NOT Cute

The Internet is fill of cute images of pets, and of pets and children together. But many of these images are NOT cute -- they're potentially dangerous situations for the child, or demonstrate behavior that's unkind to animals. No, I'm not trying to be a party-pooper. I'm trying to keep all our kids and pets safe, and build positive animal-child relationships for the future.

The Four-Legged Scandal No One Is Talking About - The Dogington Post

I feel very strongly about this issue. It's an insult to people with disabilities and their trained service dogs when businesses or individuals participate in frauds this way. And it makes access and independence harder for individuals who rely on their trained service dogs. Shame!

GoFundMe - Discover Animal fundraisers

A friend told me about a situation in Aruba, where there is a garbage bin that her friend, Kim, has discovered where the locals dispose of puppies that are then euthanized by the government. It's horrible. She's already managed to get some of them sent to Canada and adopted, but she can't do more without support. Can you spread the word and help raise money to save these little lives?

From tear gas to rowdy fans: How riots affect police horses

Unbelievable- football fans throwing bottles and hunks of ice at police horses, and increasing their actions when they could see it bothered the horses. What's WRONG with people????

This was shared with me for two reasons, to show how nice most pit bulls are (true), and as something cute. This is NOT CUTE, it's dangerous -- and it has NOTHING to do with the breed of the dog! Dogs should never be ridden. Ever. Nanny Dog, Cute Dog Pictures, Pit Bull Love, Silly Dogs, Bully Breeds, Dogs And Kids, Dog Wallpaper, Happy Dogs, Mans Best Friend

This Pug Is Really Overprotective Of His Cookie

This video is being shared around as if it was "cute." It's not at all cute. It's dangerous.

Here a child is pestering a dog that understandably is fearful in the situation, especially with paws being touched. The dog shows warning signals, but then has to go in for a very inhibited bite. And then look at the "joke" title of "Dog attack," and the "they are just playing" in the video description. This is not just about this dog and this child, but all the other people who view this video thinking it's funny or "cute." It's neither.
