Fragile fish, meant to live freely in spacious waters, suffer miserably when forced to spend their lives enclosed in glass aquariums. Robbed of their natural habitat, denied the space to roam, they're forced to swim in endless repetitive circles around the same empty cubic inches.
If you already have fish, you can make their lives easier by providing them with an environment that is as much like their natural habitat as possible. The following tips will help ensure that they are as happy as possible:
* The more space that fish have, the happier and healthier they will be.
* Treat tap water properly before putting it in the aquarium, as most municipal water has chlorine in it, which can kill fish.
* A filter to remove waste particles and noxious chemicals from the water is essential. Live plants help with this task and provide oxygen, shelter, hiding places, and the occasional snack.
* Fish need a constant temperature, generally between 68°F and 76°F. Automatic aquarium heaters monitor the water temperature and turn the heater on and off as needed.
* The natural waste of fish emits ammonia, which can accumulate to toxic levels, so clean the tank regularly, but never empty the tank completely. Be sure to clean the glass well with a pad or a brush to prevent algae growth.
* Create places for the fish to hide in and explore. Ceramic objects, natural rocks, and plants work well. Make sure that all objects are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before they are put into the tank. Do not use metal objects, as they will rust.
* Be aware of the environment outside the aquarium. Suddenly switching on a bright light in a dark room can startle fish, and vibrations from a television or a stereo can alarm and stress them.
* Keep all harmful chemicals away from the aquarium. Cigarette smoke, paint fumes, and aerosol sprays can be toxic if they are absorbed into the water.
* Don’t overfeed! Uneaten food and waste material are broken down into ammonia and nitrites, which are toxic.

Caged prisoners!!!
There is no such animal as a “cage bird.” All caged birds were either captured or captive-bred. No bird was born to be in a cage. In the wild, these beautiful beings are never alone, and if they are separated for even a moment, they call wildly to their flockmates. Many bird species mate for life and share parenting tasks.
Unfortunately, the brilliant colors, speech capabilities, and intelligence of these animals has made them the third-most popular animal companion, with an estimated 10 million birds confined to cages in homes across the country. As a result, many birds do not get the mental stimulation or companionship that they need, and normal bird behaviors—such as flock-calling, biting, chewing, and throwing food—are often unwelcome to unprepared human guardians. The result may be abandoned or isolated birds...
Most birds live in small cages, surrounded by the frightening sounds of many unfamiliar birds. A bird who cannot choose his or her own mate may become depressed, especially if separated from a previous partner. Birds forced to live in small quarters with a “mate” who is not of their choosing may also become aggressive. The frustration and confusion that they experience after being thrust into a cramped environment with a “stranger” is often displayed as “mate aggression,” in which the male mutilates or even kills his female companion.
Birds are meant to fly and be with others of their own kind. Considering that some parrots fly 30 miles per day in the wild, it’s no wonder that confinement can cause birds to have temper tantrums and mood swings.
Hand-raised birds crave affection and companionship, human or nonhuman, and sometimes do not like to let their human companions out of their sight. They don’t understand the separation that occurs when their human companions out of their sight. They don’t understand the separation that occurs when their humans go to work or, worse, on vacation. These fears can compromise birds’ immune systems, and they may succumb to sickness or death.
MUHAMMAD AND THE ANIMALS
I recently had a few fights with some people regarding the religion Islam and its treatment of animals that led me to look further into what the Quran really tells about animals and this is the shocking details that i found..
Muslim, Book 026, Number 5562:
'Amir b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) commanded the killing of geckos, and he called them little noxious creatures.
Muslim Book 026, Number 5564:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who killed a gecko with the first stroke for him is such and such a reward, and he who killed it with a second stroke for him is such and such reward less than the first one, and he who killed it with the third stroke for him is such and such a reward less than the second one.
CAMEL URINE – MUHAMMAD’S MEDICINE???
Bukhari 8.794:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterized, till they die.
DOGS AND ANGELS
Bukhari 4.539:
Narrated Abu Talha:
The Prophet said, "Angels do not enter a house witch has either a dog or a picture in it."
KILL ALL THE DOGS!
Muslim, Book 010, Number 3813:
Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) saying: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered us to kill dogs, and we carried out this order so much so that we also kill the dog coming with a woman from the desert. Then Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) forbade their killing. He (the Holy Prophet further) said: It is your duty the jet-black (dog) having two spots (on the eyes), for it is a devil.
There are more superstitious references to various animals in Islamic theology...
There are no intelligent or logical foundations supporting Muhammad’s beliefs, rather they go against modern medicine, modern science, and practical experience. Muhammad’s order is a blight, not a blessing. Muhammad’s superstitious belief, coupled with his brutality, bring out the worst in men.

The Chinese Year of the Dog..
It is really atrocious to see how the Chinese treat their animals...I happend to come across an article by Kim Cooling a few days ago... this is what she has to say about it...
The hatchet used for gutting was hung dripping with blood on the cage containing the live dogs. It seemed all effort was made to terrorise the dogs awaiting their horrendous slaughter and to ensure the animals died a long and agonising death.As I stood there filming I suddenly realised that pools of blood had formed around my feet from the slaughtered dogs. I could not bear to see any more, especially the brutal death of that little terrier and I left the market in floods of tears. But my tears will not help these animals ... only actions do that.
These dogs were being killed for their meat. A thriving trade where huge dogs farms have developed in China. The dog meat trade has become more industrialised, even promoted by the government in some provinces.It is estimated that between 10-20 million dogs are killed slowly and violently every year in China, just like the ones I witnessed. Vacuum packed canned dog food is increasingly sold in supermarkets and brutal slaughter methods are openly promoted in books and VCD's about dog farming. Four million cats are also consumed and killed every year in equally barbaric ways. China is the biggest dog and cat eating nation in the world. China is also the world's biggest fur trade production and processing base in the world. Up to 2 million dogs and cats are skinned, many while still alive, in China every year. 85% of fur products are imported from China, most flooding into Europe where there is still no Europe-wide ban. Many of these animals are farmed, so their brutal deaths end a life of unimaginable suffering and cruelty at the hands of people who are driven by greed and devoid of compassion through sheer uneducated ignorance. Improving animal welfare in China is the greatest challenge of all and although animal welfare groups talk about progress being made, animals are still being skinned alive and tortured in markets and elsewhere in greater numbers than ever before.
The Chinese have no incentives to change. Dog and cat fur is still being imported into Europe, as are Chinese products which flood our markets and are boosting China's awesome economic growth. The country is hosting the next Olympics in Beijing in 2008. They are preparing for this by cleansing the streets of any dogs they see, not only in Beijing but also Guilin. Needless to say they are doing this in the most brutal fashion. So what can be done? I made a pledge to those gentle dogs in that market in Guangxi Province, to do all I can to highlight their suffering - the brutal treatment of companion animals in a country emerging as the world's next super power.My tears will not help them, but pressure on the Chinese government, leading up to the Beijing Olympics, offers the only hope for these poor souls. The evidence of these dogs plight will I hope, move others to help me to help them.
I thought I had witnessed enough suffering and pain that we inflict on animals to last me a lifetime, until I recently visited a small-town market in the Guangxi Province of China. In this market I saw first hand the most horrific abuse of man's best friend imaginable.Live dogs were crammed in rows towards the back of the market along with the usual overfilled cages of live poultry. The dogs were silent, some frozen in terror, others simply resigned to their fate. Most of the dogs were the traditional and 'tastiest' yellow variety like my own dog Rama, rescued from Thailand in 1998. However, there were others, including a scruffy little mongrel/terrier cross who looked like a stolen pet. I went up to comfort them. But as selfless as dogs are, they probably comforted me more because they are gentle and trusting. But this is a trust so cruelly betrayed by those with whom they form the closest and most intimate bond - us humans...
So as they awaited their brutal demise, they gently licked my hands ... forever faithful, till the end. Most of the animals were young. One noticeably older and remarkably calm looking dog with sad doleful eyes appeared to be comforting another by tenderly licking her ears.Then, as I watched in horror, dogs were brutally lifted by the neck by their torturers, wielding metal tongs. The dogs were stabbed in the neck, some had wire placed round their necks to slowly choke them as they were bled. They were then suspended upside down by their hind legs, from the same cages where their companions were held, who could only watch in terror as the blood flowed from the suspended animals into a bucket placed below their heads.
My first instinct was to try to save some of these poor animals, but with nowhere to take them and more and more baskets crammed full of dogs entering the market quicker than they were killing them, I realised that the only thing I could do was to try to film their treatment.The dogs were suspended for some time still alive and making gurgling noises as they were fighting to breathe. After being bled, they were hoisted down and thrown into a large drum of boiling water. The dogs were still alive, one was thrashing violently around as it hit the water. After being boiled alive, the dogs had their fur scraped off their bodies, they were gutted and then blow torched to caramelize / preserve their meat. The dogs were then hung on large hooks in full view of the live dogs in the cages and baskets, or placed directly on top of the cages with the live dogs. Their guts were placed in plastic bags and attached to their legs
The people killing the dogs were chatting, laughing, eating noodles and boiling the animals like vegetables. A poor goat, tethered to the ground nearby, could see the slaughter of the dogs. The goat was defecating and urinating in fear as it lay helplessly in the blood and guts of the dogs.

Please ban the slaughter of cows!!!!!!!
On our Birth our mother breast fed us for a period of time. Then for the rest of our life we are fed by cows, without even feeding their calves. After squeezing out even the last drop of its milk, humans slaughter it for its meat.The animals agonies start long before they are dead. They are brought in trucks, from far away distances. For economy, 20-25 huge buffalos are stacked up in each truck. Nobody cares to feed them food, or even water while in transit. They are packed so tightly in the truck, that they are hurt by each other. By the time they arrive, they are no more capable of standing on their own feet. Their tails are cut and chilli powder is rubbed into their eyes to make them move.They are brought into the final ground, where at least a thousand animals are stored. This is their last open air. They are kept here for four days, hungry and thirsty. Then their legs are broken and eyes poked, so that a 'certificate' can be obtained about their uselessness. The hunger and thirst of four days cause the hemoglobin to move from blood in to fat. The meat with higher hemoglobin fetches better prices.Now these animals are pushed into washing showers. Extremely hot water (200 degrees!) is sprayed on them for five minutes, to soften their skins, so they will be easy to remove. The animal faints at this point, but it is not dead yet.Now it is hung upside down with one leg, on a chain-pulley conveyor. Then half of the neck is slit. This drains the blood, but does not kill the animal. After death, the skin swells thick, which sells for a poor price. But the skin of a live animal is still thin, which has better economic value. On one side the blood is dripping from the neck, and on the other side a hole is made in stomach, from which air is pumped inside. This causes the body to swell, making it easier to peel the skin. After removing the leather, the animal is cut into four pieces: head, legs, body, and tail. The machines remove bones, and pack small pieces of meat into cans for shipping.

When You See Cruelty To Stray Animals
Whenever you see a dog / cow being hit or stoned, be sure to inform the offender of the law. Should they persist, register an FIR against them at the closest police station. Do not be discouraged if the police do not, at first, take you seriously. In most cases they too do not know the animal protection laws. Be polite but firm. You will be doing a double service, punishing cruelty to a helpless animal, as well as educating the police on the animal protection laws. If the municipality in your area is still killing homeless dogs, get an appointment with the Municipal Commissioner. Inform him that it has been proven that killing dogs does not reduce either their number or the incidence of bites / rabies therefore the Courts have ruled that it is illegal to kill animals simply for being homeless. Instead the Animal Welfare Board of India has evolved a set of guidelines for all municipalities directing the implementation of the Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme. If there is an animal welfare organisation in the area, approach it to take up the ABC programme , if not, the municipality can do it on its own. Should the municipality not agree to stop killing, contact a lawyer and file a case under the PCA Act 1960. In the meantime, write letters to the press and encourage others to do so too. Protect the dogs in your own area by putting collars on them. If the municipality is rounding up stray dogs and abandoning them outside city limits, it is illegal under Section 11 PCA as it places them in circumstances likely to cause their death from starvation and thirst. Therefore, you can challenge this cruelty in court.
When you find cows on the street or tethered on public pavements, see if you can see any brand on them. Ask around to see if anyone knows their owner or the dairy to which they belong. Inform the owner that it is illegal to leave cows loose. If the owner does not have place to keep the cows properly or the means to feed them, file a complaint with the municipality asking that the cows be sent to a gaushala. Should you see cows with burn marks, usually on their rumps, around a particular fruit / vegetable market, it is probable that the vegetable sellers throw acid on the animals to drive them away from their stalls. If there is a market association, approach the head and inform him of the law (IPC Section 428/429). Request that all vegetable vendors be warned against this practice. Inform the police station in the area to keep an eye out for such violations. When you see an animal knocked over by a vehicle, get the number of the vehicle. Check the animal for signs of life. If possible, move it to safety and administer life saving first aid. If you can take it to a vet yourself, do so. If not, call an animal welfare organisation that has an ambulance. Once the animal is taken care of, file a complaint against the offender with the closest police station (IPC Section 428/429). If you know of any research institute that is using animals, ask from where the animals have been procured. If you suspect that the animals have been taken from the street or a pound, contact Chairperson, CPCSEA, A-4 Maharani Bagh, New Delhi-65. In the meantime file a case with the police.
It is illegal to put out poisoned food as these pose a public health hazard. (Section 11 PCA) . This means poisoning dogs, cows or any other stray animal. Transport any animal in any manner that will cause it unnecessary suffering. This includes loading cows into trucks without ramps and overcrowding the vehicle, tying up pigs and carrying them on cycles and so on (Section 11 PCA) . All violations of Section 11 are punishable with a fine of Rs 100 and / or upto 3 months in jail. It is illegal to kill homeless animals. Citizens may only report any nuisance to the Municipal authorities. The Municipality is required to maintain an animal pound for animals that it picks up. Previously, municipalities would kill these animals (mainly dogs) in a variety of brutal ways such as electrocution, starvation, burying alive and so on. After 1992, it became illegal for municipalities to kill stray dogs. The High Courts of Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Mumbai, and several other states have specifically forbidden the killing of stray dogs and directed the municipality to introduce a sensible sterilisation programme instead. The Animal Welfare Board of India has laid down a code of conduct for municipalities to follow with regard to stray dogs. Failure to do so can invite contempt of court proceedings. Section 428/429 of the Indian Penal Code makes it a cognisable offence to maim or cause injury to any animal above the value of RS 10/-. This makes it illegal to throw acid on cows (something that vegetable sellers do as a matter of routine). It also makes it illegal for cars to injure or kill dogs / cats / cows on the street. Offenders can be reported to the police station and a case filed under this section. Punishment is a fine of Indian Rs 2000 / and / or jail upto 5 years.
