What does animal welfare really mean?

Well, maybe good animal welfare means a lot the same as we mean when talking about well being for humans. Here's what one writer thinks...

"Animal welfare refers to how an animal is coping, both physically and mentally, with the conditions in which it lives. When good animal welfare occurs, the animal is healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express its inherent behavior, and is not suffering from pain, fear, or distress."

We need to understand this concept in order to decide on appropriate legislation to promote and protect animal welfare.  READ MORE==>

Dogs and fireworks not a good mix

Summer is a great time for fireworks. But did you know that your dog, like most dogs, is probably really afraid of those explosions and dazzling displays of light in the sky?

Loud bangs make them crazy and even want to run away. A friend of mine had this experience. He was letting off fireworks to entertain his family and the family dog became so agitated it broke free from the leash and headed off into the night. Unlike Lassie, that dog stayed lost. She never came home again.

So please, lock your dog inside and protect him or her from loud fireworks. Good advice to avoid a heartbreaking loss.
