Stop Cruel Animal Mutilations!

The U.S. Army  is once again applying for a permit to cut apart and kill animals in cruel and crude trauma training exercises in the district of Oberpfalz (Bavaria, Germany), even though the Army's first application was withdrawn because of overwhelming public opposition to the plan.   Its' second application was also recently denied because officials said that the animal laboratories would violate Germany's animal protection law, since effective non-animal methods are available for use in the training instead.

Germany's own Armed Forces has written to PETA, stating:  " The armed forces do no animal tests for training purposes.  For training exercises the soldiers learn with really good models and the doctors don't need animal experiments."

The U.S. Army's own Alfred V. Rascon School of Combat Medicine at Fort Campbell does not use animals in its trauma program, stating that "training on simulators is more realistic to providing care for a person than training on animals."

Please help spare animals from these cruel and deadly trauma training exercises by sending polite e-mails to German government officials urging them to continue stopping the U.S. Army from pursuing permits for trauma training in Germany.

Rottweiler Honoured For Stopping Sex Aattacker

PURINA BENEFUL ORIGINAL Top 18 ingredients

The Revolting Reality Of These Ingredients

Ground Yellow Corn  is the entire ground up ear of corn excluding the husk.  90% +/- of Corn is GMO and a major source of allergies. including the cob but without the husk.

Chicken By-Product Meal  Rendered, ground parts of chicken, including heads, eyes, necks, bones, blood, feathers, feet, intestines, undeveloped eggs, beaks, internal organs, may contain disease or contaminated tissue.

Corn Gluten Meal  More difficult to digest, allergy causing dried residue from corn, a cheap filler causing organ damage to kidneys and liver.

Whole Wheat Flour  Another process allergen, dogs are carnivoires and do not naturally eat grains.

Beef Tallow  Rendered cattle are those unfit for human consumption, dead or dying, tallow is created from their fat to add flavor, could include restaurant grease too.

Rice Flour  Highly processed, vitamin free, a filler of starch & gluten, difficult to digest, no nutritional value.

Soy Flour  91% + of all Soy is GMO, causes allergies, hormonal damage, organ damage and we consider is unfit even if organic, it is not a health food.  This poor quality, dangerous filler is from soy bean flakes.

Sugar  More refined junk to be avoided, considered an anti-nutrient.

Animal Digest  Rendered animals of all types, road kills, lab animals, fetal tissues, organis, diseased or slaughtered shelter animals with all of the drugs in them, includes intestines with stool, parasites & bacteria.  Everything is boiled, melted, blended and dumped into cheap dog & cat foods.

Salt  Not nice sea salt, normally a chemical mixture which inludes real salt, and not needed.

Potassium ChlorideUsed to replenish electrolytes, also used in fertilizers and for lethal injections.

And then the ingredients just go downhill from there, more garbage & harmful preservatives.  Where is the nutrition?  Truthly if you buy supermarket dog food, you're contributing to disease, sickness and the early death of your dog.

Did you know that an 85 lb dog, who eats commercial junk kibble, ingests about 50 lbs of artificial preservatives each year?  Is it any surprise that so many dogs suffer from dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health, lack of energy, and degenerative organ dysfunction?

How much does your dog weigh?  Does he eat commercial kibble with artificial preservatives?

Rendered animals including all of the owner surrenders who really, really love their dog, BUT turn them into a shelter anyway end up in cheap dog foods.  The secret has been out since the early 90's and we have a lot of information on our website.

Here are several more videos if you can stomach it.  The point is not to horrify, the message is to only feed your aninmals what you would consider eating yourself.

Clearly there are millions of dead human and animal bodies that must be safely disposed of, but is eating them the best solution?

As a rescue with many senior animals, we've used burial, but that isn't always immediately possible, like when the ground is frozen or covered in several feet of snow.  We've also used cremation, but that's a 80 mile round trip drive and they aren't always available.

After much frustration, thought and research, we turned to a Washington state approved method of animal body disposal.  We compost and return the body's nutrients to the soil, very natural, very clean, no odors, no rats, just very efficient, easy and not stressful.  We have a 10 x 10 dog run that we use (apart from everything) to keep chickens from rooting through the straw and use it for an interm resting area before being returned to the soil, providing nutrients to enrich the soil and complete the circle of life.

On Farm Composting of Livestock Mortalities   Washington State Department of Ecology.  "These guidelines provide the basics of composting large livestock as one possible animal mortality management tool.  Proper composting of other types of livestock is allowed in Washington but is not covered in this guidance document.   The focus is on managing what is considered routine, day-to-day livestock mortalities, and is not suitable for managing mortality due to reportable diseases."   Gosh, they don't advise us to eat them!

Former Junk Food Pres Goes Raw!

Bill Clinton was recently interviewd on CNN and gave details regarding his phenomenal health transformation.  Apparently his heart surgery stint was becoming clogged again and he did not want to repeat the surgery.  It was sheer joy to hear him speak of his conversion to natural foods, and raw at that!  Clinton attributes his loss of weight and restoration of health to a natural plant based diet.  If you haven't already seen    this interview,  it's worth it.

I'm thinking that he may have seen this great McDonald's I Was Lovin' It!  video, or maybe this  Anti McDonald's  video and he made the switch!

We neither breed, board nor sell Rottweilers and are NOT classified as a kennel, but rather as a private charitable rescue sanctuary.  Your donations to us are considered gifts and are not for value received.  All of the Rotties are homed with us, rehabilitated, fed, loved and nourished back to good physical, mental & spriritual health so that they're ready for their exceptional new homes.

Adoptions are by appointment only and after you've been approved for adoption. For protection of the Rottweilers, our sanity and in order to minimize stressful or territorial reactions, all adoption appointments & surrenders are done at our office, or other neutral territory.  Your other indoor dogs are also invited to attend & participate in the selection of your new family member!  Unannounced visitors are not appreciated and will not be accommodated.
