You and others have given me some wonderful ideas. <BR/><BR/>It's terrible that so many people think it's all right to treat animals so badly.<BR/><BR/>Sienna/Pam,<BR/><BR/>Welcome to my place! I'm so glad you could make the trip.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is quite fascinating, with excellent photography. I was especially intrigued by the terrain around the opal mines where people live in caves or underground to escape the heat.<BR/><BR/>I have always tried to live closely with animals, especially dogs (and wolves) and horses. They are so peaceful and exciting at the same time. There is much that humans could learn from them, the most important of which is kindness.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your visit, and for saying such lovely things.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-50131265742342689762007-03-22T21:54:00.000-07:002007-03-22T21:54:00.000-07:00Such a nice blog, nice, caring people...g'day eve...Such a nice blog, nice, caring people...g'day everyone.<BR/><BR/>I breed and train dogs in Australia, it is distressing to hear of animals and children mistreated (and not appreciated) for the wonderful, beautiful gifts they are..(Love the bit about dogs as angels) sometimes you get the feeling they may know us even a little better than we know ourselves?<BR/><BR/>I love my dogs very much, all my animals and kids, thank goodness people like you guys are around and voice the wrongs...I do think laws and legislation and education are improving things slowly, I know I get to be the ripple affect here in my little corner of the world, and we adopt any creature that may want for a safe home...one person's voice does make a difference, good on you all.<BR/><BR/>Heartinsanfrancisco, this is a great blog, love your writings, thoughts and humor!<BR/><BR/>All the best.<BR/><BR/>PamSiennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387267690900119245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-9993202820623569182007-03-22T21:28:00.000-07:002007-03-22T21:28:00.000-07:00I wonder if the Humane Society has any clear rules...I wonder if the Humane Society has any clear rules of what constitutes pet "abuse" outlined somewhere.

But the city makes millions of dollars every year in parking violations, so they're not about to change their evil ways.<BR/><BR/>If the humane groups could get some kind of legislation passed that would fine people for such animal abuse, it would be wonderful.

Are they really so stupid that they don't realize they're abusing a living creature? Or do they just not care? <BR/><BR/>Jali,<BR/><BR/>You've given me a great idea. If the humane society can't do something, maybe the news people will.<BR/><BR/>I was interviewed on ABC news months ago when SF wanted to start charging for grocery bags. They finally dropped the idea, thankfully. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for suggesting this. I'll do it.<BR/><BR/>Furious,<BR/><BR/>I love your idea in theory, but some of them would probably take it out on the dogs. After all, they're assholes. <BR/><BR/>Kevin, <BR/><BR/>Some of them dye the dog's coat to match their outfits. They should get hard time for dying a poodle purple.<BR/><BR/>Idiots.<BR/><BR/>Thomas,<BR/><BR/>If I knew that, they would already be amoebae and we wouldn't have this problem.<BR/><BR/>Bob,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support. I don't think we even have a Marshall. <BR/><BR/>The world seems to be growing less humane. I don't see how this qualifies as progress.<BR/><BR/>Liz,<BR/><BR/>Only Two Hours? I'm sure we could do better than that. Bwahahaha. <BR/><BR/>I think that when dogs are hostile, it's because they've been abused. Very few, if any, are born that way. The ones who should be bitten are their selfish owners.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-57726052836846636162007-03-22T08:23:00.000-07:002007-03-22T08:23:00.000-07:00I see this kind of thing around here as well, exce...I see this kind of thing around here as well, except sometimes the dogs aren't so friendly and they're trying to nip at anyone who walks by. Regardless, their owners are completely irresponsible and I think they should be fined in some way for doing this. It's just wrong and unfair to the dog. Maybe a good punishment would be to tie the owner to a pole for two hours in the hot LA son or the cold San Francisco rain.Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-48533356949091798292007-03-22T06:59:00.000-07:002007-03-22T06:59:00.000-07:00Around here the marshall acts on animal abuse.
