Protect your Family & Your Pets
Flea Control
Flea control is important if you live in an area that is commonly inhabited by the pests. As fleas of all types can transmit diseases to those they feed upon, you should take steps to prevent them from biting you or entering your home. Fortunately, through use of products like Advantage and Front Line for your pets and the application of natural herbs around your home, you can prevent fleas from bothering you.
The most common, and first defense you have against fleas is through your pets. Advantage, Front Line and other anti-flea medications prevent fleas from biting your pets. In addition to this, if a flea does bite your pet, it prevents them from living long enough to breed and create more fleas. Essentially, this transforms your pet into a walking flea killer. Killing fleas are an integral part of flea control.Making use of natural flea repellents, such as Pennyroyal, can greatly decrease the number of fleas that enter you home. Applied properly, they will cause no harm to pets or curious children, and do not leave any poisonous residues. Pennyroyal, as well as other natural alternatives, can be a cost effective flea control method within the home.
If you already have a flea infestation in your home, flea control methods will not be enough to remove the pests. You may have to take more aggressive means, such as through flea foggers. Unlike other methods of flea control, flea foggers expel dangerous chemicals into a room to kill any and all fleas that live in the area. However, this method of flea control is more risky, and requires preparations.
There are several key aspects to flea control that you should keep in mind. First, fleas are capable of traveling long distances in short periods of time. If you need to resort to using flea foggers or other chemicals to remove fleas, you need to make certain you cut off all of their escape routes. If you have fleas in one room, chances are you have fleas in all rooms of your home. If you intend on using flea foggers, it is strongly suggested you systematically do your entire home.
Flea control is a long term effort. You need to make certain you protect against fleas during the entire season, which usually lasts from April to December. If you have outdoor pets, you will have to take extra care against fleas and other outdoor pests.

Oprah Winfrey calls for an end to puppy mills.
Oprah Winfrey recently did an expose on puppy mills in the USA and I was astonished to find out that that there are so many in that country. A puppy or kitten mill is usually a "backyard breeder who breeds hundreds of puppies or kittens every year solely to make money. Unfortunately we also have such unscrupulous breeders in SA. The public should be warned nor to buy from such individuals as they seldom have the welfare and interest of the breed or animal at heart.

LETTER OF THE MONTH
A CALL TO END CRUELTY
Your recent editor,s note about cruelty to animals refers. I have also been thinking about the reasons why some people are cruel and throughout history it has been showed that humankind has always had the tendency to be cruel and un-humane to animals. This I think is due to the fact that they are defenseless. There are many people in SA today who do not have jobs and therefore nothing else to do!
Through the centuries much cruelty took place -- people killed animals with no regard for the animal's welfare, it reminds me of a cruel and barbaric practice called "pate' de foie gras' that still persists in the world today whereby geese are force fed to the point of death at which point the liver is removed and prepared into a paste or spread. Another recent example of man's cruelty to animals is where horses were used in warfare and whose bodies lay strewn across many battlefields and what about the many laboratory animals that die horrible deaths in their service to fickle man.
I think that in every human being there is that something that can trigger cruelty. Please let us stop the cruelty and lead our youth, the leaders of tomorrow to an animal friendly and caring consciousness.

Saving Our Furry Friends through Pet Adoptions
Did you know that in pet adoptions centers, animals have an expiration date? The staff of animal shelters put animals to sleep after a specified duration of time, if they don’t get adopted. We really can’t blame the shelters for this; it is a legal though upsetting procedure they have to carry out.
There are a few reasons why animals must be put to sleep when no one adopts them:
* One of the most common problems in animal shelters is the lack of space. Stray or abandoned animals are sheltered for a specific number of days before they can be put into an adoption program or, sadly, put to sleep. This gives the owners of the animals ample time to find and reclaim their furry friends. Remember that during the holding period of an animal, newer ones are continually being brought to the animal shelter.
* Not all of the animals brought to animal shelters are in good health and adoptable condition. Sometimes an animal is brought in that’s unwell and mentally unstable. Should the animal shelter’s staff deem the animal unfit to be helped or adopted, it is put to sleep right away.
* In some cases, an animal that has been in the animal shelter for too long may exhibit signs of stress. Behaviors such as agitation, anxiety, depression and aggression begin to appear, which is not typical for the animal. In the long run, if the animal does not get adopted, it becomes so mentally unsound that the staff of the animal shelter has to put it to sleep.
The pros of adopting from shelters:
The best way to prevent these animals in shelters from being put to sleep is by adopting them. Whether you are planning to own a dog, cat, ferrets or any other animal, you are not only saving their lives but you are also getting a loyal companion for yourself.
What makes adopting an animal from an animal shelter better, is that you will know exactly what you will be taking home with you. Our furry friends in animal shelters have been examined by veterinarians. This means that the animal you’ll be getting is up to date with its shots, and its medical condition is properly looked over. Animal shelters usually charge a fee for adoption, but it’s still a lot cheaper than buying a new one from pet stores. The degree of care and the service they had provided for the animal before you took over ownership is a completely unknown factor to you.
Taking your time in picking one:
Be sure to take your time looking around and choosing the healthiest looking animal you can find in the animal shelter. Look for one with ears and nose that are clean and free of mucous. The eyes should be bright and clear. Carefully inspect its coat and skin; look carefully for signs sores, bald spots or skin diseases. Also check the way they walk – they should not be limping, which gives away skeletal problems such as deformities and fractures.
Adopting an animal from pet adoptions centers means that you are willing to bestow time and dedication in taking care of your new furry friend. Remember that you will have other expenses besides the adoption charge itself. But all these are a small price to pay for saving the life of an animal and earning a loyal companion for the rest of its natural life.
