Who the heck leaves a dog at 13k?

Honestly Karl,, would you have been happier had the group gone up there and caved the dogs head in with a rock in protest over pig farms?

If you could talk to the animals, would they have anything to say? New research suggests they might.

Testing the IQ of a sheep may seem laughable. But at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, England, they know better. One sheep who got a reward every time she recognized a human face correctly on a video screen scored a perfect 50 out of 50.

"If it was a monkey, no one would have any problems, possibly even if it was a dog," said Keith Kendrick, a neurologist at Babraham. "They would say, 'Yeah, yeah, that's expected.' But a sheep, no one really believes."

Pigs, Chickens, Cows

And it's not just sheep.

Hamlet the pig is a computer wiz. He gets a reward every time he uses a joystick designed for a chimp to move a cursor into a blue area on a computer monitor. A Jack Russell terrier couldn't achieve such a task after a year of trying.

In other words, pigs are smarter than dogs.

"They're very curious, and they'll charge off on their own," said John Webster, a professor at the University of Bristol in England. "They will investigate the world with their noses down and batter through like a small boy."

New research shows that chickens can be taught to run the thermostat of the chicken coop, and that even the lowly cow has a surprising inner life.

Cows have been known to form lifelong friendships, and one recent study found that they actually show excitement when they've learned something new "as if they're saying, 'Eureka, I found out how to solve the problem,' " said Donald Broom, a professor at the University of Cambridge....

Riley -- "He (Karl) is just asking you to open your mind and see the entire truth. In the long run, if you do, it will save far more dogs than just this one."

Science says a pig is about as smart as a three year old human.

These lions will spend years in these cramped conditions, waiting to be one day killed by a blood thirsty tourist.

There are 5-6000 lions in around 160 of these sick canned hunting farms in South Africa. The lion is put into a larger enclosure where the trophy hunters/thrill killers shoot them for fun.

The people who take part in this are well educated people who come from civilised societies who claim they know right from wrong, yeah right!

Ron A -- " want me to go on with this? "

Karl. That is pure BS a complete outright propaganda pic if ive ever seen one- you had better do a little more homework before posting that kind of false pics.
