I wouldn't want to be around that cat when he decides to kneed his claws...

Some people save a baby elephant from drowning in a cistern, and get chased for their troubles.

Roicy Duhon Animal Control is located in Lafayette, Louisiana. This video contains the photos of the animals available for adoption as of October 2, 2007. There time is limited, so please do what you   more...can now to help.

There are many adorable kittens in all colors. There are two sweet young cats, Monkey and Blue, who were owner surrendered together. Their only crime was that they were too active, and now they find themselves behind bars.

As usual, the black Labs are present, this time 4 of them. Blackie and his two sons, Noah and Jonah, were surrendered. And Seth was probably found as a stray, but nobody has come for him. These sweet, shiny black boys will have a tough time finding a home, as black Labs and their mixes are just about the most common site on death row and the toughest to get out. So, with Dubois who was held over, that makes 5 of them. The dog that is so in demand in the east, is thrown away like yesterday's newspaper here in the south. It is heartbreaking, and as anybody who has ever loved a Lab knows, a crime, as there is no better family pet around.

It seems that a direct result of getting the word out locally by TV, flyers and email, there is a huge jump in intake numbers. This animal control facitily has already taken in over 8,000 animals, some of those wildlife, but in any event, almost 1000 animals more than ALL of last year. Perhaps the staff is not being brutally honest with these people, or perhaps they don't want to know. Some come in with dog houses, beds, toys, even clothes. These people are living on Fantasy Island, as the fact of the matter is that a very large percentage of the animals entering this facility will die. This was not the case for the two years after Katrina, because everyone wanted to save Katrina animals and their offspring, but it is no longer the case anymore. The overpopulation problem here is astounding. The director made the decision about 1.5 years ago to give those who make it to adoption more time, and the volunteers agree with this as it is impossible to get anybody out in a very few days, especially now. So, these adoption row residents have a chance to be held over, sometimes several times. But many of the animals won't ever have that chance. They are the faces that we will never see....the bios you will never read. And when one of these on adoption row goes to a home quickly, someone else from stray hold gets to go to adoption row. And, as is true in many shelters throughout south Louisiana, they are animals who would have been adopted, if there was space and time. I pray that one day the people in south Louisiana "get it".  less

After my wife saw Lassie save Timmy from a well, she wanted to find out if our dogs would rescue her, too. So she hid in a box and waited to see what would happen.

MY INTRO: I wrote a blog a few months ago about how angry I was at some narrow minded christians on YouTube that was outraged by this video. In the video it is suggested that apes should be classified   more...in the same category as humans and they should be able to be protected under the same rights as humans. I say "we owe them that much"...All GREAT APES are becoming extinct and it who is killing them off. HUMANKIND. I believe God loves these animals as much as he loves all of his creatures and he loved None over Another. Any creature with those basic instincts like we do...are human...just a little hairyer. Check out the YouTube channel and become aware of what crappy things humans do to animals.

Rescue Me by Tokio Hotel

This used to be our secret
Now I'm hiding here alone
Can't help but read our names on the wall
and wash them off the stone
I trusted you in every way
But not enough to make you stay
  more...Turn around
I've lost my ground

Come and rescue me ----- I'm burning
Can't you see ------ Come and resuce me
Only you can set me free ------ Come and resuce me
Rescue me

We lied when we were dreamin'
Our cryin' was just fake
I wish you could deny it
Here and today

My s.o.s. On radio
The only chance to let you know
What I fear

Can you hear
Come and rescue me ----- I'm burning
Can't you see ------ Come and rescue me
Only you can set me free ------- Come and rescue me
Rescue me ----- You and me

The walls are coming closer
My senses fade away
I'm haunted by your shadow
I reach to feel your face

You're not here
Are you here?

Come and rescue me
Rescue me

Come and rescue me ------ I'm burning
Can't you see ------ Come and rescue me
Only you can set me free ------ Come and rescue me
Rescue me  less
