Welcome to > the Twilight Zoned Out. OK. I feel it necessary to clear up all these misconceptions with a name change. From now on I will tell people I am an Animal Advocate. That means that I speak up for animals. Right? Except in UK where it would mean that an animal can hire me as a lawyer. I also seem to have read somewhere that rats, mice, voles, etc. reproduce, much as any other mammal does. A study shows that if the entire New York Sewer system was emptied of rats and mice and a few alligators, if a male and female rat and a male and female mouse were to be placed there on January 1, in just under a year, the entire New York Sewer system would have the same number of rodents as it had before. This study is based on absolutely no verifiable research, and is simply a product of an over-active imagination. As is the study that cats kill BILLIONS of small mammals and birds each year. I need a cup of coffee. Uh, no. Last study I read, coffee was not good for the health. But that was refuted by the former study that it is good for the health and can prevent senility. However, I can't have a sandwich any more because whole wheat or any wheat, oats, bananas, orange juice, and most food is a health hazard, except for animal based food I guess because I haven't seen any studies recently to prove that animal protein is harmful and the myth of clogged arteries from animal fat has been debunked, rebunked and debunked again. I'm down to eating floor dust. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! >________________________________ > From: Alev <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, February 3, 2013 10:57 AM >Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] War on Cats and Others > > >Lee, > > >I couldnt agree more, thank you for this email, I will never stop talking >about animal rights to people, >take care > >Sent from my iPhone > >On Feb 2, 2013, at 5:41 AM, Lee Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > > >There is so much nonsense, mythology and prejudice going around when it comes to diseases in general, whether cat, dog or human that it's a wonder any of us survive the ignorance rather than the disease. An acquaintance of mine was told by a licensed veterinarian that she needed to have her healthy FIV+ cat euthanized because humans can catch it from cats. Meow? My tenant, when I had a rent house, insisted that FIV was highly contagious but FeLv was NOT. Tail backwards. People to this day refuse to hug a person who is living with HIV but will shake hands with someone who has a horrid head cold and get all chummy with people who are coughing all over the air. >> >>Many veterinarians seem not to like cats to the point of finding reasons to put them to death. Others are simply too lazy to study new theories of medicine. In some cases, we have not traveled more than inches away from dancing around the bonfire to banish evil spirits as a cure for illness. >> >>Finally, we are now being treated to amazingly inflated statistics from almost comic studies that produced the startling news that cats kill rats and mice. Who would have thought!! Not just some rats and mice but toss in moles, voles and gophers, not to mention those things with wings that mostly fly. Stir with a hefty dose of sensationalism due to a slow news day, and you come up with BILLIONS of small mammals and birds being slaughtered and exterminated by feral cats. Please don't mention though that humans have hunted dozens of species to extinction just to have a head to hang on the wall or a rug for the floor, or as a way to stop male sexual dysfunction, or to carve into little statues or furniture (elephants) or just as a lovely delicacy to eat at a way overpriced fancy restaurant. (shark fin soup and other disgusting dishes). Sometimes it seems like humans will kill everything from snails to whales for the most trivial or ridiculous reason. However, just let it be known that cats kill mice and rats for a living and you have panic in the streets. Ah well, time to get off my soap box and go to bed. >> >> >> >> >>Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty >>neighbors too! >> >> >_______________________________________________ >>Felvtalk mailing list >>[email protected] >>http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org >> >_______________________________________________ >Felvtalk mailing list >[email protected] >http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org > > > _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
