Oddly Enough - Reuters
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A woman in New Zealand says she is breastfeeding her pet puppy because she wants it to protect her baby daughter as they both grow up.
Kura Tumanako told the NZPA news agency Wednesday that she had started breastfeeding the Staffordshire bull terrier pup after her baby stopped taking her milk.
"I didn't want to waste it so I gave it to Honey Boy," she said.
According to NZPA, Tumanako said she had fed the dog twice a day for the past week but would probably wean it off in about six weeks' time. Her baby, now 2 months old, is on bottled milk.
"I wanted to raise it (the pup) with my baby," she said. "I wanted to bring it up with a baby. It will protect her as they grow up," said Tumanako, who lives in Hastings in New Zealand's North Island.
"He drinks more than the baby. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little bit ticklish."


ok, she can tell you whatever she wants but i think she might be enjoying this a little too much. maybe i'm wrong. maybe all new mothers start to breastfeed the dog when the child quits taking their milk. makes you wonder what other jobs "honey boy" is going to do as he gets bigger. daddy not interested in sex tonight.............heeeeerrrreeeeeee boy.

2004-11-10 11:06:00Cat rapes woman after performing oral sex on her Two women attempted to experience sexual pleasure from an intimate contact with a cat. The weird endeavor ended rather sad for one of the women: she was hospitalized with severe genital injuries. Doctors arrived to hospitalize a woman, who had suffered from unexpected bleeding, as they were told on the phone. They saw a woman lying on the sofa. The woman was wearing only a jumper. Streaks of blood could be seen on her legs. The woman's friend was speechless to explain what happened. The woman was taken to the gynecological department of the local hospital, where doctors determined the unusual character of the genital injuries. Stitching the wounds, they supposed that a sex maniac had attacked the woman and injured her in the crotch. The truth, however, surpassed all expectations. When the woman recovered, she confessed that she had been injured during her love act with a cat. The woman's name was Svetlana. Her husband, an entrepreneur, was constantly away on business trips. That day he was out of town too. Svetlana was bored and she decided to visit her friend, Vera. The two women had some wine and started talking about intimate matters. Vera was the first, who suggested trying something totally unusual: "Do you wanna try the real thing?" asked she. When Vera clarified, what the real thing was about, Svetlana was terrified. However, the idea seemed to be attractive to her after the women talked about it and had some more wine. "Life is too short, one has to try everything!" Svetlana decided. Vera brought in a cat. The cat named as Timka was living in the house for quite a long time. Vera took her clothes off, put the light out and played an adult movie on the video recorder. She lied down, took a bottle of valerian and poured some on her most intimate body part. When the cat smelled valerian, he started licking it away, putting Vera in the state of ecstasy. "Now it is your turn, you try," Vera told Svetlana when she was done. "You know, my friend, there is nothing better than the cat's little tongue," said she. When the cat started licking valerian off from Svetlana, something happened to the animal. Timka probably took too much of the medication: he started licking the liquid away but all of a sudden he seized the genitals of the poor woman with his claws and teeth. Svetlana screamed and tried to push the fierce pet lover away from her, but the cat wouldn't let go. Vera hurried to help her friend: she emptied a bucket of water on the cat and threw the animal out of the house. When she saw that Svetlana was bleeding, she called an ambulance. When Svetlana returned home from the hospital, she had to tell the story to her husband, Boris. The man could not take the fact that his wife preferred having oral sex with a cat: Boris kicked Svetlana out of the house and the abandoned woman had to stay with her mother. The offended man is not going to forgive his wife: the couple is currently divorcing. It is noteworthy that lonely women often use their pets (cats or dogs, regardless of sex) to satisfy their sexual needs. Such pet adventures often lead to lamentable consequences - not for pets, but for orgasm-craving women, as a rule. An overdose of valerian can make the loveliest cat become a fierce and aggressive animal.



this is the logical progression from breastfeeding your pets. i thought cats liked tuna. once more i stand corrected. how bad does your vagina smell to make a cat attack you.

PETA Suit Says Cows Are Unhappy
New York LawyerNovember 17, 2004
By Mike McKeeThe Recorder
An animal rights group took exception to California's popular "Happy Cows" campaign Tuesday, calling it false advertising during arguments in a San Francisco appellate court.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Inc. accused the California Milk Advisory Board of violating the state's unfair competition law by portraying an idyllic lifestyle for California dairy cows while knowing they endure a "harsh, uncomfortable and often painful existence."
"The state is advertising falsely," Matthew Penzer, legal counsel for Norfolk, Va.-based PETA, argued in court. "And that kind of advertising is prohibited."
First District Court of Appeal Justices Ignazio Ruvolo, J. Anthony Kline and Paul Haerle were all business in addressing PETA's claims that the state-supervised milk board is violating Business and Professions Code §17200. The justices grilled both sides hard. The key question for the court was not whether the ads were false but whether the milk board was subject to the unfair competition law.
The ubiquitous ads portray dairy cows in bucolic bliss on sunny green pastures lined with white picket fences, enjoying earthquake hoof massages and recounting horrific Midwestern winters. The TV ads end with an announcer proclaiming: "Great cheese comes from happy cows; happy cows come from California."
PETA contends that the ads have no basis in reality -- that California cows live in feces-soaked dirt lots devoid of vegetation and are kept pregnant almost their entire adult lives. The cows suffer from an assortment of diseases caused by intensive rearing, they say, and their calves are packed in veal crates or slaughtered.


memo to peta: please shut up. dont waste valuable court time with this bullshit. go back to throwing blood on old women wearing fur. we eat them because they would eat us if they could. their calves are cute.........and delicious.

PETA Campaign Pitches Fish As Smart
Tue Nov 16, 4:05 PM ET
By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer
NEW YORK - Touting tofu chowder and vegetarian sushi as alternatives, animal-rights activists have launched a novel campaign arguing that fish — contrary to stereotype — are intelligent, sensitive animals no more deserving of being eaten than a pet dog or cat.
Called the Fish Empathy Project, the campaign reflects a strategy shift by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as it challenges a diet component widely viewed as nutritious and uncontroversial.
"No one would ever put a hook through a dog's or cat's mouth," said Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director of vegan outreach. "Once people start to understand that fish, although they come in different packaging, are just as intelligent, they'll stop eating them."
The campaign is in its infancy and will face broad skepticism. Major groups such as the American Heart Association recommend fish as part of a healthy diet; some academics say it is wrong to portray the intelligence and pain sensitivity of fish as comparable to mammals.
"Fish are very complex organisms that do all sorts of fascinating things," said University of Wyoming neuroscientist James Rose. "But to suggest they know they what's happening to them and worry about it, that's just not the case."
PETA, headquartered in Norfolk, Va., has campaigned for years against sport fishing, challenging claims by Rose and others that fish caught by anglers do not feel pain. PETA also has joined other critics in decrying the high levels of mercury or other toxins in many fish and the pollution discharged by many fish farms.
The Empathy Project is a departure in two respects — attempting to depict the standard practices of commercial fishing as cruel and seeking to convince consumers that there are ethical reasons for not eating fish.
"Fish are so misunderstood because they're so far removed from our daily lives," said Karin Robertson, 24, the Empathy Project manager and daughter of an Indiana fisheries biologist. "They're such interesting, fascinating individuals, yet they're so incredibly abused."
The project was inspired by several recent scientific studies — widely reported in Britain but little-noticed in the United States — detailing facets of fish intelligence.
Oxford University researcher Theresa Burt de Perera, for example, reported that the blind Mexican cave fish is able to interpret water pressure changes to construct a detailed mental map of its surroundings.
"Most people dismiss fish as dimwitted pea-brains. ... Yet this is a great fallacy," wrote University of Edinburgh biologist Culum Brown in the June edition of New Scientist. "In many areas, such as memory, their cognitive powers match or exceed those of 'higher' vertebrates, including non-human primates."
Chris Glass of the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Massachusetts led another recent study, showing how North Sea haddock developed abilities to avoid trawlers' nets.
"There's no doubt that fish of all shapes and forms are capable of learning fairly complex tasks," Glass said. "They can learn from their environment and experience."
Yet Glass declined to endorse the don't-eat-fish appeals.
"We don't want to be caught between warring factions," he said. "We're interested in helping the fisheries industry do a responsible job."
To press their argument, PETA activists plan demonstrations starting next month at selected seafood restaurants nationwide. PETA also will urge changes in commercial fishing practices, for example proposing that trawler crews stun fish before cutting them up.
Friedrich questioned why there is popular support for sparing marine mammals — dolphins and porpoises — yet minimal concern for species like tuna, "whose suffering would warrant felony animal cruelty charges if they were mammals."
Fish-welfare rules would be a new realm for U.S. commercial fishermen. The National Fisheries Institute, which represents them, has pledged to help sustain fish stocks but its members have never faced cruelty regulations regarding their catch.
"It's irresponsible to discourage people from eating fish at a time when doctors and dietitians advise eating it twice a week," said institute president John Connelly. "If anything, we should be eating more fish."
Friedrich acknowledges the difficulty of changing long-held customs, but thinks his project is worthwhile. "We'd rather go too far than not far enough," he said.


peta once again. i hate the fact that they think they can speak for me. who says i wouldnt eat a cat or dog. as for putting a hook through a cat or dogs mouth......well thats just crazy. if you did that they would just come right off the hook as soon as you cast. best to put the hook through the meaty part of the thigh. that way they dont come off before the big fish take them. oh, and i want more dolphin in my tuna.

Duke study says sex life sags with obesity
BY JIM SHAMP : The Herald-Sunjshamp@heraldsun.comNov 15, 2004 : 9:21 pm ET
DURHAM -- Size matters -- but Duke University Medical Center researchers can't pinpoint yet why obese people in their preliminary study reported sexual problems as much as 25 times more than people who aren't obese.
The finding showed "striking difference in sexual quality of life between obese and normal-weight people," said study co-investigator Martin Binks, a clinical psychologist and director of behavioral health at the Duke Diet & Fitness Center.
Binks and a co-investigator, consulting psychologist Ronette Kolotkin, presented their data Monday during the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity in Las Vegas.
Binks said the clinicians, who specialize in helping people with obesity, had noticed many reports of unsatisfactory sex lives among clients. "Body image issues seemed to contribute at a clinical level," he said. "But when we went looking for research in this area, we found it's very sparse."
So the researchers mined the data Kolotkin collected during the late 1990s from a 31-item questionnaire, "Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite," which asks about aspects of weight-related quality of life, including sex. Kolotkin formerly held Binks' job at the Duke diet and fitness facility before entering private practice, although she still consults there.
The 1,210 volunteers were surveyed about the general quality of their sexual life and their enjoyment of sexual activity, sexual desire, difficulty with sexual performance and avoidance of sexual encounters.
Almost two-thirds seeking obesity treatment reported impairments in at least one of those four specific areas, compared to only 5 percent of normal weight people, the study found.
Kolotkin and Binks also found that obese people had reported far less sexual desire and enjoyment than normal weight people. Obese people tended to avoid sex and reported far more performance problems, the analysis found, and although women had more problems than men in both weight groups, the gender differences were minor.
"We know that things like diabetes and hypertension are considered co-morbidities to obesity," Binks said. "But some obese people are also suffering from quality-of-life issues and may think they're alone in that. But the important information here is, according to our data, it is a common occurrence among people who are obese."
Additionally, the Duke researchers questioned obese people who were not seeking weight loss treatment. Of those, 41 percent reported experiencing sexual impairment.
Slightly more than 500 study participants were drawn from the Duke Diet & Fitness Center, while the remainder were recruited from the community. The average body mass index (BMI) of the obese groups was 41 for the obesity treatment seekers and 40 for the non-obesity treatment seekers. The normal weight group had an average BMI of 22.
BMI is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight, and obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or greater.
The average age was 48 for treatment seekers, 45 for non-treatment seekers and 35 for normal weight people. The balance between men and women varied, but about 53 percent of the obese treatment seekers were women, rising to 67 percent in the obese non-treatment group and 71 percent in the normal weight group.
Meanwhile, the biggest difference was that only 2 percent of the normal weight group reported sometimes, usually or always feeling no desire for sex, compared to 50 percent of the obese treatment seekers.
Forty-two percent of the treatment seekers said they sometimes, usually or always had sexual function problems, while 41 percent said they avoided sex. Among those with normal weight, the responses were 1.8 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.
The obese people who weren't seeking to lose weight didn't report as many sexual problems, but they still had rates far higher than the normal weight volunteers. About 29 percent said they sometimes, usually or always felt no desire for sex or had problems with sexual function, and 24 percent said they avoided sex.
But nearly the same tally -- 28 percent of treatment seekers and 30 percent of non-treatment seekers -- said they did not enjoy sex some of the time, usually or always. That compared to only 3.9 percent of normal weight people.
"We expected differences, but I don't think we expected them to be that large," Binks said. "But I need to stress that this is a very preliminary snapshot. It's just that there's such a paucity of data in this area that it called for some attention."
He said more research is needed to understand what's causing the problems for obese people.
"Body issues and self esteem problems affect the willingness of obese individuals to approach those situations," he said.
But he said it's also possible that physical variables could be involved, such as body fat reducing genital blood flow. Exercise, although possibly more difficult for obese people, also can increase blood circulation and has been linked with the ability to overcome depression.
"This is a very important area," Binks concluded, "especially because we're normalizing this very important area of the human condition. Sexual quality of life is a very important part of everybody's well being and their general quality of life. To treat it as a co-morbidity to obesity may be as important as treating the other co-morbidities


who would have guessed. you mean that the morbidly obese dont get laid like crazy. i wonder how much money was wasted doing this study. my buddies and i could have done this study at the bar near my house. they should now do a study to see if fat people have more sex depending on the amount of alcohol thats been consumed. alcohol......make fat people attractive since 1528.
