S. Korean dogs stolen and on their way to a dinner table or coat collar near you

I am not fond of any culture - any - that takes an animal that serves mankind with love and loyalty only to serve it up on a restaurant dinner plate or to put its pelt on a coat collar. The Asian culture, to me, is vile and has no redemptive qualities. If you don't agree with me, that is your right, I respect that. I have the right to find ALL of the Asian countries barbaric and without morality of any kind.

[긴급] 이 개들의 주인 안계신가요?
정황상 제주도에서 개들을 훔쳐 나가는 트럭인것 같지만, 피해자가 없는 이상 조사가 쉽지 않다고 하네요.
[Urgent] S. Koreans: Do you know anyone of these dogs?
Given the circumstances, looks like a truck smuggling stolen pets out of Jeju Island but without a victim, investigation is unlikely.

This is a cruise ship traveling from Jeju Island to Mokpo last Saturday evening. A vacationer coming back from vacation in Jeju Island took these photos and provided to KARA. This is a horrific situation but please take a look and if you know someone who lost their pet dogs recently, please contact us immediately.

여객선에서 이런 개트럭을 아무런 제재없이 태웠다는 점 또한 간과할 수 없는 부분입니다.
일단 주인을 찾는 것이 급선무입니다.
The fact that a cruise ship loaded a dog truck without any sanction can not be overlooked. But the urgent matter is to find an owner.

보시고 견주되시는 분이나, 이런 상황을 아시는 분의 제보 꼭 부탁드립니다.

PLEASE, PLEASE whatever you do, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. PLEASE!

The WWII Veteran who made this video is very, very ill. He had always hoped that his effort on behalf of PETS FOR PATRIOTS would be seen by many, many more folks than are represented as of today's date. PLEASE watch this lovely, sensitive little movie. Not only will you fall in love with the old gentleman and his dog, you will make someone who served our country very happy. PLEASE SHARE on your blogs and pass the word around far and wide. Thank you so much in advance.

♥In honor of those who gave everything to give us everything♥

When we left Vietnam we left our war dogs behind to suffer at the hands of the Viet Kong. They were shot and starved and skinned alive and used for target practice and boiled and eaten. NEVER AGAIN! Legislation has been passed that designates our war dogs as military members and not military equipment. They will NEVER be left behind again to suffer fates worse than death, itself.

Wanna feel GREAT? Watch this and smile☺

They may not look all fancy. They may not be your idea of a 'dream dog'. BUT, shelter dogs (and cats) never, ever forget who rescued them and ALWAYS give back more than they have received. (Be sure to turn off the music on the sidebar.)

♥Unbelievable loss - two beloved pets die within two days, Kudzu and Pixie♥

If you have the time, please stop by their blog to offer your sympathy. Their ♥s must be broken in half.

Rest with the angels Kudzu and Pixie. Maybe our good Lord wanted both of you to see a familiar face at the Bridge.

Don't overlook the priceless treasure in your own home town

Scout holds my ♥ with his gentle paws

I think one of the best things I've ever done for myself was adopting Scout from my local shelter. No, he wasn't a puppy and I don't think he could have been considered a 'youth'. He was somewhere near three years old. But there was just something about him. Something in his eyes and something in my heart that told me to take him home. No, he wasn't pretty. He was nearly 20 pounds underweight and his hair was horribly thin but his eyes - his eyes had a kindness in them that told me everything was going to be OK.

Scout will be (I think) twelve this summer. He's slowing down a bit. His activity has decreased but his love - his love for me has increased a hundred fold. My love for him? I don't think there are enough numbers in all of the Universe to measure how I feel about him - he's priceless.

Please, the next time you think of adopting, take a look at the grown dogs and cats. There are some real treasures to be found that will continue to rise in value as each and every day goes by.
