Thankfully, some are using their fame for good:

It's shocking and sickening how cruel some people can be and yeah you're right about being hopeful cause I do think once people see what kind of thing goes on they at least talk about it and that's a start.

Oh I love elephants... I'm glad you posted that.

Have you seen this, about Shouka?

I know were going from one thing to another, but...

I caught a segment on some news show tonight (not sure which one since I was channel surfing). Chelsea Clinton was interviewing a woman who rescues orphan baby elephants. It was very interesting. They put blankets on them and each baby is very particular about what blanket they like. Just like kids!


Since we're skipping around subject wise and the title of this thread is "what not to eat", would someone please explain to my cattle dog that you don't eat ROCKS. Just brought her home from having emergency surgery on Tuesday.

Was it this woman?
http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or...lovestory.html She's awesome! They also featured her in the documentary, Born to be Wild:

My boyfriend's dog thinks rocks are the greatest toys ever. He digs them up and then sucks them, so odd. I hope your dog is ok!

I turned it on in the middle so I'm not sure of her name. Looks like it could be her.

Rumor had it lodged in her small intestine. So far, so good. She's got a pain patch until Saturday, on 2 antibiotics and 1 antinausea meds. They'll recheck her liver values next week and staples come out the 25th.
This is how I'm spending my vacay.

Hoping that she's doing better.

This happened to a dog belonging to a good friend of mine. When the veterinarian extracted the stone, my friend took it to a jeweler, had it polished and mounted in a necklace. Said she might as well wear it, since it was the most expensive stone she would ever own.

Oh well at least she won't be alone so I guess we need to appreciate the positives!

That is awesome, you are awesome and even though I'd sure they'd eat you in a sec I'd think they'd want to thank you for saying what you did!

It's beyond sick.

Some people have no soul. I don't get it.

IF (BIG IF) I make it through the Labor Day Weekend surfing off the beach cities of LA I might donate to save the sharks. Assuming they are nice enough to leave me be.

Here's what you do...

Go and buy one of those Hello, my name is name tags, write Freddy, and smart creatures that they are they'll find you so completely distasteful that they'll stay away.

Promise.

(Have fun!)

i hope the 'men in grey suits' leave you alone.

Home safe, despite an incredible rip and massive waves. The sharks were a distant afterthought compared to the swell. I was legitimately scared out there.
