Our Gorgeous Little Friend, Skippy Lim (Auckland, New Zealand)

It is very challenging to try to a picture or portait for a every-moving Jack Russell. I managed to grab the chance to take a photo of Skippy, our dearest family pet during his rare moment of sitting still. I was talking to him while focusing my digital SLR camera on him, asking him "You enjoy your yummy food? Want to take a walk later on?" He responded with his head tilting left and right.

Some exotic dish you might want to try! Snake-bite chicken 'off the menu'

China's health authorities are reported to be putting a stop to restaurants serving chickens which have been bitten to death by poisonous snakes.

The dish, which is served by a small number of restaurants in Guangdong and Chongqing, is billed as detoxing.

But it has generated a storm of controversy in the media and among bloggers after a video of its preparation was circulated online.

The video shows a cook holding a snake and forcing it to bite a live chicken.

A week of intense internet discussion has reached the near-unanimous decision that it is cruel to kill live chickens by forcing deadly snakes to bite them repeatedly.

Some voices noted, however, that they found the cooked dish delicious.

"It's disgusting and really cruel," read one post on the popular portal sina.com.cn.

"Not only is it cruel and blood-thirsty, but totally amoral," the Chongqing Business Daily cited a neighbour to one of the restaurants as saying.

"Although nobody has been poisoned, this at the very least is an irregular way of slaughtering poultry," the business newspaper quoted a local health official as saying.

According to Reuters news agency, health authorities in Guangdong have already told restaurants to stop serving "poisonous snake-bitten chicken". It said officials in Chongqing had joined the ban.

Restaurants in China have long specialised in exotic dishes which have provoked condemnation from animal rights activists and health watchdogs - such as monkey brains scooped from a live animal, civet cat and deer foetus soup.

Sodomizing a Sheep Doesn’t Put Perp on Michigan Sex Offender List

September 25, 2008--Despite a trend toward recognizing limited animal rights on the estate planning front, a Michigan appeals court has taken a traditional view of the law concerning a man convicted of sodomizing a sheep.

Jeffrey Scott Haynes, 45, a habitual offender who is serving a 2½- to 20-year prison term for sodomy will not have to register as a sex offender once he is released. That's because the victim of what a three-judge panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals described as his "abominable and detestable crime against nature" doesn't qualify as a "individual" under state law, reports the Detroit Free Press. The court said the sheep was the "object" of Haynes' crime, but held that he would have had to commit a crime against a human being to qualify for the sex offender registry, according to the newspaper.

The prosecution had persuaded the trial court that Haynes should be required to register, and John Hallacy, the Calhoun County prosecutor, said yesterday that the "the activity involved exemplifies a dangerous and deviant behavior that ought to fall under the registry requirements."

Although Haynes has previously been convicted of home invasion, forgery and uttering and publishing, he apparently doesn't have any prior sex convictions. He was reportedly convicted of sodomizing the sheep based on DNA evidence after a Bedford Township farmer found him trespassing several years ago and noticed an injured sheep.

Serial Animal Molester Gets . . . Only 33 Months In Jail?

Prosecutor Find “Sentence Appropriate”

Animal sex offender gets prison

May 13, 2009

A Hobart man who twice served time for killing animals now will spend nearly three years in federal prison for downloading images of people having sex with animals. Michael Bessigano likely will serve his sentence in a Boston-area facility for male offenders with mental problems.

U.S. Judge Philip Simon on Tuesday sentenced Bessigano to 33 months in prison and three years of supervised release, a term at the low end of federal guidelines. Simon two weeks ago threw out a plea agreement that would have seen Bessigano serve only 24 months, stating that Bessigano’s history did not seem to make him a candidate for a below-guidelines sentence.

So, in other words the judge didn’t want him to get a too-lenient sentence, just a lenient sentence. Peachy. That’s sure looking out for the people of Northwest Indiana.

Simon has asked the federal bureau of prisons to place Bessigano at Federal Medical Center Devens, and also that Bessigano participate in therapy for sex offenders.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bernard Van Wormer said the sentence was appropriate for Bessigano, who served time prison for killing a neighbor’s rottweiler in St. John Township in 1993, and was jailed again in 2001 for killing a chicken, and having sex with it. Bessigano was arrested in June 2008 after federal agents found images of bestiality on his computer hard drive after Bessigano’s state parole officers requested a search.

NZ dog awarded posthumous honour (Aukland, New Zealand, GDI)

George was hailed as a "brilliant little dog" by his owner. A dog which died protecting a group of children from two pitbull terriers in New Zealand has been given the highest honour for animals. George, a Jack Russell from Manaia, in Taranaki on New Zealand's North Island, fended off the two dogs, allowing the children to escape. But he was badly hurt in the April 2007 incident and had to be put down. His owner, Alan Gay, was presented with the PDSA gold medal by New Zealand's Governor-General Anand Satyanand. Mr Gay paid tribute to his pet. "He was a brilliant little dog, intelligent. You couldn't insult him. I'd call him 'dipstick' and he wouldn't have anything to do with me," he told TVNZ. George is the first dog from New Zealand to receive the honour, which is the equivalent of the Commonwealth's highest civilian honour, the George Cross.

Man charged with trespassing on farm in horse-sex death,

Wednesday, October 19, 2005. SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF

A truck driver identified in court papers as taking part in an incident in which a friend died after having sex with a horse on an Enumclaw farm was charged Tuesday with having trespassed on the farm.

Though police reports indicate that James Michael Tait of Enumclaw admitted joining the friend and another acquaintance for repeated acts of sex with horses at the Enumclaw farm, prosecutors said he couldn't be charged with animal cruelty because no evidence was found of any physical injury to any of the horses involved.

Tait can't be charged with bestiality. Washington is one of 17 states that permit bestiality.

Police say Tait, 54, was videotaping his friend having sex with a horse in July when his friend "received the injuries that ultimately led to his death."

Tait told police that he, the Seattle man who died and another man repeatedly had sneaked onto his neighbor's farm in the middle of the night, without permission, to engage in animal sex.

The third man was not charged, prosecutors say, because they couldn't find sufficient evidence placing him in the barn during the night in question.

The case was filed in the Southwest Division of King County District Court. If convicted, Tait faces a maximum one-year jail sentence. He will be arraigned during the week of Oct. 31, prosecutors say.

According to Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff's Office, the charge against Tait ends the inquiry.

"Nobody else is under any more investigation," he said, including the owners of the farm.

Urquhart said the Sheriff's Office believes sex with animals is not happening any more at the farm.

Alien-Like Being Born From A Cow In Thailand

This dead alien-like being found in a small town in Thailand was claimed to be born from a cow and seems at first to be a severe case of birth malformation defect. A closer examination however reveal that the alien being resembles too much of a human baby with its front legs looking more like hands than feet.

In the form of a ritual, the local residents pour baby powder onto the dead body and burnt incense in their belief of cleansing the area of evil and hopeful that it will be reincarnated peacefully. More pictures below and you can click on the picture for larger view.
