      <title>An old trapper and his dog hunt together in the Taiga</title>

      <description>An old Russian trapper talking about his dogs. His working dogs (for hunting) and those he's love and lost. 

He describes losing his favorite dog to a bear - I couldn't imagine a bear taking one of mine, though I did once see my beloved cat Bob II picked up off the roof by a Bald Eagle many years ago. I was sad for him, I love my pets, but what a glorious way to go.  But I digress

Dog owners everywhere, I'm sure, can relate. But for these men, dogs are not just merely companions. They are their co-workers, as well as best friend on their long winter trapping expeditions into the harsh Russian winter. 

They have an eye out with every new brood for individuals with certain traits which make them invaluable in the harsh environment of Russia's vast and largely unpopulated Taiga region. 

This is a short chip from  Werner Herzog 's excellent documentary ' Happy People: A Year in the Taiga .' 

 

The hunt for the sable in the hollow log starts at 2:01, but the stuff that comes before that is worth watching and listening to, which is why I left it in. The dog dispatches the sable at 3:42, making his owner very proud and his himself very happy.

As much as I envy their lifestyle, I genuinely believe that I wouldn't be able to tough it out. I would love to give some sort of similar independent living some time, though, if only for a week or two.

      <description>It's been a shitty week (with way more to come) in the USofA. What with the IRS revealed as having become obammer's gestapo, obammer spying on the press, and the latest revelations of the complete, incompetent horror of Benghazi and its obammer coverup. Maybe need to take a pause and savor the kinder, gentler side of life through the eyes of some beloved pets ... and for a few minutes to stop weeping for my country ...</description>

      <description>This is Gus and bitty( I almost  left her out), he is a newfoundland and about ten years old, she is a Pembroke welsh corgi and around 11.  I just wanted to do a quick YS/ pet say to introduce my pets. I love them and they are better and more loyal than 98.3% of all the people I know. No matter how bad a day I have when I come home, they let me know they love me.

Around 1984 my baby sister was playing rough with one of the best dog a family can have she was a mutt but god dam if she was not smarter than Lassie. Well sis tugged and she snapped, and my sister needed 12 stiches and a plastic surgeon to fix her(she is beautiful). Needless to say my dad got rid of the dog that day. Made me sad and I cried, ,but he told me you can only trust an animal (same goers for people) till the fuck you, once they do, they  got to go. Because animals, like people will do everything and anything that needs to survive. Also they will learn and continue to do whatever they think they can get away with. Far out. deep. I did not get it at the time I do now,  the way he told it to me I understood, I thought. As I have grown I see it more and more and he was right.

 Snakes that eat a baby, dogs that kill a neighbor, stingrays that kill tv hosts. It is never the ANIMALS fault. It is always the person. Animals are just doing what it needs to do to survive.

We love them like people, but we forget that they are animals, and up until a hundred and fifty years ago they worked for you or you did not keep one, to much to feed. I do not think I am cold, heartless mean or anything, I think I look at it with reality in mind, it is an animal. Broken to be man/woman's companion sure.

 I love my animals feed them the best, they diet, have per health care(nuts) all because what they give me I can not get anywhere else. The love and companionship is priceless. They are worth a lot and I would be lying to tell you I would not spend copious amounts of cash to keep them with me. On the same hand if they ever snapped and hurt someone I would put them down and then I would look at the situation to try to find out what I did wrong. I know my animals I know what makes them nervous scared, upset. They only way they would ever hurt someone would be if I put them into a situation were they felt threatened. Thus it is my fault. 

Like all animals owners I am responsible for my pets and all they do. Me, not a breeder, not a puppy mill, not their fucking breed. GOD, Darwin. It all comes down to.ME. Me and ME alone

Still a animal.. questions comments, anything you know how to find me. If you are an ass I will not block I never will block anyone troll are funny as shit most of the time. If I can not laugh at myself who am I to laugh at you.</description>

      <title>PetAg Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR) Is A Toxic Poison And They Murdered My Kitten!</title>
      <pubDate>Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:09:29 -0400</pubDate>

YOU MURDERED MY KITTEN!


UPDATE (29/04/2013):
The vet herself filed this complaint regarding the image, 'violent speech' is bullshit, I told her I wasn't buying her insane medical jargon attempts to get my kitten back into their perverted office; who gave the wrong instructions to start with and caused the PetAg formula to become rancid; so we have both companies involved refusing to take responsibility, the vet for malpractice, and the formula company for marketing a product that becomes a toxic poison with the mild application of external heat, even while the container is sealed tight; PetAg has had these complaints lodged against them since 1995.

&amp;quot;Pamela MacLean
Hey, I don't like this photo. Please remove it. Slandering two companies. This gentlemen was extremely violent in his speech.&amp;quot;

This women was extremely dishonest with her lies over the phone and extremely violent when she slammed down the phone.

EXTRA BONUS UPDATE:
Same vet, not realizing that staff of Shadow Project are intimatly involved in this case; sent the above complaint about the customer; and then the following email TO the customer! AMAZING, THE DIFFERENCE OF TONE!

&amp;quot;Mr Guptill
We received your emails this morning of your very sad story.   We deeply regret that your very young kitten did not survive.

At this time I have removed the product in question from our shelf and have contacted the manufacturer for further information.  I expect I will hear back from them before the day is out.

 Sincerely,

Pamela MacLean&amp;quot;
Not On Video Update (26-04-2013):
PetAg DID call me back, first the Public Relations (Propaganda) person told me that another employee was in the room listening to the conversation to 'act as a witness'; as they had already called the police on me and stated I was threatening them in a way that &amp;quot;Made them think of the Boston Bombings&amp;quot;; she stated they had run laboratory tests on their product (First call came at 5:00 P.M. yesterday, second came around 6:30 P.M. today, so in only one eight hour work shift they ran and completed their 'battery of tests'.) and determined their product was safe, and were going to carry out an alleged 'independent test' to prove it further, what they did not do is test the can in my fridge, or locate any other cans from the shipping pallet that can came in on; the fact they are only testing their product now after I called in and reported the death of my kitten, then told them I have launched this campaign suggests they had not tested their product previously.

After I refused to accept this, and informed them I had seen necropsy records of their products effects on animals, along with wildlife experts testimony to the developmental deformations promoted by the formula, and that no product intended as baby food should ever chemically change through the mild application of external heat, from a sun lit window, or even the shipping truck; should ever be sold or marketed, they told me the conversation was finished and hung up.

Squirrel Experts agree:
&amp;quot;The Squirrel Board does not recommend ANY formula for feeding baby squirrels except Fox Valley Day One for squirrels: http://www.foxvalleynutiriton.com, Day One 32/40 and 20/50.

Any formula made by Pet Ag, including Esbilac and KMR (Kitten Milk replacer), has been responsible in the past three years for thousands of deaths of wildlife babies, including squirrels. There are several Sticky threads here on TSB detailing this issue. Again, we DO NOT recommend anything but Fox Valley. There is a temporary Goat's Milk Formula you can use until the Fox Valley arrives, which is also available in the following thread:

&amp;quot; UPDATE: 09/28/12: Was emailing someone who was having problems with a baby squirrel. He told me he fed her Esbilac. I asked him if it was yellow or clumpy. He said &amp;quot;yes.&amp;quot; Bad Esbilac is still on shelves! Smell and examine the formula before using it. I personally will not use their products. They don't care about animals or consumers.&amp;quot;

      <description>A Concord, New Hampshire, woman has been charged with torturing her 18-year-old son, burning and beating him over the course of at least several weeks. A second individual, a 20-year-old man from Tennessee, has also been charged with participating in the abuse by strangling the man,
breaking his ankle and forcing him to eat feces.

Christine Gelineau, 52, was arraigned this morning at Concord's district court along with Daniel Tyler Cantrell of Sparta, Tenn. Both were held on $200,000 cash bail. Cantrell was arrested at about 7 p.m. yesterday and Gelineau was taken into custody a few hours later, according to the police.

&quot;This is among or one of the most disturbing things we've ever seen,&quot; Concord police Lt. Timothy O'Malley said. &quot;The victim is, we don't believe his injuries are life-threatening, but they are extremely disturbing, and there are serious injuries.&quot;

O'Malley said the police believe the abuse took place at Gelineau's Modena Drive home. Most of the charges accuse the pair of abusing the man from April 10 to 14, but Cantrell is also charged with grabbing the man's ankle and twisting it until it broke sometime since March 10.

Prosecutor Tracy Connolly said in court that officials at the Division of Children, Youth and Families were first contacted by a 12-year-old girl who witnessed much of the abuse while staying at the home for a weekend with her friend. That friend is the daughter of Gelineau's niece, who also lives in the home, according to Connolly.

DCYF contacted the Concord police on Monday, according to an affidavit in the case. The police say detectives initially interviewed Gelineau's son and Cantrell together, at which time the 18-year-old man claimed his injuries were self-inflicted. Both Gelineau and Cantrell have been charged with coercing the man to lie to the police. 

The most unsettling injuries described in court documents pertain to the man's burns.

According to the affidavit, Gelineau burned her son's penis and Cantrell burned the man's nipples, holding a lighter to them for about two minutes as he screamed in pain. Throughout that incident, Gelineau beat her son over the head with a stick, according to the affidavit.

A detective reviewing the man's injuries noted that his nipples were &quot;completely burned off,&quot; according to the affidavit. Doctors at Concord Hospital, where Connolly said the man was taken yesterday and is still being treated, said he suffered second- and third-degree burns.

Gelineau is also accused of stabbing her son with a pen and kicking him in the face. The police say on several occasions Cantrell pulled a piece of fabric around the man's throat so tightly that he couldn't breathe. He's also accused of confining the man in a bedroom and tying his hands behind
his back so Gelineau could burn his penis with a lighter.

Another charge accuses Cantrell of holding a lighted cigarette against the back of the man's neck.

Both Gelineau and Cantrell withheld food from the man, and Cantrell forced him to drink urine, according to the affidavit. And while the 12-year-old girl was at the home for the weekend, she took a picture on her cell phone of Gelineau's son sitting at a table being forced to eat what she
said were worms, Connolly said. 

&quot;He was also told that if he did not eat some worms that were provided to him that they were going to burn his penis. He did in fact eat the worms,&quot; Connolly said. 

They burned him anyway, she said.

Connolly said many of the charges stem from the girl's description of what she saw but also Cantrell's and Gelineau's own admissions of how they tortured the man.

&quot;In speaking with the police yesterday, (Cantrell) gave,recited what he did to the victim with very little emotion, which causes the state ... to have a heightened concern for safety of the public.&quot;

Cantrell and Gelineau were both arraigned today by video feeds from the county jail. The mother didn't argue for a lower bail. Cantrell spoke only to tell Judge Gerard Boyle that he wanted to be transferred to Tennessee because he has no family in New Hampshire.

&quot;I have no way of doing anything. I really don't know what to do, honestly. I'm not saying what I've done was right. It was wrong but -,&quot; he said before Boyle cut him off, saying he didn't want to hear anything about the case.

The judge told Cantrell that he would be appointed a lawyer and could discuss his legal questions then.

Cantrell is facing eight Class B felonies and two Class A misdemeanors. Gelineau has been charged with three Class B felonies and two Class A misdemeanors. They've both been scheduled for probable cause hearings, where a judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the case to be
forwarded to a Merrimack County grand jury, on April 29.-------------------------- Second relative charged with torturing teenager 
The teenager who officials said was burned and beaten by his mother and an acquaintance was also tortured by his cousin, according to the police, who said they are still uncovering disturbing layers to the abuse inside the family's Penacook home.

Amy Nason was charged yesterday and accused of pressuring the 18-year-old man to ingest urine, feces, worms and dish soap. She refused bail and will be arraigned Monday at Concord's district court.

Her aunt, 52-year-old Christine Gelineau, as well as 20-year-old Daniel Cantrell of Sparta, Tenn., were each charged with a string of assault-related felonies on Wednesday.

All three have been charged with pressuring the teenager to tell detectives his bruises and broken bones were self-inflicted.

The police said he maintained that lie - out of fear - until only recently.

Nason, who turned 29 yesterday, has been convicted of cruelty before. Court documents show she left several animals to live in squalor at a Lee apartment she had been evicted from.

The Concord police began investigating the conditions at the family's Island Shore Estates townhouse Monday after being contacted by the Division for Children, Youth and Families, according to Lt. Timothy O'Malley. DCYF was notified by the parents of a 12-year-old girl who had spent a weekend at the home with her friend, Nason's daughter, O'Malley said.

The charges span a nearly six-week period from March 10 to Wednesday.

A city prosecutor at Cantrell and Gelineau's arraignment Thursday said some of the charges stem from the 12-year-old girl's report. But the mother and Cantrell also admitted to much of the abuse, according to the prosecutor, who said the man recounted his actions with &quot;very little emotion.&quot;

According to the affidavit, Gelineau burned her son's penis and Cantrell burned his nipples, holding a lighter to them for about two minutes as he screamed in pain. Throughout that incident, Gelineau beat her son over the head with a stick, the police said.

A detective reviewing the man's injuries noted that his nipples were &quot;completely burned off,&quot; according to the affidavit. Doctors at Concord Hospital, where O'Malley said the man was taken Wednesday and was still being treated yesterday, said he suffered second- and third-degree burns.

Gelineau is also accused of stabbing her son with a pen and kicking him in the face. The police said on several occasions Cantrell pulled a piece of fabric around the man's throat so tightly that he couldn't breathe. He's also accused of confining the man in a bedroom and tying his hands behind his back so Gelineau could burn his genitals with a lighter.

Other charges accuse Cantrell of holding a lit cigarette against the back of the man's neck and twisting his ankle until it broke.

The police said there is no apparent motivation.

&quot;Right now the best thing we can come up with is abject cruelty,&quot; O'Malley said.

Nason, who Cantrell said in court is pregnant with his child, was charged with animal cruelty in August 2011 after her landlord reported that she had been evicted and left her pets behind.

Police officers found 11 animals there, including a dead turtle and a dead cat, which was outside and decomposing, according to court documents. Several animals were outside the home without food or water when officers arrived, including a cat that had given birth to two kittens that were inside, where the mother could not reach.

The apartment was filthy, according to the officers, who had difficulty walking through it because of the amount of feces and urine on the floors. A small amount of dog food had been left in bowls, and an open container of bird food for the parakeets was in a bedroom, but the officers found no water available to the animals, according to the affidavit.

Most of the animals were found to be neglected, including three dogs that were infested with fleas and Lyme disease. The two kittens were found behind a pile of debris on a kitchen counter where they had no blanket or bed, according to the affidavit.

Nason claimed to be an animal lover and denied the allegations, according to media reports.

But in February she pleaded guilty to five counts of animal cruelty and was ordered to pay about $2,700 in restitution.

In the Concord case, she's facing two Class B felonies, one for reckless conduct and one for tampering with a witness. O'Malley said the reckless conduct charge is a felony-level offense because the police are considering the feces she's accused of pressuring the man to eat to be a deadly weapon, as it could have made him
