Website of the Week...

     While www.animalnewswire.net covers all types of animals, if you're looking for something that REALLY will give you the most details on everything related to cats, visit lifewithcats.tv.That site offers fascinating videos. For example, a most recent one shows a cat playing with a koi fish in a pond. Lifewithcats.tv also is filled with many touching stories, but the main subject of cats is always part of them. Lifewithcats.tv is the feline offspring to the extremely popular and respected source for dog news and entertainment, Life With Dogs. Also, livewithcats,tv promises "to provide the same informative, thought-provoking, and entertaining mix for cat lovers as our esteemed parent site does for the dog crowd, presented with our own feline perspective."

Lifewithcats.tv started in 2011. Since then, the site and its Facebook page "have quickly garnered a dedicated, friendly, passionate and diverse community of cat lovers, which continues to grow," the website stated.

Along with the videos, pages are devoted to submitted photos, health, behavior, and there also is a blog. Another unique feature is labeled "Profiles," and features some of the most inspirational cats you'll ever hear about and see. Profiles are written by Lifewithcats.tv Editor Karen Harrison Binette.  

Take a look at lifewithcats.tv for inspiration and joy that cats can give to their human companions.

ABOUT US ...  

      Animal Newswire.net is your independently owned pathway  to breaking animal news. We scour the web for the good, the bad, and the ugly in animal news, and deliver you to those sites so you can get the rest of the story. 

       As long-time animal lovers,  we're not afraid to sift through the news and get to the heart of a story - and our headlines reflect that.  If you like animals, history, and a darned good story, Animal Newswire.net is the place to visit.  We've also got a sense of humor and like looking for unusual stuff; that's why we've included our "Outer Limits" page.

      We're also dedicated to addressing the suffering of  animals worldwide - that's click onto our alerts page to link you directly to the many campaigns going on to stop cruelty. 

     We also believe that this country can end  the tragedy of millions of homeless dogs and cats dying in shelters each year because there aren't enough homes for  them. The U.S. can become a no-kill country, if we have the political will to do so.  Spay and neuter your pet for starters; adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue group. Kittens are cute, but don't forget about the millions of wonderful adult cats abandoned at shelters and just waiting for a home to call their own again. 

Also, it's not cruel to use a crate until your dog is old enough to have the run of the house while you're gone. And,  if you're a dog owner, please, please, please, take it through an obedience class. It's our belief that very few dogs would end up in shelters if  these three approaches - crate training, obedience and spay/neuter - were used.  Don't forget, too, that your pet is part of your family. Love them like they love you - unconditionally.  

     And we hope you take the time to get active and make changes for the positive. As community activists, we've seen the power of the people at work - phone calls and letters to your elected officials do make a difference. Get active locally - see how your community treats animals. What's the adoption rates at your local pound? If it's low,  you can make changes. Education, spay/neuter programs and adoptions do make a difference. Start attending your city, village and county board meetings. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THINGS. There's nothing like a room full of people to make a bunch of elected officials respond to you.

Pig in slaughterhouse comforted by animal activist

Should it be a crime to film at factory farms? The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is pushing such bills in six states.

Factory farm film Animal activists see such legislation as a way to hide mistreatment and abuse of animals. The proposals mandate that evidence of animal abuse be turned over to law enforcement within 48 hours, or face a financial penalty. This video shows abuse at a factory farm.

Do you believe that animal activists should face fines and jail for secretly videotaping at factory farms?

YES

Your Comments:

On mandatory microchipping: 

"There is no way to enforce this policy with back yard breeders and  Most Pit Bull breeders are backyard breeders."
