Today, I found my pet mouse dead in the cage. My boyfriend thinks we should bury her, but I don't know if she died of illness or of something else (she was still young). I am afraid that, if she was ill, some animal could find and eat her, and become ill too, and so maybe it will be better to burn her or something. What to do with her? Are we breaking some laws if we burn or bury her? I don't know what to do, it is the first time a pet dies on me and I am still shocked from the ugly sight, please help!

he was running and fell off of the bed and just sat there. and when I picked him up he was very limp and he held COMPLETEly still for about 10 mins then snapped out of it and is acting normal. This has happened more than once but the other times he wasn't dropped. He has a brother and this holding still thing has never happened to his brother. Anyway, is he okay?

well you see......

i own a rabbit we have had him 1 year and this summer we noticed him chewing on his cage (witch is huge) and after he chewed on it he got a tooth disorter.

this means his teeth grow and grow and we have too trim his teeth. Now trimmimg his teeth eally hurts him and it splits his teeth in half. Are there any of you that have rabbits with this problem? if so please help!!!!! Any way are there any other ways too do his teeth other than trimmimg?

p.s. we were thinking about filing them would this work????/

p.s.s. for those that are wondering why we trim his teeth well here is the answer

1. with his teeth long he cant eat so he will die

2. if he can eat, he will chew weird and the food wont digest properly!!!!!!

I have the two pickiest piggies! I've had piggies all my life (swore I wouldn't get more, but these guys needed to be rescued from a bad situation) and they are picky! I give them pineapple, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, brocolli, apples, oranges, strawberries, cucumbers, you name it, they've tried it. They only eat carrots. I've never had pigs like this! They eat their pellets, but I want them to get lots of natural food and fiber and get a healthy variety. What else can I try? They always have a piggy granola bar and piggy pellets that have seeds and corns and things in it (they leave the corn kernels in the bowl for me), as well as berry yogurt drops and of course fresh water, unlimited timothy hay, toys, chew blocks, a tunnel to run in and two piggy igloos, all contained in a 6' x 3' "c&c" cage. Are they over stimulated? Or will they just be picky kids their whole lives?

My question is.....

Who out there does not see that an animal should not have surgery performed on it if it is not for their own benefit?

I don't need people coming back and telling me their declawed cat has lived a perfectly happy life after being declawed. I'm aware it happens. My question goes to the basic morality involved in altering an animal when there is NOTHING in it for them. Declawing is even less justifiable than tail docking and ear cropping - as least with these you can argue your saving them from problems with these later (I still don't agree with these procedures either though.

Please can I have some responses from people in favour of declawing - sticking to the moral side of the argument. I'm after making people think what it says about them to try to shape an animal for their convenience - especially when there's a fair chance the animal is not going to come out of the procedure unharmed.

I want something cool and fun rather than the standard bone or heart shaped piece of thin cheap metal I can get at the vending machine in walmart. I want something fun a frisky for my cat and dog. Are there any websites I can order such things from?

It hurts just as much for the owner. I know the reason why the law was created in the first place but why don't they change it? I just found out that my cat was hit by a car last night and the idiot just left it! Why would anyone do that? Does he have no compassion? She was 6 months old and had just started going outside. Ours is a quiet road so i thought she was safe!
I think the law should be changed, does anyone agree with me?

Unless you're a breeder/shower of special breeds, I cannot for the life of me figure out what is so wrong about spaying/neutering. Please, those who seem to object so strenuously, EXCEPT for breeding the special breeds and/or working animals (guide dogs, herding dogs, etc.), tell me what your objections are. I'd truly like to know.

I have always been a fan of PETA, until recently, I read an article where they stated that pit bull's should be euthanized. (This was bad news to me and my pit bull Sheena) I didn't think People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals would support euthanization of an entire breed. This caused me to dig into the organization a little further, and I became appauled at their beliefs. I mean, I can't believe I was giving money to them. they believe the following:

All domesticated animals need to be euthanized or neutared to prevent them from being outside of their natural state.

A domesticated animal is altered by man, and it is better to have it destroyed than let it be a negative example of a free animal.

Most state they don't have pets and hate the idea of man associating with an animal

Have gone on record for stating they would rather save a smart dog than a retarded baby

These are just a few of the horrible things that I have discoverd about them from reputable sites
