KOMO - Seattle, WA : Burien animal shelter passes health inspection | Pets | Burien News

I'm glad they finally passed. Who picked out the color scheme...a preschooler? Open kennels for the dogs = lots of noise when the doggy daycare next door is open. Poor kitties.

Democat...I don't want to alarm you but there are these animals called birds that fly anywhere and everywhere they want without any consideration of political borders! Ever heard of the Bird Flu? Heh heh heh....

The black plague was caused by fleas. People like you who were frightened of everything killed the cats which helped the rats that carried the fleas to breed out of control. It's not like the cat is touring the White House and the Pentagon...it's in quarantine for cripes sake!

You really hate animals don't you? Cats carry a very limited number of infectious diseases, most of them are only dangerous to other felines not humans. It care is probably being donated by the vet. Just who would have to pay for that autopsy anyway? Blood tests would be the same if the cat was alive or dead. Like I've said before....you are an idiot!

Huskies are known for their tendency to roam. It's also quite young and may have only that day figured out a way to jump the fence. My eleven month old collie is physically capable of jumping low fences but hasn't yet discovered that ability. Beautiful dog...looks to be a retriever or maybe a border collie mix. I think this girl "found" a lovely young dog and decided to keep it - the asthma therapy claim is just a load of hooey. PS. Just FYI - my backyard is fully fenced, lowest gate is 4.5', the dog is chipped, collared w/license and he lives in the house. He's never alone in the backyard for more than a few minutes.

Read the story on Oregon Live...link is above. She "found" the dog the same day it jumped the fence. It also had a collar & tags. She pretty much stole the dog IMO. Here it is: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012...

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Activists say Burien\'s experiment in animal control has failed | Local & Regional | Seattle News, W

Typically items for sale in stores don't require food, shelter and medical attention. You would be better off comparing it to a farm. You may need to buy a pair of animals for breeding but after that your "inventory" is "free". You hopefully sell enough of the "free" animals to pay your operating costs but you are bound by market costs as well as demand. I don't know many farmers who are filthy rich.

It's not much if you take into account two employees, at least one vehicle, rent & utilities. That doesn't leave a whole lot for veterinary care, food & supplies. It's Value Village for animals...

I doubt if there is any element of cruelty. Keep in mind the big cats have claws and teeth to kill/injure their prey while chimps do not. It's in the chimps best interest survival wise to incapacitate their prey if they are not able to kill it outright. Big cats may go for the throat choke hold as soon as possible but they typically knock the prey down first - they will not risk being injured themselves just to make a quick kill.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Seattle readies for plastic bag ban to take effect Sunday | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 02:27:58 +0000

You forgot the conclusion: "The study did find that with moderate reuse, plastic totes made from polypropylene are better for the environment than disposable plastic bags, but this doesn’t negate the fact that standard plastic bags are a more environmentally friendly choice than so-called green alternatives like paper bags and reusable cotton totes." That's what all but one of my reusable bags are made of. Personally, the thin plastic bags are weak and not good for much besides small wastebasket liners. They also blow all over the effing place!

"best health care system in the world" ? Based on what besides your personal opinion? We are way down the list, 37th I think. If it were truly the best system why would this be such an important issue for damn near every citizen in the country? It's very broke and in need of fixing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organiz...

Abuse? A pervert took pictures of them without their knowledge while they were going about their everyday activities. Everyone takes baths and uses the toilet. He invaded their privacy....that's hardly abuse. It's only as damaging to the girls as they allow it to be.

Why should it be a source of shame for them at all? What is there to keep secret? A pervert took pictures of them without their knowledge while they were going about their everyday activities? Everyone takes baths and uses the toilet. What exactly do they need to keep secret?

They are teens now. I do think Mom is being absurd....he only took pictures of them that probably were never seen by anyone besides Powell and the people involved in the trial. They may be a bit paranoid about drawing the blinds from now on but that's hardly "robbed of a normal life". I don't think suing him for anything is going to make him break his silence of what he does or doesn't know about Susan. It's just a waste of resources.

I'm all for the right to assemble but once they start using bandanas to cover their faces the police should start using rubber bullets and anything else short of lethal methods.

Even if it was raining when the kids left Mom must have looked out a window at some point and noticed the sun was out. If she was available to run sunscreen out to them why didn't she just do that....especially when one of them has albinism.
