This is from an E-mail I received from the Humane Society and thought it appropriate to share with this group:
Today is National Call-In Day for Downed Farm Animals! Our
recent undercover investigation of the cruel treatment of cows
at a California slaughter plant has sparked renewed attention to
the downer issue, with several Congressional hearings and bills
introduced. Now it's essential that we keep Congress focused on
the issue and ensure they take action.

I need some advice, I am really worried about our neighbors cat and think they might be neglecting it. We live in a large apartment and the people below us have a cat that they leave on the porch all the time. It is a 2nd story porch so that cat cannot get up or down.

In the struggle for racial justice, it’s time to pay more attention to the fears of white people.
In a white-dominated world, that may seem counterintuitive.

Expanded Undercover Investigation Shows Mistreatment of Downer Cows Is Commonplace at Livestock Auctions
May 7, 2008
The shocking abuse of "downer" cows occurs not just at slaughter plants but may be an everyday happening at livestock auctions and stockyards around the country—the midpoints between farm and slaughter—as shown in an expanding undercover investigation by The Humane Society of the United States.
"Downer" cows are those too frail to stand on their own—dragged and prodded with inhumane handling methods, and increasing the threat of carrying and passing disease.
During April and May, HSUS investigators visited auctions in Maryland, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Texas and videotaped downer cows at each stop—animals left to suffer for hours and in one instance overnight.

I had posted awhile ago about our dog being afraid of men. We have talked to the humane society and they told my husband what to do. Since he has started doing that which is spending time with the dog, feeding him special treats, taking him for walks, Bentley seems more afraid then ever. He has even stopped eating when my husband is around (won't eat if husband is near the dish or even in the kitchen), he is growling now, and wont' even sit next to me if I am sitting next to my husband.

In light of Glenn Beck's recent comments regarding social justice and the Church, there has been a lot of controversy, and speculation for that matter, regarding what a truly biblical view of social and economic justice should look like. Some, like Beck, would argue that God isn't the least bit interested in American or global political matters and politics, therefore, they should have no part of our religion. There are others, however, who believe that not only are Christians called to care for the poor, but that social and economic justice for the poor is fundamentally central to the heart of the Christian faith.

The Romeikes are not your typical asylum seekers. They did not come to the U.S. to flee war or despotism in their native land.
