them to do. From burning those animals alive, cut with pruning sheers, nailed to the floor, skinned alive, beaten, stabbed and/or have their limbs broken.

According to the animal abuse news that I saw these past days, one common thing that these animal crushing video has a common thing that the animals are being crushed by a woman in high heels. People who pay for those crush animal videos are usually for their sexual gratification but that's not the only case, lately it is becoming popular just for their shock value also. Those people who are into animal crush videos usually gets sexual arousal toward the the horrific torture and distress of another life in this case those poor animals.

The animal crush industry is getting popular all over the world that's why our Government should something to stop those sadistic killers and the spread of those videos.

With that said I would like to ask people especially animal lovers to support www.stopcrush.org.
