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.

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'm really beginning to wonder what is causing the extremely high cancer rates in dogs.

Like you, I wonder too. I know so many people who have had dogs that have gotten cancer and died quickly--very young ones too. I, like you, suspect the vaccinations. I have two cats. One is a 16 yr old himalayan. He and his litter mate, who died at the age of 6 of chylothorax (tumor), were both highly allergic to vaccines and had life-threatening reactions to them the first couple of times they got them. Needless to say, we stopped vaccinating them. My other cat is a female maine coon who we rescued exactly one year to the day after losing our other little girl. We don't vaccinate her either. Our cats are indoor cats. They are both, thankfully, very healthy and I never have to take them to the vet.

I'd recommend that pet owners, if they're going to vaccinate them, do it bi- yearly, rather than annually.

I used to breed and show shih tzus.. the only problem I ever had healthwise with any of my dogs was one that had autoimmune.. we nearly lost him..He was the best show prospect I had ever bred..of course due to the illness it took him out of being a show dog.. and what was the cause? It wasn't inherited.. it was from a vaccination..

I purchased our Schnauzer from Skansen Kennels in Sebastapol, CA. They are nuts about what to feed your dogs. I did everything they said for several months then gave up. Raw meat, special supplements, the works. Maybe if I grew the sheep on organic grass it would work. I think the source is important. Our dog had stomach problems with the raw diet. I began cooking a mixture. The vet drew up a menu. Now we just use a high quality dry.

My sister told me about a 27 year old dog that's eaten nothing but a vegetarian diet. There is a high quality dry food that is vegetarian. In the wild, dogs did not live that long; that's one argument that nothing's changed. But, I agree with you, dogs are not as healthy as they once were. Irresponsible breeders are to blame too.

Where is the outrage? I would say that 99% of Americans have NO idea this is going on.. Just try even to get those like Democracy Now to do a story on this.. I bet they wont even reply.. now the question.. why? It may be politics..but for what purpose?

Lord, Robby, your account was painful to read. The thing that I cannot understand is why such heinousness, atrocity, and brutality is allowed to go on this world. Is there any goodness left? Certainly not enough to combat the evil that is in charge here. I know I'm going to get flack for this, but it does make me doubt the existence of a loving, caring, omnipresent god.

strange in what way? ours is a unique situation since she suffered both abuse and neglect as a kitten, so she's very skittish.

from my experience, most maine coons are easy-going, docile cats. i guess any one of them could have odd personalities or behavioral quirks.

Couple all of this idiocy with the fact that Mugabe was educated here in America, and you can see exactly what he's doing.

Let Mugabe, and the people of Africa rot. Let them die. Let them die by their own hands, and let nothing stop them. The sooner they die, the sooner they come around to a more modern way of thinking. When they are left to die on their own, and when they see that no help will be coming from the West, and Civlized countries, they will have to straighten up, and they will eventually kill Mugabe and change regimes.

Mugabe should have been nailed a long time ago, when he destroyed their economy, and agricultural capability. Of course, though, when you're dealing with people who are inherently too fucking stupid to see the truth, when you have people who still believe that Aids can be cured by raping an infant, you have a population fit to be duped, and die at the hands of their leaders.

Africa needs to fix its own problems, and let them die by their own hands. Let them die in the millions, without so much as a finger lifted, and you will see change in Africa. You will see good leaders, and righteous men take control of it, all to stop the madness, that is happening now.

At the rate they are slaughtering the great apes there won't be any left in 20 years.
Third World peoples, the people of color, have different concepts about animals than the First World, European derived peoples.
I had a neighbor who raised and sold ponies. His little girl assisted him in the process and one day a Tongan gentleman came and made inquiries and bought one of the ponies, one the little girl had done almost all the work with from birth.
Well as it happened the father had some business in town and took his daughter with him and they decided to go over to the Tongan's place and see how the little mare pony was doing.
I don't think the little girl will ever be quite the same, you see as they drew up they noticed quite a crowd of Tongans and the little pony was on a spit.

I tend to agree. The cat we had with cancer was vaccinated yearly. The cancer came up right in the shoulder above where he received his vaccines. The two cats I have now are indoor and I never have them vaccinated and they have done wonderful.

I keep the vaccines down on the indoor dogs too. Every three years, that's it and it's the bare minimum then. Freddy and Petey are outside, but they are fenced in and not around other dogs, so they also are on tri yearly and again, only the minimum (rabies). Most people do not realize a rabies vaccine in most states is good for three years, despite the fact that it is pushed to have it done yearly.

I think the problem is so huge there they don't know what to do. You certainly can't send money because God knows it won't go where it is suppose to. You see the same mentality with the AIDS epidemic over there. Most folks don't give a rip because 1. It's those *uncivilized heathens* way over *there* and 2.

I know some of the breeders have switched to giving their dogs healthy people food (chicken, rice, some vegatables)or raw meat and greens instead of dog food, as they think the dog food is full of contaminants, which makes me wonder if that is responsible for the high cancer rates as well. I'm going to look into giving my two remaining dogs real food instead of dried dog food.

I heard too about how vaccines have been over-done in recent years, in fact the vets who come out here say it is harmful to give them every year, that every few years is better. I know when I was still in Houston some of the vets wanted to vaccinate every 6 months!

There is no safe place for wildlife left in Zimbabwe, the era of protection is over.

Rhodesia/Zimbabwe was a first world country under Ian Smith, and the bread basket of that part of Africa, till Mugabee took over so as to get rid of the "racist whites" who ruled the country. It took no time at all for it to go downhill, and there was no mention in our press of the wholesale murder of the white farmers and their families, a part of Mugabee's land distribution program. When they would go to a farm to kill the whites there, invariably they killed the house pets as well. This had been a horrific situation for years now, I'm not surprised to hear these latest updates.

Apparently what is happening in Zimbabwe and in South Africa is going as planned..

That's what I think too. When all the white people were being slaughtered in Zimbabwe, there was not a peep from any government, no outrage, no offers to take these people in as political refugees. Only England let a few in, as there were special conditions to be met. Oddly too, Israel has been selling weapons to Mugabee. I find that very interesting.

Don't get me wrong,it's a good cat but it just does some strange things I've never see a cat do before. One thing it does is sits up like a squirrel for 15 minutes at a time. It will remain on it's back motionless with the legs sticking straight up in the air. The first time we seen that,we though it had been dead for awhile and rigor-mortis had set in. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

We adopted ours too and from what I understand,it was taken away from it's mother at a very early age and never learned social skills. It has a problem with biting and it's sort of hard to trust because we don't know if it will really clamp down with its teeth. I'm very cautious with it but it has gotten much better since we first got it. It used to hide all day and we couldn't get near it,but now it follows us around like a dog.

some of the vets wanted to vaccinate every 6 months!

Just greed and a money racket.

laughing..i bet that's a riot. i love it when dogs and cats lie on their backs with all four legs pointing north or spread eagle. it means they're relaxed and content.

afa the biting, that's usually because, as kittens, they weren't socialized by people properly. lots of times people play with them with their hands when they should be using toys instead. the cat can't differentiate. hands should be used only for care and petting in a loving, gentle manner. another thing is people tend to handle a cat and play with it like a dog. most cats don't appreciate that.

I've been to parties where humans were just like that, passed out, on the floor.

That is one of the funniest posts I've ever read, I needed a good laugh!
