Vets

Putting down your best friend is the hardest thing anyone can do.
In the past, we worried about leaving a dog or giving it to the SPCA because it was known animals were given or sold to scientists who did experiments on them.
So in order to avoid that, you made sure the dog was put down before leaving so it would not be made to suffer.
After watching this video, I now have shivers going up my spine.

Do we now have to take the body home after euthenasia, to make sure the vet did a proper job?
This is another example, that no one can be trusted to do the right thing and for the right reasons.

We put our 7 year old shepherd down because of major hip displasia. He would have needed
many operations,at another facility who did this sort of thing, lots of money, and no guarantees that he would not be afflicted with the same problem after wards.

We did not say good bye to him as this would have been too painful and I would have broken down last minute and taken him home.But it cost us a lot to do this after the xrays and such, plus cremation costs.
Now to find out we paid for one thing and then if the Vet did another ......??????

This gives plenty to think about.
Vets get samples from companies and like doctors, they push products for these companies ,making patients sorta like guinea pigs.

This sort of makes the whole system kinda untrustworthy.It makes the pot calling the kettle black a reality .
Vets have become pushy people, making you feel bad for not doing something or not feeding the dog a special brand of expensive and yet maybe still unhealthy dog food.
They have been known to lead people on to spend more money.

This man was stunned to see his dog wake up but now, how can he put it down again, when the dogs' will and destiny, is to live?

Man to dog trainer: "Every time a bell rings, my dog goes into the corner."
Dog trainer: "That's OK, he is a Boxer."

A wife says to her husband one weekend morning, "We've got such a clever dog. He brings in the daily newspapers every morning." Her husband replies, "Well, lots of dogs can do that." The wife responded, "But we've never subscribed to any!"

Teaspoon the Chin

This is Teaspoon my Black Chinchilla


I raised him from a squirt and he is a very intelligent little critter.
They eat these little guys in South America and their fur is prized because it is as soft as silk.

They come in various colors and you never will know what color you may get if they breed.

He eats a spoonful of alfalfa a day and I also give him a carrot and apple for water intake and vitamin C.

Chins do not need much care but they do not like to get wet. Once he gets used to you he will run around your body and sit in your hand. They are very friendly and clean.

The babies are born ready to go go go with teeth and scamper around, which means you need a cage with very small holes or they will climb through.
They nurse like kittens and Mama's keep Papa's away since Papa's could kill the babies.
When you hold them they get nice and warm and sleep on their backs with their mouths open, like real babies. Sooooo cute! :)

It takes about 1000 of these little guys to make one fur coat. A litter born to a cage is usually 2-4 kits.

The chin farms use two electrodes to kill them.
One end they insert into the mouth and the other into the other end.

Horrible end to this sweet squirrely rabbit.

I had a baby which had a twisted intestine and when I took it to the vet she put it down and asked me if I wanted it for the fur. It was a nice champagne color.
Even a small piece like that is expensive. This black baby cost me 300 dollars but it is rare to find and he is living with me for quite a few years now. When my husband comes downstairs Teaspoon chirps good morning to him and he likes that.
Of course I said no to the body. How can you skin a pet????

The chin farms raise them in separate cages so as to keep the fur intact.

My kids are grown but the chin is still here. I would give it to another child if I knew they would not abuse it. They are quite entertaining, cost little to maintain and do not smell like rabbits do.
