What is wrong with people?!

Fourteen pitbulls were rescued from the 6th floor apartment of a burning building in the Bronx Tuesday morning.

Just one dog was injured in an apparent accident that occurred as the animal was being transported out of the building. That dog suffered a small gash on his noise, but the injury was not serious.

The building's super didn't say much about the owner of the pitbulls, revealing "He has a lot of dogs but he takes care of them."

When the landlord was asked what he thought the owner, a black man in his late 30s, was doing with so many pitbulls, he replied, "To tell you the truth I don't know. Maybe he was selling them or using them to fight."

A source stated that the dogs would likely be taken to the ASPCA facility in Upper Manhattan for medical evaluation to see if they had been mistreated. The FDNY is also investigating the cause of the blaze in which two members sustained minor injuries.

The beautiful Ali Landry graces the cover of K-9 Magazine this month with her family's dog Toulouse!

They make a lovely pair if we say so ourselves!

In an interview for the magazine, Ali says her love of animals started when she was a kid because she grew up on a dairy farm in Louisiana, explaining:

"I was constantly surrounded by animals. We had everything: chickens, cows, birds, bulls, cats, dogs, and even a hamster."

That's quite a collection. We wish we had her childhood now!

Pick up the latest issue of K-9 to read more about what Ali has to say about dogs, life, and her wishes for her own pets to make a difference in the community!

OMG!

A 1,600 pound bull named Rewind jumped over the fence, into the crowd at the Canadian Rodeo Finals in Edmonton.

This was the first time a bull has ever jumped the fence before!

According to the report, three people were injured and treated by paramedics at the scene.

Check out the video above to see this crazy incident!

Absolutely foul. This makes us ill.

There's been quite a bit of controversy surrounding prized animals at various state fairs lately, because apparently the owners have begun doping up cows, steers, and other to enhance their performance during judging!

Winning animals can earn up to $100,000, causing some owners to go to extreme techniques to ensure that theirs come out on top - and it's reached such a prevalence that the state of Ohio has banned up to 8 different substances from being used!

Bulls and steers have been tested positive for steroids, while many cows have water or foam sprayed down their throats - just to appear plumper during judging!

The drug Lasix has also become popular, because it forces fluid out of animals and can make them lose hundred of pounds - which helps the animal compete in a different weight class. However, it is extremely dangerous, and can cause blood pressure problems and mess with the animal's electrolytes.

Awful!

If you want to willingly poison yourself that's one thing, but to do it to an animal to make cash?

Luckily, veterinarians and judges are now attempting to ensure that none of the animals in competition are being mistreated - to the extent that they are monitored and never left alone, and periodically tested for substances in their system that do not belong.

We just can't get over how disgusting this all is.

The lengths people will go to make money, and at the expense of others, even defenseless animals. It never ceases to amaze us.

So sad.

Thoughts??
