Wild Animals Need Furs
Maybe you were doing some Spring cleaning in grandmother's attic and you uncovered an old fur coat. Now I'm betting most animal lovers wouldn't choose to wear it, but thrifting or selling the pelt isn't the best solution.

Pet Dye Jobs: Cool or Cruel?
I was kind of at a loss when I saw this pic of a Westie outside of the Republican National Convention – talk about a serious dye job!
