NEW ZEALAND — More than 20 seals have been clubbed to death on the Kaikoura coast. Some of the eight newborn pups killed in the attack were just a few days old. The dead seals also included 13 females and two bulls, according to media reports. Department of Conservation South Marlborough area manager Dave Hayes told media it was a "callous and cowardly attack". "Some of the dead seals appear to have been killed a week ago; others look to have been killed around a week or so beforehand," he said. "This is a callous and cowardly attack on seals, especially newborn pups, unable to defend themselves against someone striking them with a bat or similar club-like object." He said after examining their smashed skulls it appeared it "was a person or persons of some strength who carried out the attacks". The seals were found at the Ohau Point seal colony, about 22 km north of Kaikoura township. Anyone with information about the seal attack and the person or persons responsible should contact DOC's South Marlborough Area Office in Renwick, phone (03) 572 9100 or police.

Chito made friends with the croc after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state's Parismina river 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death. But Chito enlisted the help of several pals to load the massive reptile into his boat. He says: "When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house". "He was very skinny, weighing only around 150lb I gave him chicken and fish and medicine for six months to help him recover. "I stayed by Pocho's side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad. It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals - especially ones that have suffered." It took years before Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to the animal. He says: "After a decade I started to work with him. At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more. "Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me." At one point during his recovery, Chito left the croc in a lake near his house. But as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the water and began to follow him home. Chito recalls: "That convinced me the crocodile could be tame." But when he first fearlessly waded into the water with the giant reptile his family was so horrified they couldn't bear to watch. So instead, he took to ...

Our dog Laika got to see my husband for the first time in 8 months and went nuts! I didn't video tape it all but the next half an hour she ran around the house peeing every time she saw him. It was adorable. He had to go back and we miss him so much! I should probably note we've heard her bark maybe twice in the 2 years since we got her.

Dear my Animals Friends! Thousand Healthy animals dying in New Zealand SPCA Shelters.. I am writing to you to raise a matter which greatly concerns me, and which should also, I believe, concern the National Council of the RNZSPCA and its Branches and member bodies. This issue is more than just a clash between philosophies. It is reflective of a bigger problem with the way SPCA society Bay Of Islands views companion animals. Please click on the Links: The full Story Info; About SPCA, Bay of Islands www.scribd.com "Many animals are abandoned not because they have behavior problems, but simply because they have become inconvenient... Basically, dogs are abandoned or surrendered to shelters because they misbehave. Dogs misbehave (act like dogs), simply because no one taught them how to behave appropriately when living with people,, Some get a second chance, some dont. Locked up in that cage, day in and day out, without adequate exercise, eating whatever greasy store brand food is available that day, with other dogs barking incessantly, limited human contact, living in it's own excrement, the list goes on and on. Could these dogs be rehabilitated if adopted? More than likely. so is it fair to the dog to allow it to slowly go mad, wasting away in a cage for weeks, months? Jumping up the wall, pacing, running in circles. These are all symptoms that a dog has reached the end of its tolerance for the situation. A rescue dog from the SPCA Shelter, We're grateful that he can be a ...
