Great Story About Freedom - The Bald Eagle

Check out this great story of a man and a bald eagle both in need of rescue and healing. I copy/pasted the words below from an email I received.

Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998?with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby.
When Freedom came in she could not stand. Both wings were broken, her left wing in 4 places. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office.From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.
This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her dowl cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.
We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove,and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington. We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.
In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair -the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.
Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. ?Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone. Yahoo!
So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long. That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.
On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power coarse through his body. I have so many stories like that.
I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom's.
Hope you enjoy this.

Help Include Pets In Being Protected Against Domestic Violence

Imagine a society where everyone -- including their pets -- is protected from abuse.

Each year, throughout Georgia, countless victims of domestic violence feel they have no choice but to remain in violent households to protect their defenseless pets from harm. Research has shown that up to 48 percent of domestic-violence victims remain in abusive homes out of concern for what might happen to their pets if they left them behind. Sadly, animals are not currently addressed in Georgia’s domestic-violence law.

Georgia House Bill 1242 addresses this issue. The bill would allow judges to include pets in domestic-violence protective orders -- legal orders that would require abusers to not come into contact with, harass or interfere with their victims’ animals.

We owe it to the countless domestic violence victims and survivors throughout Georgia to get this bill passed.

Please support this important legislation by asking Judiciary Non-Civil Committee Chairman David Ralston and Vice Chairman Robert Mumford to schedule HB 1242 for a committee vote and to vote in favor of the bill.

This action alert is for residents of the following states only: Georgia

A Couple Dress In Dead Dog Jumpers

Check out this story about a couple who had jumpers made from the fur of their dead dogs. The couple's friend spun the wool of their dead dogs into sweaters so that they could keep their fuzzy friends close to their hearts... Literally. The couple lost their white Samoyed 12 years ago as well as a Swedish Lapphund in 2002. After seeing Princess Diana wearing a dog fur stole at Crufts they collected thousands of dog hairs from brushes and carpets.

Soldiers Torture A Puppy

See for yourself. I think this is screwed up and of course only fits what has been proven throughout statistics, science and time which is that there is a clear and concise link between animal abuse/torture and serial killing which is what these soldiers do for a living. Sad but true. I have to admit I feel sorry for the soldiers and the puppy equally as they are both obviously damaged not by their own choice.

Jesus Kidnapped and Held for Ransom Because of Some Weiner Dogs

You have to watch this video. For some reason CNN must have been bored to have covered this story about weiner dogs and Jesus Kidnappings. I think that this woman's Jesus is probably having an affair with the Roaming Gnome and they came up with the story to throw the woman off so they could fly out of the country on their cheap tickets. They knew if they came out about their affair then the Phelps from Kansas would have been protesting at the front door when they arrived back from their vacation.

NFL Star's Abused Dogs Given Reprieve

Picture Credit Belongs to Garrett Davis (picture of a caregiver at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary tries to teach abused dogs to trust people) Please read the New York Times article by Juliet Macur published Feb. 2, 2008

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is a 3700 acre sanctuary that is covered by juniper trees and sagebrush, and surrounded by canyon and red rock formations, and is just one of the places that Mike Vick's abused dogs have found reprieve and kindness. Normally when "fighting" dogs are found or rescued it cannot really be classified as a rescue because the animals end up having to be euthanized. In this case there is a reprieve for Mike Vick's abused dogs. These scarred, broken-boned, over bred animals are finally in a better place while alive. It will take a long time to re-habilitate most of them and some have been deemed not able to rehabilitate and the judge has required them by law to stay at the sanctuary until their death. The most touching stories to me are those of "Georgia" and "Little Red" both of whom had their teeth either removed or filed so that they would not fight other dogs while being forceably bred or used as bait. This is what makes them different than some of the other animals that were rescued. "Georgia" is "a caramel-colored pit bull mix with cropped ears and soulful brown eyes, offers a road map to a difficult life. Her tongue juts from the left side of her mouth because her jaw, once broken, healed at an awkward angle. Her tail zigzags. Scars from puncture wounds on her face, legs and torso reveal that she was a fighter. Her misshapen, dangling teats show that she might have been such a successful, vicious competitor that she was forcibly bred, her new handlers suspect, again and again. But there is one haunting sign that Georgia might have endured the most abuse of any of the 47 surviving pit bulls seized last April from the property of the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in connection with an illegal dogfighting ring. Georgia has no teeth. All 42 of them were pried from her mouth, most likely to make certain she could not harm male dogs during forced breeding." That is what makes me a bit emotional about Georgia's story. Almost as bad is "Little Red" "a tiny rust-colored female whose teeth were filed, most likely because she was bait for the Bad Newz fighters. Handlers cannot explain why loud noises make her jumpy." Please read the article as I cannot even attempt to give it justice.

German Medical Student Saves Baby Tiger With Mouth To Snout Procedure At A Zoo

Wow!!! For those of us in the human world who are lovers of animals this is a touching story. Good samaritans like this woman bring us to tears and show us that there are people out there with hearts who are willing to re-start the hearts of all living creatures if they can. A great display of compassion. The baby tiger was choking on a piece of meat as the German medical student was walking past the enclosure with her toddler son. The keeper who was feeding the baby tiger was helpless and at a loss as to what to do when the tiger began to choke and then shake and fall over and die. The medical student offered her assistance as soon as she saw what was going on and removed the piece of meat assessed the tiger to find it was not breathing and then gave it mouth to mouth and heart massage for 3-5 minutes and the little devil came back to life. Wonderful!! The zoo gave the woman a special ceremony for saving the tiger and named the tiger JoHann after the woman's toddler son.

'Soldier Bear' To Be Honored After Fighting In WWII

A bear named Voytek was adopted by Polish soldiers in the Middle East after they found him wandering the hills in 1943. The bear spent much of his life in Scotland after fighting in the war. He helped the troops carry ammunition to the Battle of Monte Cassino. He lived near Hutton in the Borders and ended his days at Edinburgh Zoo. The soldiers he was raised by adopted him after finding him wandering the hills and as he grew they trained him to carry heavy mortar rounds. When the Polish soldiers were deployed to Europe they could not just abandon him after training and raising him so they simply enlisted him and took him with them wherever they went. He was given a rank and number and then took part in the Italian Campaign. Soldiers who were stationed with him said he was easy to get along with, was not scary and that he liked to have a cigarette and a beer just like any man. He didn't move to the Edinburgh Zoo until the troops he was stationed with were demobilized. Some soldiers would visit him there and when they spoke Polish to him he still understood and would knod to them gesturing for a cigarette. A high school teacher is now writing a book about him.

A Florida Man Trains A Turtle To Do Tricks

Check out this link of a video featuring a turtle that can sit, stay, roll over, shake and do full sprints (at turtle speed of course) . I don't know how much time daily was spent teaching the turtle to perform these tasks but this guy must already be married because I can't see a single guy spending all his dating years training a turtle. The man who trained the turtle is a psychologist who did this for the kids that he works with in order to show them that therapy (like his turtle) can move slowly but that you can overcome obstacles if you persist.
