Dear Friends and Family,
Summer is coming to a close, which for some means the last barbecue for the season.
 Make sure to pay special attention to your pets around the barbecue grill so they don't accidentally burn themselves or knock over the grill.
Also, make sure you thoroughly clean your grill after each use. The aroma and left over food particles can attract wildlife to your home. There have been several stories in the news this summer of raccoons, coyotes and bears being attracted to an open barbecue site. |
Karen Watts, the founder of the Cat- Dog- and Pet of the Day web sites, is a regular on the All Paws Pet Talk Radio programs each week. She delights our listeners with a featured pet of the day as well as pet-related topics from the current week's news.
Nominate your pet to be the pet, cat or dog of the day by sending Karen an e-mail at pet@petoftheday.com. You can tell everyone what makes your pet special and show their pictures to people in over 125 countries.
There's also an online pet forum with over 14,000 members from all of the world. I'm sure there is a forum that would interest you as well. |
States Considering New Legislation
to Require Convicted Animal Abusers to be Registered
As reported in Parade recently, there is a bill before the California legislature that would require adults convicted of felony animal abuse to register with local law enforcement. Tennessee, Louisiana, and New York are also considering animal-abuse registries.
Currently, Pet-Abuse.com tracks nearly 16,000 accused or convicted animal abusers. For more information or to see the types of cases listed in your state on this web site, please click here. The founder, Alison Gianotto, started this database when her neighbor's cat was intentionally killed by someone in 2001.
