Open Question: Ok does anybody remember these tv shows?

When I was much younger I remember a lot of stuff that I watched but can't remember what it was at all. One was a kids show that took place in a bedroom and all the stuffed animals talked to eachother. Think greg the bunny.... but there was like a forbidden closet of doom or something and there was a monster living in it. The other was a claymation. it had two cavemen and i remember an episode where one ate wild berries and its stomach exploded. ITS NOT KABLAM DONT SAY IT. and then the last was a movie where a kid on a farm goes outside and then a freak flood or tornado or something destroys his house and kills his parents and there's a talking rooster. Please help me remember what any of these were. more

Open Question: Is it cool/fun to own a farm?

I bet its a lot of work to tend to the animals and growing food but I bet its rewarding. How many people get to own a horse, or a cow, or a goat, etc. And get free eggs and milk. I bet that's cool since with the economy and all you save money. more

Open Question: Prey model diet question for Raw Feeders?

Just a quick question, i honestly want an opinion of people who feed Raw. How can you say that dogs do not eat vegetables in the wild? I myself grew up on a rural farm, with coyotes, a few wolves, foxes ect..And these animals do actually eat leaves/berries ect..and i have seen evidence of it in their droppings. My father actually trapped these animals in live traps (for fur) and in their feces is the very veggies you claim that canines don't eat in the wild.How can you say that it's not natural for wild canines to eat veggies when there's lots of evidence to support that dogs are somewhat omnivore, even in the wild? National Geographic has done shows and had issues about this as well. I just wondered how do Raw feeders explain that when in your info on Prey Model states that Canines wild and domestic do eat veggies even in the wild. Yes they prefer meat and will eat meat but they also choose vegetables as well. I don't want a loud bashing argument just an honest discussion.So no snide comments, or bashing because you think your opinion is the ultimate and 100% right. Everyones entitled to their thoughts on the subject and i want an honest discussion.Good points everyone...Ok so one more question? Whats the general consensus on fiber requirements on a Prey Model diet? Do you guys that feed Prey Model think dogs need fiber from fruits and veggies or no? Do you feel that fiber is even necessary to a canine and why or why not? more

Open Question: Help find Flaws/Suggrestions for these introductions? HELP!?

A) What tiny crystal fortified the coffers of many ancient empires and laid waste to others? What mineral has the power to create and the power to destroy? What is "good as gold" when scarce and "cheap as dirt" when abundant? The answer to all of these questions is salt, the spice of life. Today I would like to look at the importance of salt in history, at how we spice up our lives with salt today, and at the role salt will probably play in the future. b. We have so much unused human potential. By improving the use of your time, you can have much more time for social activities. You can use your mental processes more fully, thereby improving your grades. You can also increase your physical stamina and improve your health. We must learn to know our bodies. c. A six-year-old collie lay battered and helpless by the side of the road. The car that hit her had broken her pelvis, dislocated her hip, and smashed her jaw. It had also blinded her, and she whimpered in pain and fear. Unfortunately, this true story happens much too frequently because of the growing problem of pet overpopulation. Having grown up on a farm with animals of all kinds, I care deeply about their welfare, and I have become aware through my veterinary courses of how serious the problem of pet overpopulation is. d. Every problem has at least two sides. When one side is right, and the other side is wrong, the problem is easy to solve. But what if both sides have merit in their arguments? How do you solve these problems? Balancing the rights of everyone in an adoption is one of these problems. The parents who give up the child have a right that all the information they disclose be kept confidential, while the adopted child has a right to know about the identity of his or her natural parents.

Open Question: What is wrong with this horse?

I don't own this horse or I would have already had the vet check her over. It blows my mind how some people can own animals without being able to afford proper care, I believe we owe it to them. My friend isn't barbaric but I'm gathering that she doesn't know a lot, and if I could pinpoint what was wrong with this horse she may heed my advice and go in debt for the poor animal. She keeps 5 horses in an outdoor pasture attached to several large run in sheds with bedding. The horses live outside 24/7 without blankets, but they have access to round bales in two different feeders. 4 of the horses she owns are bright, responsive, and seemingly in good health, although I've only seen them in pasture. Her 4 year old mare looks sickly, thin and depressed from any angle. I've been told that the horse was born on my friend's property and hadn't any health problems. Just last year, apparently at the beginning of the summer, she was sent to another person's farm so they could begin training her. Apparently my friend trusted the method these people used to train, but when she got back late fall, she was "quiet". She started losing a lot of weight and the first time I saw her in early december, she was at her worst. I saw her last week and she hasn't improved whatsoever. I was shown pictures of her before she left the farm, and she had a really nice full shape. Now she's ribby, her back is sunken in slightly, as with her neck. She looks depressed, and I've never seen a horse depressed. One of my first guesses was automatically strangles, which is a terrifying thought for her other horses. Is it possible that the disease has been laying dormant in her for awhile? How long does it take for the lymph nodes to swell and puss? The lymph nodes aren't swollen and none of the other horses are showing any symptoms. I believe one of her horses is quite old (looks so), but all of her horses seem healthy and perky except for the one. My second guess is a problem with her molars, but at 4? She could have been injured, but wouldn't her face be swollen if it was anything like that? There is no nasal discharge or drooling from what we can see. I do recall seeing her nibbling at the round bale, but not very enthusiastically. Anything else is beyond me. My best interest is for this poor creature who obviously deserves the attention of a professional. Any sound advice would be greatly appreciated, and likely followed. Although it isn't any of my business outright telling her what to do, my goal will be to persuade her to have the vet come take a look, and perhaps do some blood work.I did forget to mention that they are all dewormed at the least, and have their feet trimmed regularly. Teeth floating is another question, we didn't talk about teeth floating! Personally if it were me, I would've had the vet out right away, as I said. I'm looking for opinions on what it could possibly be. I'm leaning towards the teeth... more

Resolved Question: Does this sound like a fair & good plan/idea?

I am 18. I have 1 big horse, 3 minis & she 2 other big horses with my 2 sisters. We have a small farm, I have a goat, 3 dogs, 3 cats & 4 rabbits. My dad is always going off about my animals & I can't take it anymore. I have always said I would move out before I lost my horse, & now it might actually come to it. Lately he keeps saying to get rid of Midnight(my 1st horse who is only 10 & is my world). No idea why as all our big horses are boarded. Now he wants to out my Chihuahua in a kennel! Because she is not 100% house trained. I have struggled with this for years on her. I know in a way it's my fault but I will not let her suffer because of it. He also want to get ride of all my rabbits, & 3 of the horses. Also saying he is "not having it" as far as me having 3 dogs of different breeds. No idea why, he LET me buy them. My sisters will take my cats & I will sell 2 rabbits, keep 1 & give the other to my sisters. I am taking riding lessons at this 24 stall horse farm. it has an apartment in the barn I can live in for free if I clean stalls 1 x a day and feel(not sure 1 or 2x a day for that). I will also get to have 2 horses boarded there. There is an indoor arena, good, big stalls & a big pond for swimming. I am 95% sure she will let me have 2 dogs & a rabbit with me. I will have to sell one of my dogs, it will break my heart into a million pieces but I have to do it. Does it sound like a fair trade? I have never been at the end of my rope like this & can't lose my dog! SO sorry this is kinda a rant but I am SO upset!As far as education, I know I posted about the training schools but I am a certified Equine & Canine massage therapist.As far as education, I know I posted about the training schools but I am a certified Equine & Canine massage therapist. more

Open Question: I want to raise my own animals on a farm where do I start?

I want to raise my own animals on a farm where do I start? I want to be more self reliant. Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to raise my own farm animals and have a garden of my own. I need to know where I can start degree wise. I obviously need to know what to do and how to do it. I have no experience on a farm. I don't want to sell meat or anything, I just want it for the sole purpose of feeding my family more fresh healthy meals. Plus, like I said I have always had an interest in it. My husband is about to go to flight school so I would say we have around 4-6 years before we settle down. I would imagine that would give me plenty of time to go to school and learn about the care of animals before I start out. I just want to have some cattle and chickens maybe some swine and a garden. Nothing BIG! When I research schools what type of degree do I look for? How long does it take? I know I can accomplish this, and I am very serious and determined, so only serious answers please. more

Aka communism ?

Open Question: Can anyone translate these into filipino? (10 points!)?

What do the human body and the planet earth have in common? Water. If the human body has about two-thirds water, our planet has about 70% of it, which establishes the fact that water constitutes a major portion in both body masses. And that is what's alarming. If 70% of the earth's surface is made up of water, then humankind should have been very wary of anything that would pollute this major portion of the planet. Alas, the human race has done otherwise. Water pollution is now a global problem. Today, water pollution is rampant and the chief source of water pollution is the human race. We are the very ones that need water most and, yet, we have polluted it, even to the brink of extinction. There are many types of water pollutants but these can be segregated into four classifications: natural, agricultural, municipal and industrial pollutants. Natural water pollutants could include all the natural phenomena that happen from time to time such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes that cause major upheavals in the ocean floor and storms that cause flashfloods. Even global warming could be qualified as a cause of water pollution. Agricultural pollution consists mainly of poultry and other agricultural animal wastes that are carelessly thrown off to bodies of water near farms. It could also be the fertilizers or pesticides that are used to make better crops, which erode into lakes, rivers or streams. Municipal wastes are those that come from residential areas. This is the liquid waste that households throw into bodies of water. Industrial pollution consists of all the wastes that major industrial firms chuck into the waters. This last classification is the most severe and most rampant among the three - and it is also the one that has caused the most damage. Industrial waste could include contaminants that are hard to take off from the waters once they spread - petroleum from oil spills or nuclear wastes. The bodies of water in the world are in catastrophic danger, what with all the industries in the world today, plus our individual wastes all put together! No wonder mankind now drinks from bottles instead of just scooping water from running streams. The effects of water pollution to humanity is staggering. But we should also consider all the other life forms that suffer - the fishes and other animals such as birds, and plants. And what happens when humans eat the very fishes that live in polluted waters? Do you still want that answered? But where there is life, there is hope. There is something that we can do - you can do - to save the only planet that we have. ------ No need to make it exact. Can anyone please help me translate these? THANK YOU! SO MUCH! more

Resolved Question: Specifically for blacks and whites who lived through the racism of the 60s?

I am a white female who studied history and I find the 60s (which were one of the most shameful eras in American History that I actually lived through) as well as the days before that, in particular pre-civil war America... these very shameful days when it was declared that all men were created equal ... so long as his skin was the right color ... or as George Orwell said in his book Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others." I lived through a time when whites who defended the black man's rights were considered "white trash" and when an elderly black woman (who could barely stand) who did not surrender her seat on a bus so that a young white man or woman could sit down would be dragged from the bus and beaten and arrested in many Southern states. It was not a time of racial discord, as far as I could see, but a time of racial inequality; a time when all men were created equal except in the eyes of elitist idiots who functioned with less than one brain cell. In my opinion, it is also a time we must never forget, for we must never go back there. So when I see a stereotypical statement, especially on an open forum like YA, it infuriates me. I remember my friend, a young black girl who was the first to attend the "white" school. I remember how she would throw up every single day as those who listened to their idiot parents told how this girl was less than they were and could not possibly learn. And I smiled as she graduated ...top in the class...proving all of them wrong. I hang out in the dog section and I just read a response that made my blood boil. So, how do you guys feel about this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmzyiYrlhBy1TWcrWSHRfgHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100309021117AA0aG7V&show=7#profile-info-bykvDH6Faa and the answer given by the very classy "Can I sniff your butt?"

Open Question: Why isn't reform of farm subsidies a bigger political issue, especially among animal rights groups?

V&V, does it bug you that our taxes go to growing livestock and livestock feed even though we don't use these items? Did you also know that the US Farm Bill brought in by the Bush Administration in 2002 increased agricultural subsidies by 80% and cost the US taxpayer $190 billion? Farm support also distorts food prices, leading to higher global food prices. Yet I rarely hear anything from the bloggers or the tv political commentators or political talk radio. Is it just because "farm subsidies" sounds like a boring issue?Also, I think organizations like PETA could make much more of an impact if they took their resources to lobbying in Washington DC instead of throwing paint on fur coats.Just to clarify in case you weren't aware; fruits and vegetables get little to no subsidies because these crops are not part of the USDA (they are regulated under the FDA). Most of the subsidies go to livestock and grain (a lot of which is feed grain). more

Resolved Question: DS: "The dogs called pit bulls are just dogs." Hector the Pit Bull, Vic’s former dog a STAR?

Citizens for a No Kill Philadelphia (CNKP) holds lecture series at Drexel School of Law and Hector the Pit Bull (Vic’s former dog) was STAR A panel discussion was held last night at Drexel University's Earle Mack School of Law titled The Importance of Creating a Safe and Humane Society for all People and Animals. It was hosted by Citizens for a No Kill Philadelphia (CNKP) and Drexel's Student Animal Legal Defense Fund. The main point demonstrated by speaker Donald Cleary of the National Canine Research Council was "The dogs called pit bulls are just dogs." The star of the evening was by no doubt, Hector the Pit Bull, a rehabilitated former Michael Vick fighting dog rescued from Bad Newz Kennels by BAD RAP a San Francisco based rescue group and adopted by Clara and Andrew "Roo" Yori. Hector delighted attendees with his gentle nature, loving attitude, and grace under pressure (of public appearances) in spite of his numerous eternal scars from his former life. Certified by Therapy Dogs International, Hector has passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen exam (twice) and the temperament test of the American Temperament Test Society. He carries his own business cards in his vest wherever he goes and is free with giving affection and pets with any human nearby. His job is being a therapy dog and an ambassador for the pit bull breed. Hector has passed 10 tests to become a certified therapy dog. And no, Vick did not stop by to see how Hector is doing. Cleary went on to point out that the words pit bull and dog are not used interchangeably; arguing they should be he clarified Dr. Randall Lockwood's position that dogs cannot be characterized without humans. He also defined the difference between family dogs and resident dogs. The former being a companion animal who is treated as part of a family, living indoors, cared for and loved with the latter being dogs used for guarding or protection, often chained and kept outside with little, if any human interaction. Cleary also noted negative impressions about pit bulls have been perpetuated by the media and used the examples of two dog bite incidents. One, a fatal dog bite of a six year old child by a non pit bull dog received only two published articles nationwide while a story about a minor pit bull bite incident received thousands of articles written about it. All speakers were in agreement it is important to bring to the public's attention the positive stories about pit bulls, like Hector's. Leigh Siegfried, certified pet dog trainer and owner of Opportunity Barks, a Jenkintown based company, spoke about canine aggression and the fact it is situational. An example mentioned was highlighted in a picture shown of a pit bull chained to her whelping crate with an oversized sized chain and her nursing pups. Another was allowing a child (or adult) to try to engage an emaciated dog in interaction; this can be a recipe for disaster because a starving dog is much more likely to bite than want to play. She stressed it is people that need to control dogs citing the importance of training and the ongoing impact of a loving owner upon a dog. Opportunity Barks also holds classes in Philadelphia. Next was Elise Van Kavage, Esq., Senior Legislative Attorney with Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah. VanKavage explained breed specific legislation (BSL) is in fact discrimination and called for legislation outlawing the practice. Pennsylvania is one of only two states that does outlaw BSL practice, thereby preventing townships and other local governments from enacting BSL. She dispelled the myth of a dog bite epidemic and quoted statistics showing a fourfold decrease in reported dog bites from the 1970's to present time. Moderator Stacy Coleman of the Animal Farm Foundation in New York stressed the importance of communities coming together to be the voice of the voiceless and reminded everyone to be respectful of each other's opinions and points of view when dealing with BSL. CNKP's Garrett Elwood introduced some local animal advocates including Dierdre Franklin of Pinups for Pitbulls, Allison Lamond from PAWS, Christina Voigt from ACCT, Claire Tillman, Humane Education Coordinator at CNKP and Alanna Burke from Saving Temple's Cats. Many attendees were able to pose for photos with Hector and Roo Yori. Questions from attendees were answered and participation was interactive. It was clear that those in attendance were dedicated animal advocates who want to make a difference in Philadelphia. CBS' Todd Quinones did the story "Vick's Victim" and Jim Melwert of KYW wrote “Hector Aims to Show the Softer Side of Pit Bulls.” The following link shows a video of Hector visiting a room full of 3rd Grade children. http://wcco.com/pets/hector.vick.dog.2.1386512.html Thank you in advance. Star for your contacts. What does this open debates for: That Vic was not such a bad guy? BSL? The dogs called Pit Bull are just dogs? The media’s motto,The public's need for education, by just banning the bully breeds, the government has given the public a false sense of security. Leaving the communities open to a higher number of dog attacks. more

Open Question: Is the UK/EU better when it comes to animal rights and welfare, than we are?

It sure seems so. They banned veal crates and fur farming (at least Whales and England) long ago. Also I'm sure there are other things I don't remember, but it just seems all around more ethical than it does here. Call me anti-nationalist, but I am just asking a question and stating my own opinion. Is the UK and EU more ethical with their treatment of animals than we are in the United States? I know in USA it may vary by state as well. more

Open Question: Being a free range meat eater is better then being vegan?

It seems to me being a free range meat eater, does far more then being a vegan for life? People who enjoy meat but choose to be vegan out of ethics are a bit daft? Being a vegan means there is a lesser demand for cows so less are being born(so vegans make less animals born,and I think thats a bad thing,if you belive in the sancitity of life), but the cows that are born still live a horrible life. Being a vegan means you can exclude yourself from the situation and have a free concious but have neither aided or supported in the fight against typical cow farming. Being free range means the same amount of cows are born as the demand is the same, but the demand for free range is larger so the cows that are born are permitted to live a healthy natural life, and are given a painless death. You have not only discouraged typical cow farming (unlike vegans) you have in some minor way encouraged farmers to go free range. Your doing the same as vegans, but adding some benifit for animals. Ofc im not saying it makes a difference if one person goes free range instead of vegan, but if you imagine every vegan in the world went free range meat eater(actual free range,proper certfied free range) - there would be more cows born so more living beings that get to exist, AND they would live a good life. Whereas if every person in the world went vegan,animals would stop being farmed and cease to be born and there numbers would drop by 99% so the future cattle would cease to exist and they wouldnt live ANY life. What do you think? We must also assume that for the sake of debate, im talking about real free range farmers, who only humanly kill animals when they reach atleast a middle age. And yes, I know this debates counts for vegetarians aswell, and yes I know many veges/vegans dont eat meat because they dont enjoy it and dont care about animals much. PS - Im not religious or vegetarian.No I dont understand veganism, thats why im asking. I dont call beign bred for slaughter life, if you throrughly read what I said, im just saying, the best there ever going to get is a middle age life ended humanly. And yes, being bred to lay eggs and be milked is a good life if free range. And I don't belive animals will die out, I didnt claim that, I said animals would reduce in numbers, and that means a lot of life is not created from what would have been. And im not talking a few months, im talking years and then a humane ending, which is the best there ever going to get - and the reason im not talking about a long lived life ending naturally, is because its never going to happen, that's the idea of this q, im being realistic not asking for miracles. more

Open Question: In China they eat cats and dogs, is that so bad?

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/03/09/china.animals/index.html?hpt=C2 Hindus in India hold the Cow sacred and we eat them in most every fast food joint. In Israel the Pig is not eaten, but we serve up bacon every morning. I love my dog, but Isn't it hypocritical? Shouldn't it be to each his own? Before anyone starts the "but dogs are pets argument", I lived on a farm as a kid and my best pet was a turkey, yes a turkey, many animals are intelligent not just dogs and cats. more

Open Question: The RSPCA aren't helping!!!?

I was wondering what can be done about these 2 situations - firstly, I have many ferrel cats around my neighbourhood, and as cute as they are, we are getting over run by them, and several kittens have lost an eye. So i called up the cats protection, and the rspca, and neither of them were willing to help. As they are ferrel, I can't grab them myself, and even if I could, I don't have the necessary equipment to transport them to the vets. My second concern is regarding a pony. I took my nephew to an open farm on sunday, all the animals were fine, except one pony that was walking around in circles, it was a lovely day, yet this pony was kept in a tiny stable and only let out for children to groom it. Of course any animal walking around in circles is a sign of boredom and distress, yet once again the rspca won't do anything. They said that as ive only been the once, that it isnt a cause for concern!! yet it was rather obvious by the little crop circle that the pony had made in its straw that this is something he had been doing for some time. So what do i do now? and why are the rspca so rubbish!! has anybody else experienced similar problems with them? more

Open Question: I need farmville friends..?

Is anyone wiling to add me on facebook and farmville so I can get enough neighbors to expand my farm? I'm seriously running out of room for animals and stuff.

I know I sound desperate and don't need anyone making fun of me either, thanks.I made it pretty clear that I don't need anyone making fun of me. I know there's more to life than this game, that's why it's JUST a game. There's also much more to life than being rude to people you don't even know on the internet. Thanks. more
