Review Icon James76255 reviewed Adopt from a Shelter! (no pet stores!!) in Animal Rights:
I absolutely agree with this. So much so I am going to steal this forum for a moment to write what is essentially a non review, but something that I hope will do some good.

I've been asked to help find a home for a dog in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. They call him Dan and he is a Great Dane/Rotweiler mix, probably somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. He's a good natured dog, leash trained and house trained, and would best be an inside dog. He has been declawed, nuetered, and is up to date on his shots. I've been told to emphasize HE DOES NOT LIKE CATS. However, there is no indication he wouldn't get along with other dogs.

Dan is at the Horseshoe Bend Animal Control Shelter. They can only keep animals a certain amount of time before they have to be put down and Dan's time is running short. You can email them at sillysetters1@aol.com or call (870) 670-4664. It costs $50 to adopt a dog from this shelter. If you need help you can contact me through this site and I'll pass anything along or do what I can to help.

Horseshoe Bend is about halfway between Little Rock, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee, so if you know anyone in that area that might be interested, pass this along to them.

You can see pictures and a video of Dan here.

This breed is the only cat I have ever owned, and the only kind I ever will. They have all gotten attached to me in the best way possible. It's a real loss when they reach their time and go to kitty heaven. Love this cat!

Review Icon varner reviewed foxes in Animals:
I love fox fox are really sneaky they catch there prey like chickens,rabbits or hare and roosters and sometimes snake,lizards, mice and rats. They have a shiny orange coat with balck and white tips,claw and it can pounce on this prey to. Foxes are used for science fiction tooeven giraffes, bears, horses, snakes, dogs, elephants and birds. They even used in kid storys like the gingerbread man and other various stories even folktales. But the foxes worst enemies are dogs and bloodhound.a bloodhound can track a foxes scent.

Review Icon FranksWildYears reviewed FranksWildYears v. Cottonmouth in Snake stand off--winner take all (Thanks Vic!):
Personally I was hoping I'd draw those funny spring loaded snakes that fly out of the tin of mixed nuts when you take the lid off.

Review Icon Astromike reviewed Astromike v. Python in Snake stand off--winner take all (Thanks Vic!):
Little does the python know that my birthday year (1977) is the "year of the snake" according to the Chinese horoscope, so I will have special powers against him. Plus I have a 9mm handy too so that helps.

Review Icon abichara reviewed Mamba (green and black) in Tough Animals:
Mambas are large, fast, and very poisonous African snakes whose bite is usually fatal. Their venom is neurotoxic and cardiotoxic. It attacks the central nervous system and shuts down the heart and lungs. Certainly not a very pleasant way to die.

A few days ago, a worker from Comcast installing underground cables in an apartment complex relatively close to where I live received a bite from a green mamba. The Fire Department believes that the mamba gave the worker just a warning bite, as opposed to a lethal one. Luckily the man was saved by antivenom on time.

It's still unclear how the dangerous snake, which is still on the loose, was identified. How many Americans could identify a green mamba? Perhaps the cable worker came from a tropical country and knew how the mamba looked like.

Here in Miami, I know that people usually dump their snakes into the Everglades whenever they grow too big and the owners tire of keeping them. It's creating a huge ecological problem out there, where a large breeding population of foreign snakes exist that's killing off native species.

Then you have a unique situation where the Mamba gets on the loose. Who would keep such a poisonous snake as a pet. That's absolutely insane if you ask me!! Try to imagine how it's like to live in a house with a green mamba. Are your bedroom doors tightly shut at night and opened carefully in the morning? Do you check to make sure that the snake is in his container before doing anything else around the house in the morning? Imagine coming home and finding the container empty...

I don't think that having a pet should be so stressful. Leave the Green Mamba in its native habitat!!
