My friend is rather incensed at all the violence being shown on domestic pets in regular TV shows. She has decided it is her mission to write to networks, humane societies etc to bring this issue to everyone's attention. She mentioned last night Saving Grace had "dog" issue, previously on The closer the dog was tortured and few others she has noticed. Her deal is that all of a sudden it seems to be on TV a lot. Do any of you have other ideas on who she should write to about this issue? She likes the shows but wants the animal violence to stop. TIA.

That just plants ideas into sick heads. Tell your friend to 'go get 'em'.

I found this news story quite disturbing from Australia. Apparently there is a huge population of feral cats which people blame for killing off the wildlife. Now they are thinking of killing and cooking them to get rid of them. i cant tell if this is real or a bad joke.

I'm a cat lover since forever, but I can see that when the ferals get out of control that harsh measures need to be taken...for the good of the native wildlife just as much as for the good of the cats.

I started wtaching the first eposode of Damage, got a feeling something would happen to the dog- stopped watching and will not watch the show.
