I recently heard a story on channel 3 news about transporting 14 puppys in the cargo hold on American Airlines, of which 7 were found DEAD upon arrival, because of the heat. Most airlines allow a pets to be brought into the cabin area IF they are 20 lbs or less. I have a Bishon who is about 22 lbs. I would be more than happy to purchase a seat next to me at full Adult rate so my dog can be taken care of properly. My understanding is that once the pet is placed in the cargo hold, there is no care given to those animals or they are even checked on, during the flight, until the plane lands and the cargo hold is opened. How would you like to check your pet in as baggage only to find out that your pet died due to conditions, in the cargo hold, upon arrival at your destination. I would be severly mad. Is there anything that can be done about this? Thank you for reading this.

I'm trying to put a widget on my facebook. How do I do that?

Most people who live in NYCHA housing are not discriminating against the dogs (Pit Bulls & Rottweilers in particular.) It is the irresponsible owners who let small children walk the dogs, How young adults allow the dogs to fight while they look on and laugh, while children are being dismissed from school. Who wants to get mauled?, these ignorant so called adults mainly used the dogs to intimidate other tenants and anyone else. On the other hand, dog poop and dog urine is everywhere you look on project grounds. Outside, in the grass, in the hallways, and yes even in the elevators. So you see I' am not opposing the dogs, it is the owner. I have lived in New York City Housing now for almost ten years, and just about everyone owns a dog, But I have yet to see the owner curb or clean up after their dogs. If the dog is pooping as he is coming out of the building they keep walking with no remorse. Sad, Not everyone is equipped to own a dog. They say they love their dogs, I strongly disagree, because they would not have a problem scooping when their dog is finished pooping, bottom line these people are really nasty. Oh, yeah and don't even waste anytime reporting it, Who cares, Surely not NYCHA Thank you for reading this blog with all due respect I' am fed up and feel I have no where to turn, I would gladly love and appreciate anyone who knows what can be done to "Cleanup this Mess."

I am absolutely for the ASPCA! We ARE their voice!

i think people that do supid stuff like hurting animals are very,very stupid cuz how ould they feel 2 be treat like it the animals it woulnt be gud would it!:[

I admire the cops that take care of the animals and hand out punishment for the cruelty of any animal. If I had the space I would adopt all of the animals I see. If you are going to own a pet you need to take care of it. My animals are my children.

I want to help you anyway I can.

I believe this quote says is all: "We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals". - Immanuel Kant (German Philosopher)
