More and more people are taking the extra step to prove that pit bulls are not the dangerous creatures that people make them out to be. It can be heartbreaking to know that there are some people who would take out their fear on these dogs and mistreat them. And when a dog is mistreated, they only know how to respond to fear, which causes these myths to be proven true. Misty the pit bull is one such dog who has only known a life of being chained up, out of fear that she would attack people randomly for no reason. She couldn’t run and couldn’t play, and didn’t have anyone or anything to play with anyway. Image Credit: PetsFans But when she was rescued, her entire life was flipped upside down for the better. She was taken from her living situation and placed in the Good News Rehab Centre in Virginia where she’ll eventually be put up for adoption.

This dog was chained in the same spot for over ten years ! . The neighbors say that they have phoned the British Columbia SPCA many times for many years without any result . Can you imagine 10 years on a chain ?. No blanket, toy, or even a bone. Often no food or water.

Judith was given a day to Animal advocates before her owners told us they were going to take Judith to the SPCA and take advantage of its “kill for cash” service, one of its sideline businesses . At this time, the SPCA have already ignored hundreds of animals that were so abused that they were...

An elderly mountain lion who spent his life chained to the back of a truck has finally gotten a taste of freedom. Mufasa the mountain lion was rescued from an illegal Peruvian circus earlier this year. Likely sold into the exotic pet trade as an infant, he had spent 20 years being carted around from village to village and forced to perform. Lacking even the comfort of a cage, when he wasn't performing he would be locked up and chained in the open bed of a truck, where he'd curl up behind the tent poles to sleep. "It was heartbreaking to see Mufasa chained among the circus equipment, living on the back of a pickup truck," Jan Creamer, president of Animal Defenders International (ADI), said in a statement. "A heavy harness and chains were wrapped around his body and as we cut them away, he stretched, free, for the first time." At the time, Creamer described the scene as "the most sad, wretched thing that you've ever seen," noting that...
