WHY OPRAH WHY? The National Institute of Canine Experts is confused and dismayed by Oprah Winfrey's acceptance of PETA's Person of the Year Award for 2008. By accepting this award, it appears to NICE, The National Institute of Canine Experts, that Oprah Winfrey sends the message that she agrees with PETA's mission and actions.

Oprah, "Do you support eliminating medical research for American children who suffer from diseases such as cancer and AIDS? PETA does. PETA's president has said that "even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it." And PETA has repeatedly attacked many well-respected medical research foundations such as the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, solely because they support animal-based research.

Oprah, "Do you support organizations that kill 90% of their shelter animals?" PETA does just that. According to government documents, PETA employees have killed more than 19,200 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens since 1998. In 2005, two PETA employees two PETA employees were charged with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty each, after authorities found them dumping the dead bodies of 18 animals they had just picked up from a North Carolina animal shelter into a Dumpster.

Ingrid Newkirk, "The Butcher of Norfolk" and her organization PETA puts to death over 90 percent of the animals it accepts from members of the public who expect the group to make a reasonable attempt to find them adoptive homes.

PETA spends part of its $32 million annual income on a contract with a crematory service to periodically empty hundreds of animal bodies from its large walk-in freezer. http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ http://www.consumerfreedom.com http://www.animalagalliance.org/ http://www.thisistrue.com/peta.html

Oprah, "Do you support the elimination, extinction and eradiation of cows, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, birds, goldfish, honey, rubber, wool, cashmere, milk, and cheese from our lives? Ingrid Newkirk has described her group's overall goal as "total animal liberation."

This means the complete abolition of meat, milk, cheese, eggs, honey, zoos, aquariums, circuses, wool, leather, fur, silk, hunting, fishing, and pet ownership from American homes.

Oprah, "Do you support those who participate in arson and other criminal activities? PETA does. It appears that PETA has provided financial support to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals.

From the article, "7 Things That You Didn't Know About PETA", it is reported, " that PETA made a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified "domestic terrorist" group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats.

During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to Rodney Coronado, an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) serial arsonist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing memorandum, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime."

Oprah, "Do you support an organization that spreads misinformation about Jesus Christ and attempts to vilify respected religious practices? PETA does. PETA's has been reported in having billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs "died for their sins" a gross misrepresentation of the life and message of Jesus Christ.

PETA's "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign compared the genocide of the Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust to our use of chickens and other traditional farm animals. PETA's anti-religion campaigns include a website that claims despite any evidence to support their claim that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian.

Oprah, "Why are you associated with an organization that cares more for publicity than the truth?" PETA frequently tolerates celebrity spokespersons that don't practice what they preach. Many of its celebrity spokesmen and woman eat meat, wear fur and support animal based research.

For those of you who adore Oprah as much as we do, we understand your horror and disgust with the facts that we have presented. Everyone can make a mistake, and we are sure that Oprah did by accepting this Award.

The National Institute of Canine Experts are asking you to contact Oprah and to ask her to return her award right back to PETA.

And our next questions is, "Why is Wayne Pacelle of HSUS even allowed to appear on your show at all as there is overwhleming evidence that he and his organization appear go out of their way to kill healthy, innocent puppies." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDSyIBxat7c&eurl www.dogdoright.com http://dogtrainerchicago.com/ www.chicagodogcoach.com http://dogtrainerchicago.com/blog/ http://amimoorechicago.blogspot.com/ www.nicenow.org http://niceorg.wordpress.com/ http://twitter.com/amimoore http://hubpages.com/profile/amimoore http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Ask_Ami_The_Dog_Lady http://www.blackplanet.com/AMIMOORE/ http://www.xanga.com/amimoore http://www.linkedin.com/in/amimoore www.myspace.com/justaskami http://plurk.com/amimoore/invite

IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York Dog Owners/Trainers Soon to be Howling at Albany January 7th, 2009 Albany, New York New York District 39's Assemblyman Jose Peralta has initiated a bill (A01540) into the New York State legislature to compel dog owners to comply with new licensing requirements, including a provision requiring them to attend and complete dog obedience training. The Bill will also have a profound effect on Professional Dog Trainers conducting commerce in New York State; including those who participate in a wide variety of dog training disciplines from training hunting dogs, competitive obedience dogs and protection dogs as well as those who make their livelihood on the misbehaviors of man's best friend. This Bill is attached to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Marketing and the provisions within it rely heavily on "...the Commissioner to establish requirements for basic obedience courses for dogs and their owners that must be completed successfully...", all without mentioning the consequences should they (owners) be found not in compliance. In addition, the provision in 113-A requires that "...the Commissioner shall establish requirements for Dog Obedience Schools which are 'authorized' to provide the basic dog obedience courses for dogs and their owners...", again all without clarifying the language that will address that authorization. Upon contacting the Assemblyman's office, it was implied that those "authorization prerequisites" could possibly come in the form of 'certification' for dog trainers in order to meet this criterion and continue to conduct commerce by offering training help to dogs and their owners in the state of New York. Certification has long been a 'bone' of contention amongst the dog training community with disagreements from what qualifies a dog trainer to what would constitute a trained dog, by any standards. It has been long established that dog training has been largely unregulated and it has historically been identified as a diverse group of individuals who practice a variety of dog training disciplines. With the recent growth of schools for Dog Trainers, professional organizations and other dog training communities, many long-time Professional Dog Trainers are feeling the heat of this pending legislation. Up until only a few short years ago, there was no such thing as 'certification' for dog trainers and today its value depends largely on the certifying body, and the organization that endorses the certification. Many Professional Dog Trainers have practiced their craft for decades, through the traditional institutions of apprenticeship and practical hands-on training, where even the most well known organization that recognizes Professional Dog Trainers (Association of Pet Dog Trainers, www.apdt.com ) established in the mid '90's offers only a multiple choice questionnaire and a minimal number of hands-on hours before granting a certification. The National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors established in 1965 ( www.nadoi.org ) requires an essay examination of practical skill sets and video portions to identify these skill sets in order to be endorsed; the International Association of Canine Professionals established in the late '90's (www.dogpro.org ) affords a voluntary process for it's members to elect a certification program that contains not only an essay portion, but a video portion as well as endorsements written by students of the applicant, something neither of the other organizations require. With an inability to determine what constitutes "basic obedience" in a meaningful way, logic suggest those already in place, a certification determining the safe behavior of the dog is a far better alternative to regulating dog owners and Dog Trainers. Such an option to amend a community's licensing requirements with "Good Dog" tests such as Rockville Maryland's Section 3-23 "Animal Off-Leash with Permission" offers a meaningful alternative to New York's proposed difficult to implement, difficult to enforce legislation. Reasonable legislation can be drafted to promote responsible dog ownership without forcing impositions on already responsible men and women who own dogs and Professional Dog Trainers who offer training services without the benefit of questionable 'certificatio n'. Responsible New York State dog owners cannot help but be failed by this proposal and the Professional Dog Trainers who currently serve them should not be restricted from conducting their trade by a state mandate that can only be damaging to dog owners and their dogs. http://amimoorechicago.blogspot.com/ www.dogdoright.com www.chicagodogcoach.com www.nicenow.org http://niceorg.wordpress.com/ http://twitter.com/amimoore http://hubpages.com/profile/amimoore http://www.largesquare.com/groups/ChicagoDogTrainer http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Ask_Ami_The_Dog_Lady http://www.blackplanet.com/AMIMOORE

CHICAGO - As Chicago lawmakers mull over a law which would require spaying and neutering for all pets over six months of age, local dog expert professional dog behaviorist Ami Moore is on a mission to speak out against the pending ordinance. Moore close ties with the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association, the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association, the International Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club, the American Dog Owners of America, and independent hobby breeders from around the Chicago area to make sure Chicago aldermen understand the ramifications of a mandatory spay/neuter law before they vote on the issue in September. Most recently, an editorial composed by Moore was published in the 2008 Spaniel Journal (www.spanieljournal.com). In her article, Moore explains why she has become a "reluctant revolutionary" in the fight against mandatory spay and neuter laws. "In America your right to property - your dog - and the ability to use it as you wish - keep it intact - is a right that can't be taken away or limited by any government on any level," Moore says in the article. "Even though breed ban laws may be passed when challenged, all judges that preside in all courts in our country are mandated to strike down any law that violates your unalienable rights granted by the Constitution." Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Whisperer, continues, "Personally, I am appalled that the extreme so-called 'animal rights' groups, animal control officers, and politicians pressure American citizens into needless medical surgery of their dogs and cats. It is a scientific fact that this procedure can increase a dog's aggressiveness." The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association has backed Moore's arguments, and has issued its own statement in opposition to Chicago's pending mandatory spay/neuter law. "Responsible, properly educated people are already having their pets sterilized when medically prudent," the statement says. "It seems inappropriate that a police officer's time would be devoted to inspecting female dogs for spay scars and checking male dogs for testicles when much more serious offenses are being perpetrated. This ordinance may seem like a quick-fix for aldermen seeking solutions to challenging problems, but the reality is that it will not fix the problems they are looking to resolve. Laws should be designed to solve problems, not create more. The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association recommends that this proposal be allowed to die, and welcomes a chance to help the city and citizens of Chicago and Illinois craft well written, meaningful and thoughtful animal legislation." --- Ami Moore is a Chicago-based dog behaviorist, dog coach, educator, speaker and author.

CHICAGO - Two years ago, the City of Chicago passed a law banning restaurants from serving foie gras - a delicacy made from the engorged livers of ducks or geese. In the eyes of many, the law only served to make Chicago a nationwide laughing stock. This year, Chicago aldermen repealed the controversial law in a 37-6 vote. Now, city leaders are faced with another decision regarding the humane treatment of animals - and, again, both supporters and opponents of the proposed law, which would require all pets over six months of age to be spayed or neutered, are speaking their minds. "I don't think that most Chicagoans are really aware that this law is as foolish as the anti foie gras law that was recently rescinded," says Chicago professional dog behaviorist Ami Moore. "Residents need to be aware that we have specific rights, including the right to have the dog we want of the breed we want and the right to keep it intact as long as we are responsible." Moore is not opposed to spaying and neutering. In fact, many of her own pets have undergone the procedures. "I have always voluntarily altered my dogs and cats for a variety of reasons," Moore says. "In the good old days, the choice of when to neuter my animals was always left up to my family and myself - not the government." The proposed Chicago ordinance was written in part by the Humane Society of the United States, an organization Moore claims is a radical animal rights group and is affiliated with PETA. These groups goal is to render all domestic animals extinct. Supporters of the ordinance say mandatory spaying and neutering of pets will reduce the number of unwanted animals in the area and reduce the number of dog fights held by Chicago-area gang members. At the hearing these supporters could not provide any supporting scientific evidence that this ordinance could effectively reach these goals. The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association (ISVMA) has said, however, "The reality is that it will have no effect on these problems. Instead, it will create some serious public health concerns, cause many animals to be denied necessary health care, and will trample on the personal property rights of conscientious pet owners." The proposed ordinance implies that the number of dog bites will be reduced as a result of enforcement of the law. However, Moore and the ISVMA say the assumption that only non-spayed or non-neutered animals bite is irrational. Studies have shown that dogs bite humans for a number of reasons, including protection of their own food and anxiety - none of which are directly connected to whether they have been spayed or neutered. "If a dog becomes a danger, then confiscate it and fine the owner," Ami Moore says. "Punishing the innocent, law-abiding dog owner is unfair." Ami Moore, backed by the ISVMA, also believes a mandatory spay and neuter law would discourage some pet owners from seeking rabies immunizations. If a pet owner needs to immunize his or her pet, but doesn't want to spay or neuter the pet, he or she may avoid the veterinarian's office for fear of being reported. The proposed ordinance further implies that sterilization can create a healthier pet. "There are both positive and negative affects accrued from sterilization," the ISVMA says. "It appears that benefits outweigh risks, however, there are many breed and individual dog variants, suggesting that professional judgment is required to determine whether and when to neuter/spay pets." "I am working with several national dog organizations, such as the International Kennel Club, and I am supporting the Illinios State Veterinary Medical Association and the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association in opposing this proposed law," Moore says. "I am also working closely with several hobby breeders to rally the public to our cause. The bottom line is that testicles don't bite people-untrained dogs owned by idiots bite people. Educate the dog and the owner and dog bites don't happen!" Chicago aldermen are expected to vote on the proposed mandatory spay and neuter law in September. --- Ami Moore is a Chicago-based professional dog behaviorist, dog coach, educator, speaker and author.

CHICAGO - A local dog coach's Dog Boot Camp business got a boost after it was featured on WCRX's Pet Talk, hosted by Antonia Zito. "I got an avalanche of Dog Boot Camp inquiries," says a grateful Ami Moore. Through the talk radio show, which airs every Saturday morning on WCRX and WCRX.net, Moore was able to promote her unique boot camp, a program which rehabilitates problem pets in a relatively short amount of time. "We run boot camps that range in length from three days to 31 days," Moore explains. In most cases, the dog lives with the trainer during the entire boot camp period. The owner may visit the dog, but it isn't mandatory. The dog boot camp is a fun-filled experience for the dog that entails education, exercise, field trips to the dog park, the dog beach and local forest preserves. "The dog boot camp dogs accompany us on our outings during the day; if we go to Starbucks-the dog goes to Starbucks. If we go hang out at a gallery opening-the dog attends with us." "The dog is kept in a whole pack manner so that the other dogs that are there help us reinforce the lessons of calmness, control and submission," Moore continues. "In our method, the most submissive dog is rewarded first." Tools and techniques are used which relate to dogs on a psychological level, Moore says. "The dog, as a species, has many reflexes and genetic programming which can be used to increase the ease of learning," Moore says. "That is a trick which we have learned, and which we use in our program." Dogs are fed raw meat or Flint River Ranch brand dog food, which is made from human-grade ingredients. If a dog is overweight, it is enrolled in a fitness program. "I practiced a raw meat diet for about two years. Hard to believe! I ate raw meat, raw dairy products and greens and I felt as if I was a kid again. I lost weight, gained energy and I only needed four hours of sleep per night. I used a combination of the Neanderthin or Caveman program, parts of Dr. Weston Price's eating plan and Aajounus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet program. I figured that if I had no right to experiment on dogs if I wasn't going to experiment on myself first." "In less than two weeks, we can rehabilitate any dog with almost any problem," Moore boasts. "We educate the dog in a gentle, dog-friendly manner to such an advanced degree that the dog will respond to commands anywhere, any time - without a leash." Ami Moore has developed a successful career by applying human occupational therapy techniques to the training of dogs. A lifelong dog lover, she has used what she learned during her years as a children's occupational therapist to help dogs who have behavior issues. Moore's human clients struggled with disabilities such as attention deficit disorder (ADD) and Down Syndrome, and, through her experiences, she discovered that dogs who have trouble being calm have many things in common with children who have ADD. Ami Moore warns pet owners to select a boot camp location very carefully. "In Illinois, it is illegal for a dog trainer to keep dogs in their home unless the home has been inspected by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture as a kennel," she says. "In addition, the city in which the dog trainer is located should also issue a license for the dog training activity. These trainers that work illegally out of their home-generally are novices who dabble in dog training after they get off of their day job." "The public should be very aware that there are many outlaw Illinois dog trainers running dog training boot camps out of their homes illegally." --- Ami Moore is a Chicago-based dog behaviorist, dog coach, educator, speaker and author.

CHICAGO - "As a professional, it is important for me to be aware of signs of potential abuse in order to protect my clients," says Chicago-based dog behaviorist and coach Ami Moore. In order to keep abreast of the latest information concerning the link between violence among humans and violence toward animals, Moore recently completed a course called "Protecting People and Pets" - presented by Diana Clement, director of the Humane Society of the United States. "Those who abuse dogs will often abuse women and children," Moore noted. The three-part course illustrated how cruelty to animals often occurs alongside other problems such as maltreatment of children, teen violence, spousal abuse, elder abuse, and aggression in neighborhoods, schools, and communities. The course was designed for educators, investigators, animal care and control personnel, law enforcement officials, protective service professionals, and other anti-violence workers who hoped to gain fundamental knowledge of the relationship between cruelty to animals and interpersonal violence. During the course, Chicago leaders discussed resources currently available to individuals and families dealing with domestic violence, along with actions being taken to increase programs to prevent animal violence and violence toward women and children. Moore has developed a successful career by applying human occupational therapy techniques to the training of dogs. A lifelong dog lover, she has used what she learned during her ten years as a children's occupational therapist to help dogs who have behavior issues. Moore's human clients struggled with disabilities such as attention deficit disorder (ADD) and Down Syndrome, and, through her experiences, she discovered that dogs who have trouble being calm have many things in common with children who have ADD. "My goal is to bring harmony to people and their dogs," Moore has said. With the knowledge she gained during the "Protecting People and Pets" course, she can now assist in bringing harmony to families as well. --- Ami Moore is a Chicago-based dog behaviorist, dog coach, educator, speaker and author.

Is New Terrifying Disease the Cause of Genetically Modified Foods? Have you ever heard of "Morgellon's Disease?" As of February 2007, more than 10,000 reports of the mysterious disease have been reported on the Morgellon Foundation's website. That's up from 2,000 reports in February of 2006. Reports come from 15 nations across the world, including Canada, the UK, Australia and The Netherlands, as well as all 50 U.S. states. The majority of reports have come from Texas, California and Florida.

AMI COMMENTS: This is where the bees that pollinate our foods are dying as well.

People with Morgellon's disease describe it as a feeling of bugs or parasites scuttling around beneath their skin, accompanied by open lesions that heal slowly and ooze out blue, black or white fibers that can be several millimeters long. These fibers appear like pliable plastic. They can be as fine as spider silk, yet they are strong enough to distend the skin when pulled and elicit shooting pains when you try to remove them.

AMI COMMENTS: If this disease can strike us, people, then it stands to reason that it will affect our dogs.

The CDC, unusually slow to respond to what can only be described as a new outbreak, has finally set up a web page about the phenomenon, which they refer to as "Unexplained Dermopathy." In August 2007 -- a year after vowing to look into the terrifying disorder -- they gave $300,000 to Kaiser Permanente to investigate the disease.

The CDC's website lists additional symptoms, including fatigue, mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, changes in vision, and social dysfunction, including suicide. According to an article in Natural News, published last week, Morgellon's disease may be linked to genetically modified food.

While the CDC dragged its feet, a research team from Oklahoma State University lead by Dr. Randy Wymore, studied some of the fibers sent to them by Morgellons patients. They found that the fibers from different people look remarkably similar to each other, yet do not match any common environmental fibers.

Vitaly Citovsky, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Stony Brook University in New York, discovered that the fibers contain the substance Agrobacterium, a genus of gram-negative bacteria capable of genetically transforming not only plants, but also other eukaryotic species, including human cells.

Are we now teetering on the brink of the GM food disaster we feared from the very beginning? Dr Mercola's article: "This Company May Be the Biggest Threat to Your Future Health" should be a must read for everyone. Watch the 2-hour video expose. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/01/this-company-may-be-the-biggest-threat-to-your-future-health.aspx?source=nl

A DOG SAFE VALENTINE'S DAY

Even though Valentine's Day is a holiday of romance, roses and chocolate, it is important that you keep the health and welfare of your puppy in mind. The biggest health challenge for dogs during the holiday of love is the abundance of chocolate candy. Did you know that chocolate poisoning is the second most common cause of accidental poisonings for dogs?

Chocolate and Dogs

Chocolate contains the chemical theobromine. This chemical is found in the cocoa fat component of chocolate and acts as a stimulant within the dog's system. Small dogs can be poisoned from smaller amounts of theobromine than large dogs. 1 and ounces of dark chocolate or Baker's Chocolate can be a lethal dose for a small dog.

Each variety of chocolate has a different level of theobromine. White chocolate has the least amount of theobromine, about 1 mg per ounce. Milk chocolate, the most common kind of chocolate, contains 65 milligrams of theobromine per ounce, semisweet chocolate contains 165 mgs and baking chocolate has about 400mg.

When Your Dog Eats Chocolate

When you or your dog eats chocolate, the theobromine is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and intestines into the bloodstream. It's carried to all parts of the body and is eventually metabolized by the liver and then eliminated in the urine. Unfortunately, dogs have a very difficult time metabolizing theobromine; it takes approximately 15 to 20 hours for a dog to eliminate one-half of the theobromine consumed from its body. However, it only takes 5 hours for your body to dump the excess theobromine from your system.

Why Your Dog Must Never Have Chocolate

Theobromine, like caffeine, acts as a stimulant. It directly affects the heart and can cause an extreme increase in heart rate, an increase in blood pressure, as well as irregularities in the heart rhythm. This is why people find chocolate so irresistible, chemically it mimics the feeling of infatuation by causing rapid heartbeat, hyperactivity, flushing of the skin. Chocolate makes us feel like we are in love.

Chocolate and the Dogs Body

Unfortunately, the canine central nervous system is negatively stimulated by theobromine. Excessive chemical stimulation can result in nervousness, restlessness, insomnia, tremors, and even seizures. Stimulation of the central nervous system can increase respiration, increase panting, and induce nausea, and vomiting. Theobromine acts a diuretic causing large amounts of body fluid are lost by urination, which can lead to dehydration.

How To Know If Your Dog Is In Danger

Within two to three hours of consuming a toxic dose of chocolate, the dog will appear excited, agitated or nervous; may exhibit polydipsia; and may vomit. Within 8-10 hours, the dog may be extremely hyperactive, have difficulty walking, may develop seizures and ultimately may fall into a coma and die.

Watch for the following symptoms of chocolate poisoning:

• Excessive drooling
• Excessive urination
• Pupil dilation
• Excessive panting
• Rapid heartbeat
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Pale gums Hyperactivity
• Muscle tremors and seizures.

What To Do If Your Dog Eats Chocolate

So what do you do if you find that your dog has gotten into your gift basket of chocolate? If your dog consumed only a small amount of white or milk chocolate, he may not require treatment. Any dog that is exhibiting symptoms of chocolate toxicosis must be treated immediately.

Treatment usually involves the administration of emetics, to make the dog vomit; activated charcoal, to bind theobromine in the stomach and limit its reabsorption into the bloodstream; intravenous or subcutaneous fluids prevent dehydration, and sedatives such as valium, to control seizures.

An Ounce of Prevention

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure during the most romantic time of the year, Valentine's Day. If you follow the following guidelines, you will be able to protect your dog from temptation.

1. Always place chocolate on a high counter, in a cabinet or in the refrigerator.
2. If you are a pet parent that likes to share your goodies with your dog, purchase some dog friendly Valentine treats such as carob cookies or carob candy especially made for the canine body.
3. If you are having a party at your house make sure that all liquor and chocolates are placed on a high counter or are always under the watchful eye of a sober bartender.
4. Most importantly double check your kitchen and eating floor and counter for any forgotten chocolate contraband before you turn in for the night.
