Gentle Song galloped into the wind. She raced along the fences of the pasture on summer days. Gentle Song carried kids on her back around the paddock. Last week, in California, two drunken illegal aliens killed Gentle Song for blood sport. Most countries in the Third World do not have laws against animal cruelty. Mexico is one of them. Some cultures do not share our fondness for pets. Muslims regard dogs as unclean and owners may have their pets confiscated while on a walk. In parts of Asia, cats and dogs are skinned alive and boiled-much like lobsters. One of the growing aspects of Third World Momentum invading the United States is the importation of cultures that perpetuate animal cruelty. Latin Americans invest in cock fighting like Americans cheer the NFL. In America today, roosters are thrown into a small pen. Men circle while placing bets on which cock will win. The roosters wear 'gaffs' or steel spikes taped to their legs. With no room to run, the cocks rage into a bloody melee to the death. Small children watch with their parents. Because kids are indoctrinated into this form of violence, they find animal cruelty to be a 'normal' aspect of life. The two men who killed Gentle Song gave no thought as they beat the horse to death. But immigrants bring other forms of Third World violence to animals. Dog fighting carries a felony punishment, but thrives in cities where immigrant enclaves hide it. They know it's against the law, but they refuse to shed their Old World ways. The 'melting pot' has become the 'savage arena' of the celebration of 'diversity'. Who suffers? Pet theft for dog fighting accelerates by the day as our immigrant populations expand. Trainers 'coach' dogs to fight by imposing a cruel protocol from the beginning of the dog's life. Dogs are starved to make them vicious, clubbed to make them tough, and are forced onto treadmills to the point of exhaustion. Sergeant Steve Brownstein of the Chicago Police Department said, "The dog fighting business is a bloody, gruesome spectacle in which one animal tears the other apart. When dogs lose fights, owners who are angry about losing money often throw them into vacant apartments to die slow, agonizing deaths from infection or starvation. I've seen dogs with the skin torn off their faces, stomachs ripped open and corpses of dogs burned alive for losing fights." In Arizona, up to half of missing pets are stolen. For what? Pima County Sheriff Mike Duffey said, "Dogs and cats are stolen to be used as bait in bloody training exercises for dog fighting." Another blood sport is called 'horse tripping'. It's practiced by Mexican charros. They defend it as a 'cultural' right in our country. This is a symptom of Third World Momentum invading America. Horses are driven around an arena. At full gallop, men pull ropes up to trip them. The horses plunge headfirst into the ground or somersault onto their heads. Many end up with broken necks, legs and other internal injuries. This is a part of the 'cultural diversity' being imported into America. A Mexican advocate of horse tripping, Gabriel Velasquez said, "It is a cultural thing, something that came down from our ancestors." Whether it is animal sacrifice in New York, horse tripping in immigrant enclaves in our Southwest, dog and cat fighting where newcomers band together--this cruelty crisis raises the question of "What is America becoming?" What about the human cruelty of 'female genital mutilation clitorectomies' to baby girls of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East? Why are we inviting this depraved behavior into our country? Where is this massive invasion of incompatible cultures from the Third World taking us? Who is responsible for facilitating this invasion of 1.5 million legal and the estimated 1 million illegal aliens rushing across our borders annually? When will Congress own up to this outrage? Do we want our children meshed with such cultural barbarism? Can we educate enough immigrants fast enough to stop the uncivilized behaviors they bring to our country? Will we be able to withstand their numbers as they 'demonstrate or vote' for their 'rights' to maintain their barbaric cultural practices? At 2.3 million arriving annually, the answer is, "NO!" We need a ten-year moratorium on all immigration into America so we can catch our national breath and regain a semblance of what this country means to humanity. It does not mean horse-tripping, cock fighting, dog fighting, animal sacrifices, clitorectomies to human babies or the killing of Gentle Song by drunken illegal aliens for the fun of it.

People say that a human life is more important than the life of an animal. I am not totally convinced of the argument.
That poor mare was worth more than Michael Jackson.
I can't even read that article right now, I am so upset as my dog got really sick last Wed, had bad seizures for hours that left her mostly paralyzed, she has a brain tumor and is going to be put to sleep tomorrow. I love her, she is like my baby, had her for 9 years. I had to get some diapers which she needs to wear now, and I'm trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. I've always maintained that you can tell how civilized a society is by the way they treat their animals. I used to think for years that all people are basically good, but it's finally sunk in that this is not the case.
My cat Kashmir is my only family, here in my house anyway. She's here when I go to sleep, she's here when I wake up, she's here when I go to work, here when I get home. I've grown accustomed to the little brat...
I get really attached to my pets too. I had a beloved cat who died shortly before 9-11. That date, Aug 18, 2001 was when all hell broke loose, at least for me. All sorts of horrible things happened after that, and now this. I feel totally destroyed right now, all over again. I'm not ready to say goodbye to my dog. At least it was a brain tumor so there was nothing I could have done about it. I tend to blame myself for anything that goes wrong, but I know in this case I can't.
Before I got Kashmir I told myself I was in for heartache somewhere down the line. She has brought me so much happiness, that makes it all alright.
What little family I have is scattered all over the globe, my pets are my family and I love them to pieces. My friend is going to take my dog to the vet tomorrow to have her put to sleep, as I won't be able to take it and I don't want people seeing me breaking down and crying like a baby. I've cried so much since this all happened last Wed, and I know only time will heal my grief over her loss. I love her so much. Oddly it makes me think some about Iraq, how they must hate Americans for torturing and killing family members and other loved ones. I'm so freaked over my dog, it all happened so suddenly, and she was in perfect health, or so I thought. If I were a drinker I would be staying drunk.
We have had to do the same with two cats. They were litter mates. The male lived to about 19 and his sister was about 13. It isn't easy, I know.
That cat lived a long time! I love cats too, I have a cat, she is sitting by my lap right now. I've lost cats before and it is horribly painful. The one I lost in Aug 2001 was such a goof, so funny and very affectionate. I took his death real hard. I could never live without having pets either. My father wouldn't allow pets growing up, so as soon as I got out of the house I got a cat, and have never been without pets since.
Hang in Diana. I lost my Golden three years ago from cancer. He was 10. Like yours, it was rather sudden and totally unexpected. During his last few weeks, I'd put him in my car every day for a Big Mac and Butterscotch Tasty cakes. Right to the end, he loved his junk food. What you’re going through sucks. Bad. No easy way to put it. Just keep in mind the life you gave your dog. He, and you, enjoyed every day. Call me crazy, but I think we'll meet them again on the other side. For me, that would be heaven.
We're both crazy as loons then, because I fully believe that.
if we don't, then i don't want to go.
See the connection between this story and Zimbabwe?
no, tell me.
You can tell a culture by the way it treats it's animals makes no difference if it's domestic or wild.... A tsunami of blood ... who cares? Massive slaughter is old hat for Africa. Living beings mowed down for no good reason with automatic weapons or slashed with machetes. Rivers of blood and bloated bodies. This time, it's not dead people. This time, it's animals, beginning with big game. Since the usual reaction of the rest of the world to African bloodbaths is to ignore it or to '"tsk tsk" that nothing was done soon enough, it's not surprising that the current slaughter in Zimbabwe is virtually ignored in the media and the West. For lovers of African wildlife – giraffes, lions, elephants, hippos, antelopes, cheetahs and more – it's a disaster of unparalleled proportions, being done on government orders. There is no safe place for wildlife left in Zimbabwe, the era of protection is over. Robert Mugabe, the just re-elected (in a highly disputed election) communist president of that country has ordered – yes, ordered – the country's national parks and rangers, rural district councils and, in some cases, military, to conduct a wholesale slaughter of all big game. Reports are that the first week, National Park rangers killed 10 elephants. According to the New Zealand Herald, four of the animals were shot in full view of tourists near Lake Kariba, the largest man-made lake in Africa and a major wildlife haven. The meat was used for an election celebration barbecue! A giraffe was killed, supposedly for food for hungry peasants, but the meat disappeared, believed appropriated for the police and their buddies. Robert Mugabe says he ordered the killing to feed his starving people. Yes, the people are starving, but it's because Mugabe's incompetent government, henchmen and corrupt cronies have driven the entire country beyond collapse. He caused the famine and now is decimating the wildlife supposedly to end it. The only thing he'll end is irreplaceable natural treasure. Consider that barely five years ago the country produced enough food to feed its own and export. Today, it begs food from the world. Consider that Mugabe prohibits international donors from distributing free food, doing it himself, but denying it to his political opposition – no vote, no food. Consider that in 2002, it was recorded that 89 percent of E.U. aid money was embezzled by the government. Consider that under government price-fixing policies, producers were ordered to sell food and goods for less than they cost to make. Consider that the Zimbabwe dollar was once worth more than the U.S. dollar – now, it takes more than 20,000 to buy one greenback. Consider that the government takes more than half of wages in taxes and out-of-control inflation makes the rest worthless. Bus fare costs more than the monthly wages of workers. Consider that life expectancy is 34 years for men, 33 for women. HIV is rampant, leaving some 700,000 AIDS orphans. Consider that North Korea trained Mugabe's military, Libya had training bases in the interior and there was money to send his army to the Congo to support that Marxist dictator. Consider that his political opponents were threatened, beaten, tortured or killed and the media controlled or shut down. Consider that tourism and a network of safari camps were the most vital economic assets of the country. Now, tourism is dead and soon all the animals will be as well. If you dreamed of visiting Zimbabwe – called Rhodesia, under the British – you know it was a gem. Blessed with temperate climate, spectacular scenery including Victoria Falls, well-stocked game reserves and ancient ruins. Add to that, the country had fertile soil, one of the most productive agricultural economies on the continent and huge reserves of gold, platinum and other natural resources. The country operated with an efficient road and rail network, to say nothing of business, manufacturing, banking and media operations. The school system was excellent and the population one of the best educated in Africa. Then came independence and Robert Mugabe. It's been disaster since. The country is in virtual economic collapse. Five years ago, under the euphemism of "land reform," Mugabe ordered the seizure of nearly 7,000 private, white-owned farms, operations which grew the food that fed the people and supported the export economy. His organized mobs looted the properties, beat and killed the white owners – and did the same to blacks who worked on the farms – killed livestock herds and wildlife, and burned homes and crops. The land was left fallow and millions are starving. Most of those stolen farms were given as perks to government officials and political cronies. The estate of Vice President Joshua Nkomo included 16 farms. During all of this, government-sanctioned poachers deliberately decimated animals on commercial game farms. Thousands of snares killed everything from sable antelope, wild dogs, cats and zebra to anything else that fell victim. Estimates are that in three years, 80 percent of all animals on the game farms were killed. Now big game is the target – they don't stand a chance. Particularly at risk is the trans-frontier park. That's where wildlife from Mozambique and South Africa (Kruger National Park) moves freely into Zimbabwe across borders. Conservationists there are desperate, knowing the wildlife heritage is being irredeemably destroyed. Where's our anger? Where's our outrage? Where are the animal rights, animal protection and nature-Earth protection organizations? Why don't we hear their furious screams at this murderous rape of nature, just as they do when a fairy shrimp or red-legged frog is perceived in danger? Is it really all politics? Consider that just last Wednesday, Zimbabwe was re-elected to the U.N. Human Rights Commission! Only three countries protested: Australia, Canada and the United States. Our statement said that the United States is "perplexed and dismayed by the decision." Perplexed and dismayed?! Why not infuriated? Outraged? Insulted? What about the animal slaughter? There hasn't been any U.S. statement about that, or one from any other country, for that matter. Those animals are a world heritage. It's obscene this should take place below media radar. Put on the pressure! Stop the money. Perhaps if all donations to every animal-environmental-zoo group stopped, they might get the message that we want to hear their international shrieks of outrage over this government ordered, senseless wildlife slaughter. It's wanton killing to cover up the failure of a communist dictatorship whose leader is still accepted on the international scene. That's a travesty too, but come to think of it, that's probably why it's being ignored. See? It is politics. And like most politics, it's bathed in the blood of innocents. It's disgusting.

I hope they eat each other when the game is gone.
Nah, they'll be brought here as sex toys for prominent republicans.
Sir, are you implying that prominent members of our glorious imperial government are bone-smoking-gannonites?
Implying? No, I'm making a declaration of fact.
I see So, are you telling me that if I drop my car keys in Washington D.C. that I should kick them west of the Mississippi (but east of California) before I bend over to pick them up?
That may be a bit drastic, but I would definitely avoid Baltimore.
