I have to delete and remove myself from all blogs.

So i will not be author of this blog any more, but if any of you wish to keep in contact with me i can be emailed at antianimalcrueltyclub@gmail.com . You can also inquire about joining the AACC.

Oh, the circus!!!

Most of us have been to the circus one time or another.  But, do you really know what goes on behind the curtain?  Did you know that the baby elephants are tortured and electrocuted if they try to play?  I can't speak for all circuses but I know of one for certain.  The Ringling Bros.  Go to www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com.  Click on a few videos or slide shows.  You'll see what I mean!  Also, I feel like the stuff I post on here is a little intense, but I want you all to know what is really happening and why animal cruelty should be taken seriously.  So, here's my question:  Should I try to lighten up on my posts, or continue to posts videos and such like the last one?

XOXOXO, Courtney

PS. Take a stand!  I have alerted my local news stations and emailed the president for a few different cases.  Get involved!  The animals can't.  

PPS. Someone commented on my personal blog where I get my information on here.  Well, go to www.peta.org.  I am a member on there and get alot of material from them.  PETA stands for "People for the ethnic treatment of animals".  Bye!

This is sad...

The video I am about to show you makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.  I'm not sure whether I really want to put it on here at all, but it is my responsibility to show you all how upsetting animal cruelty is.  This is a video of a teenager throwing five puppies to their death.  She heartlessly throws them, SMILING, into a river.  These puppies are about two weeks old, maybe younger.  They can't swim at that age.  I cried when I watched this video.

Warning: not for the faint of heart

So, there you have it.  Awful isn't it?

On a lighter note, only FOUR days until Christmas!!!  Make a homeless animal happy this Christmas!  Donate toys, food, or money to a local animal shelter!

XOXOXO, Courtney (Naturefreak)

The Voice of the Ocean

Far beyond the pastures of grass and miles away from the warmest woodland you can find something that differs from what you could think. Another world that might even be at your very fingertips. It's a spectacular place with unexplainable life. It's clouds are the pounding waves that crash back to where they once flowed as a silent atmosphere. Its winds are the powerful currents that drag the seaweed back and forth, guiding the jellyfish and tugging on the sandy floor. Its sky is the atmosphere itself. It's a place where every animal can glide through the bellowing waves and slice through the kind waters. In this place, there are no rules on how an animal can be shaped or how a mammal may swallow its prey. There is no right or wrong, only a when and where. This place is the ocean, and it is beyond our wildest imaginations.

Manatees graze on the sea grass as tuna follow their group away from danger. Sharks sneak through the waters listening for even the slightest sign of prey. Manta rays glide through the blue-tinted waters in search of their next meal. It's a dangerous, yet beautiful place.

The ocean has an odd way of speaking. It does not have a mouth, ears, lungs or eyes. It itself is nothing without the life that survives there. The life that lives there speaks for itself, and it speaks loud and clear. To its saddest desires, weakest hopes, and limpest feelings, us humans can try and try, but it will always be difficult to make out the words it speaks. We will never hear the voice of some animals, while we will struggle to find a home for others. While one animal sits on a picture-perfect rock cracking clams on its stomach, others sit in the dark, voicing but a whisper.

The silver lining of waves is often contaminated with transparent water bottles, musky oil, and filthy fishing lines. Sometimes large tarps and dead fish drape the ocean, suffocating what lives underneath.

What lives is not always what speaks, but somehow nature always finds a bright side. The animals of the ocean will live on. They will always talk with their soundless voices and move with their bold bodies. What truly gives them the will to live is the fact that life itself is possible, and if humans were the same the world might be a different place.

Let's try our best to help the ocean create words that are more understandable. Let's clip the plastic circles that hurt the fish and mammals. Let's recycle our trash so it doesn't crash on the ocean floor and disturb the life that tries to live. Let's use less of this and less of that, more of this and more of that. With everything that we have to lose, and everything that we have to win, it's time to help anything and everything.

We need to be the voice of the ocean.

Glue Traps

Glue Traps

Sometimes the worst thing someone can do is not know what they're doing. Sometimes the most harmful thing someone does is something

that makes it easier not to harm one's self. Sometimes, people buy glue traps.

What's a Glue Trap?

A glue trap is what it sounds like. It is a platform with a sticky adhesive that is used to trap small animals such as mice, rats, and bugs.

They're much more cruel then they sound though. This is why:

Small animals will wonder around the corridors of our lives and come across a dark platform with some of their favorite foods on it. They sniff it, then crawl over the platform. They feel something sticky weighing them down, but they ignore it and go for the food. It's then they realize that they can't reach it.

They try to move so they roll around a bit, only making things worse. They end up lying in their own feces even.

It isn't long before they are smothered in clear glue that traps their mouthes so they slowly starve to death, die of thirst, or if their face is pressed against the ground, they die because of lack of oxygen.

Sometimes, small animals wander there by accident (such as kittens, puppies, etc) and die the same death.

It's a slow, painful death, especially since the trap makes no noise to alert the person who had set it. It's even more terrible if someone forgets where the trap is, is to lazy to clear it, or just ignores it.

Please, in the name of all that is humane, don't buy glue traps!

Spread the word:

Post the following on FaceBook, Twitter, or any other site that helps get the word out:

A glue-trap is a platform with a sticky adhesive that traps small animals. They're much more cruel then they sound though. It isn't long before the victim is smothered in clear glue that traps their mouth so they slowly starve to death, die of thirst, or suffocate.

A Re-Introduction, Cruelty Cases, And Merry Christmas

Dear Readers,

A long time ago I wrote on Voice. I really enjoyed writing, but eventually I quit. Now I'm back and ready to write! You may have seen my first two posts (Cruelty Case Updates & Applause for Fighters of Animal Cruelty) and I hope you enjoy them. I worked very hard to find the information and write it out.

I'm sorry I have made a late introduction, but I'm sure you can forgive me. I also want to welcome the newest author, NatureFreak!

So with the new authors (including myself) I think we can make this blog the best it can be. Thank you authors of Voice, and I hope you welcome me with open paws!

The next thing I would like to write about (so I don't make this post pointless to my fellow fighters of cruelty) is some cruelty cases.

Warning: Disturbing

An investigation is going on who's victims are two abandoned pitbulls, another stuck to a five-foot chain, and several others. Investigators still aren't quite sure who left the dogs alone,but

they're doing their best to find out.

A neighbor claims that the owners had raised pit bulls and recently left, leaving eight or nine of them to roam on their own. One of them died and several others had run away. Two pitbulls that were left to die had no food or water. Good thing the police got there in time!

The neighbors also say that the last time they saw someone take care of the animals was November 11th.

To think that if they would have called sooner, the dogs could have been helped quicker. At least they decided to take action now!

************************************************

Animal Control recently saved sixty dogs and a bird from dangerous, filthy conditions. They were left in a nasty environment that was infested with fleas and other vermin.

The owner was 65 and from the looks of it, she has a hoarding problem (most people with that many dogs do).

The vets took the dogs and bird to the vet and had them treated for numerous skin conditions caused by the unsanitary living conditions.

The officers earned custody of eight dogs and the bird, but also removed the others do to the environment the animals were basically slaves to.

Don't Be Afraid

If you know about animal cruelty happening near you and are afraid to call the police, don't hesitate to do so. You won't just be saving a life, you'll be saving lives. It can be hard if it's a friend or a relative, but the world will be proud of you, and you'll be proud of yourself!

Merry Christmas!

On a happier note, that time of year is on its way! Yes, you know the time: Christmas time! I just want to wish everybody a merry Christmas, and I want to remind people about how helpful donating can be this time of year. Many animals will suffer in shelters, and if you can spare a dime, it'll do a lot of good. Go to ASPCA dot org and do your part if you can.

Merry Christmas!

New author

Hey guys!  *Waves*  I'm new to this blog, and my name is NatureFreak.  I hate animal cruelty with a passion and am so glad that I was invited to join this blog.  I hope you guys like what I have to say.  I found a few animal cruelty cases that I would like to share with you, so hopefully you can realize how awful it really is.  They are short, don't worry.

December 11, 2010


When your mad, you don't go and stab your neighbor's dog, do you?  Well that's what one man did.  He went next door, took the dog out of it's dog kennel, stabbed it, and threw it back in. It was a long-haired dachshund named Daisy.  


December 7, 2010


*Caution- extreme violence*


A woman in New Zealand had an awful surprise when she opened her door.  Her two month old kitten had been grabbed around the neck, and thrown against her wall until it died.  It had blood streaming out of it's eyes and was lying in a pool of blood when it was found.

This was her kitten

Last case:

December 6, 2010

Ryan B. came home one day after a phone call from his neighbor saying something in his backyard was on fire.  When he saw, he immediately burst into tears.  Someone had thrown gasoline on his dog's kennel, and set it on fire.  He said that his dog was like his baby and that the suffering that would have been brought was unimaginable.  He thinks that death by fire is the worst kind of death because you can feel everything and it brings incredible pain.  Everyone in the neighborhood loved the dog, as it was tremensely friendly.  He still cannot believe that someone would torture his only companion in this way.

Well, that's all for now, but I hope that you all see that animal cruelty is NOT to be taken lightly.  It is imperative that we find some way to stop it.

Cruelty Case News Updates

Warning: Disturbing Cruelty Cases Below!

What do you do when you're mad a your loved one and the dog is there? Certainly you don't shoot it several times and kill it! Well, apparently to a man named "Cook" had a different idea.

Cook was angry about drug charges and was arguing with his girlfriend and picked up pistol, threatening to shoot her. She said she didn't care so he pointed it to their pit-bull, Brandy. He shot the dog several times and it ran to the bathroom to hide. He shot it in the head to end its life. He went in the room and rapped the dog up in the blanket while the woman ran to her neighbor's house where she called the police who arrested Cook who faced a charge of aggravated assault and animal cruelty.

When a bear fights your dog, the last thing you should do is chase down the bear, strike it, and shoot it dead-especially if it's a threatened species! Apparently to this man, Ryan, the law doesn't apply to him.

Ryan's dog, Tigger, got in a fight with a black bear (a problem that could have been prevented if Ryan would have listened to the warnings and kept his food inside) and Ryan was so angry he went on a rampage and ran over the bear three times before shooting it.

The wife said that Ryan was so upset by the gash in Tigger's head (Tigger survived, by the way) that he chased the bear by truck and out of sight.

The neighbor had said, quote, "He just went crazy," and as did others.

He plead guilty and had to pay a $500 dollar fine which would got to wildlife. He was recently released from jail, and let's hope he remembers to keep his food in his house where it belongs!

George Outlaw has a different idea of what's good and bad. In his head, terribly treated pit bulls and a cat in the fridge is just what he needs to have a good day.

George was arrested with 10 counts of animal cruelty. His pitbulls had barely any shelter outside, and they didn't have access to food or water. They were extremely malnourished and deserved much better.

What shocked investigators and reporters most was the dead cat in his fridge. It had been skinned and its head was missing. Police suspect dog fighting, but no comments were made on the matter.

Along with all of this, he had drugs stacked about in his home. One of many reasons someone might train a helpless pitbull to make cruel acts.

The good that came out of his is his huge fine and his sentence in prison.

Those are all of the cruelty case updates for today. Thank you for reading!

A thank you to Pet Abuse dot Com for the information!

Applause for Cruelty Fighters (Tips To Help Your Community)

In this world, there are people who fight fire, people who fight sickness, people who fight crime, and people who fight people. In that same list is something that we're doing at this blog: fighting animal cruelty.

This blog has inspired lots of people to do lots of things to help their animal community! Whether it be recycling, using less water bottles, cutting up the plastic rings that your soda comes in, helping some dogs out of a hot car, or just helping a toad out of the chlorine-filled pool.

Every act is an act of kindness. Every act makes a difference.

So let's give a big round of applause for the people who have fought animal cruelty! The world is a beautiful place if we make it that way, and these people-young and old-are filling up the glass half full.

Here are some very simple things you can do that can help fight animal cruelty:

• Write/sign a petition to help stop some form of cruelty
• Help inform others about the harm animal cruelty can do
• Watch shows on animal welfare
• Treat your pet with respect and try to see things from its point of view
• Research animals and use that knowledge to your advantage

And those are just some of the many ways to help. Sometimes people do things even bigger!

Did you know that by helping animals that aren't treated badly, you can also help animals that are treated badly? Even if it just helps a pet get a better life, it makes a difference.

• A pair of teenaged girls I knew had wrote out a plan (and are going to use it) to build a dog park in their community! Even if that doesn't help animals treated cruelly, imagine what good it will do for the people who need a place to take their dog for some fun?
• By running a pet drive (where you give food and toys to pets) my girl scout troop and myself were able to get three cart-loads of things to help foster pets! Also, we helped get some foster dogs adopted out (this took place at Petsmart).

Little things make a big difference, and some things that you can do are closer than you imagine.

Thank you cruelty fighters!

~*Flamestorm*~

Unhealthy Cats

Dear Animal Lovers,

My cat recently was restricted to a DIET!! Because she is way over weight! Its unhealthy for a cat to be over weight because it makes them less active and there joints could cramp up! Make sure your feeding your pets the proper amount of food..... Annoyingly she meows every morning for food and races upstairs when she hears the crackle of a chip bag hoping that someone might be feeding her. If your thinking of getting a pet or just got one or even had pets for a long time. You should always check and be sure that your pet is getting the right amount of food everyday.

~*flamestorm*~

ASPCA Day!

 Some may not know this but there is a month where you wear orange for a day to show respect for ASPCA! Here are some banners (info on the day, scroll down!):

 ASPCA aka: American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a day where you have to wear orange. I am not sure if that was only 2007, but on April 10, you wear orange to show respect for ASPCA who has helped many animals. If you have extra money, donate to them! It really helps! There are 5-7 MILLION animals in the shelter every year so every penny counts! (Link on the sidebar) On April 9 (a day before) I will make this a button, so you can put this on your blog if you wear orange! Good idea? Thank you!

                                                         ~Cherry

(P.S. Sorry for being so repetitive!)

                                  ~Cherry

In memory of Max

Dear Voice Followers,

Pit Bulls are taken as the most violent... strong fighting dog alive. And are forced to fight in illegal dog fights... just yesterday at my friends house, i saw 2 pit bulls who are badly treated and hit by herself and her parents. I was sick of seeing her puppy Max a red nose pitbull bet beat up so i started to give him some T.L.C (tender loving care) and pet him. My friend stared at me for a few minutes and said "Dont be so nice you should hit him more" and then before i could reply said, "watch this" and pulled out a broom and.. well you can guess the rest. I was sickened by the way she treated her poor puppy.. so i called the police in my area (after i got home).... and they came over to inspect the dog.. with the local vet. They did and the dog has 3 cuts on his belly from FIGHTING with another dog!! So they took it away and now he is up for adoption in the local shelter... i hope someone loving adopts him. Its terrible when a dog is miss treated at a young age. There are little acts you can do at home to stop animal cruelty you dont have to right a letter to the president or start a big act.. just phoning the local police if you think something is happening near you can save an animal from cruel people.

With Love,

~*FLAMESTORM*~

A new Header?

WHY YES! as the title says a NEW header will be posted on the blog to 1. stop complaints! and 2. Because mine sucks! and yes i know it does you dont have to rub it in! I hope you like the new one! Any suggestions or ANYTHING are welcome thank you!! Header made by Cherry.
P.S sorry i cant be as good on this blog as Olive Tree (going by Olivia now)
~*Flamestorm*~
