The United Nations Believes That Guantanamo Bay Is Operating In Violation of "Clear Breach of International Law"

thepoliticalfreakshow:

The United States’ continued operation of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba is a “clear breach of international law,” United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said today, Reuters reports. Only six trials have been completed in 10 years, while eight detainees have died at the prison. “While fully recognizing the right and duty of states to protect their people and territory from terrorist acts, I remind all branches of the U.S. government of their obligation under international human rights law to ensure that individuals deprived of their liberty can have the lawfulness of their detention reviewed before a court,” Pillay said. “Where credible evidence exists against Guantanamo detainees, they should be charged and prosecuted. Otherwise, they must be released.”

Never buy a puppy from a pet shop, ads in the newspaper or online, because it is likely that they come from places like this.
Puppy farms keep their dogs in small confined cages or pens. They are forced to produce litter after litter, until they get to an age where their bodies can no longer produce any more litters. They are then killed.

Dogs that are purchased from puppy farms will either grow up to have health issues or  behavioural problems, This is because they have not been socialised properly due to living in a filthy pen and/or a pet shop window. Puppy farms only breed because of demand.
So make sure that when you’re going to adopt your puppy, that you view the breeder’s property to ensure that the puppies and their parents have been well looked after and are healthy, Make sure that they aren’t living in conditions like the puppies in these photos.
Buy from a registered reputable breeder or even better, adopt.

Help ban puppy farms by not supporting the trade.

Right-Wing Terrorism

The race for the Arkansas’ third congressional district took a gruesome turn on Sunday, when the campaign manager for Democratic challenger Ken Aden came home and found his cat slaughtered with the word “liberal” painted on the corpse.

According to a press release sent out by the Aden campaign, “The family pet, an adult, mixed-breed Siamese cat, had one side of its head bashed in to the point the cat’s eyeball was barely hanging from its socket. The perpetrators scrawled ‘liberal’ across the cat’s body and left it on the doorstep of [Jacob] Burris’ house.”

These home-drones would be great for regular folks to use after disasters, wildfires, and storms. Ima call them “journalidrones.”

We can all agree that this is the coolest thing that’s ever been on Kickstarter, right?
