Peta commits a Blubber.."EMMMM" I mean Blunder


PETA’s new billboard campaign have been raising eyebrows and ire in Jacksonville, Florida especially among women groups.

A drawing on billboards in Jacksonville depicts an obese woman with the phrase, "Save The Whales, Lose The Blubber: Go Vegetarian."



They have officially released a statement that says:

A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight — and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball — that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini. [....]

Anyone wishing to achieve a hot "beach bod" is reminded that studies show that vegetarians are, on average, about 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters. [...]

"Trying to hide your thunder thighs and balloon belly is no day at the beach," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "PETA has a free ‘Vegetarian Starter Kit’ for people who want to lose pounds while eating as much as they like.

Hmmmm…while I admit that PETA’s ad campaigns have always been controversial, they never have targeted a specific group of people like this.

And being a fat woman myself, seeing a close replica of what I look like in a red polka-dot bikini beside the word “WHALES” is offensive – too much hidden marketing psy-chol-o-gy sh*t right there people.

But then, I’m not one who easily gets hurt or offended so there. If it encourages “whales” to convert and lose weight, I’m all for it. But there will still be a few polka-dots who will think otherwise. Source: Peta ad campaign

Plea after Blind Dog founded Dumped


An animal charity has condemned a dog-owner who abandoned an elderly golden retriever at a roadside in New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire.

The Scottish SPCA appealed for information after the animal was found on the Brownhill road near Fraserburgh, suffering from serious health problems.

The dog, who was blind and suffering from testicular cancer, had to be put down after he was found on Sunday.

The SSPCA said anyone causing suffering to an animal would be punished.

If found guilty they could expect to be banned from owning animals and face penalties up to a maximum of 12 months in prison, a £20,000 fine or both.

A passerby contacted the charity after finding the male golden retriever on the country road at about 1030 BST on Sunday.

His owner should have sought veterinary treatment for him long before it got to this stage

His condition was so bad that the vet who examined him had no option but to put him to sleep.

Scottish SPCA inspector, Fiona McKenzie said: "This poor dog was found in a horrendous state.

"He was almost completely bald on his body, which a vet has advised us may have been linked to his testicular tumours and he was blind as a result of glaucoma and cataracts.

"His teeth were also in advanced stages of decay.

"These illnesses would have been causing him significant pain and discomfort."

She said he was found pacing in circles by the roadside.

"He was clearly disorientated and given his condition we can't imagine that he was simply straying or had wandered off from home," she said.

"We believe someone abandoned him.

"His owner should have sought veterinary treatment for him long before it got to this stage."

How to Train your puppy to Pee outside


A puppy isn't born knowing that your carpet is not an acceptable place to relieve himself. You are going to have to show it the ropes and train the puppy to hold it until it's time for a walk outside or playtime in the backyard. Here's a relatively easy way to train him that doesn't require punishment.

Step 1. Watch your puppy's behavior while relieving himself outdoors so you can detect the warning signs and intercept him when indoors.

Step 2. Stay outside as often as possible during nice weather so your puppy can develop a preference for eliminating outdoors. Help him develop a liking for surfaces like dirt and gravel by taking him outdoors to eliminate after eating, playing and sleeping, or, ideally, every 15 minutes.

Step 3. When it's time, go straight to a predesignated area and don't leave until the puppy urinates.

Step 4. Tuck your puppy into a cozy crate in your bedroom at night. Dogs are den animals and don't like to soil the area where they sleep.

Step 5. Carry the puppy outdoors when he becomes restless in the middle of the night, and wait until he's finished relieving himself.

Step 6. Supply a litter box (filled with sand or kitty litter) during the night, unless you plan on getting up every couple of hours to take him outside. If you do want to take him outside, set your alarm if you sleep too deeply to notice that your puppy has started fidgeting, and carry him outside at those times.

Step 7. Carry the puppy outside first thing in the morning so he won't soil the floors as he walks outside.

Step 8. Be consistent with training. Consult a pet behaviorist if you have problems.

Step 9. Reward your dog with puppy treats and praise every time he successfully eliminates outdoors.
