Bulls of Catalonia, Rejoice!

That's right all you big, hunky, masculine bulls, Catalonia, Spain has just banned bullfighting! Now, some see this as a purely political gesture to try to distance themselves from Spain (they want to be an independent state), but I, and many other animal-lovers, see this as a victory against blatant animal cruelty. No more killing of bulls disguised as "sport" - how sweet it is.
Here's one news article about it: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2010/0728/Catalonia-votes-for-less-death-in-the-afternoon-with-bullfighting-ban
Let's have a big, happy MOO for that!

Thoughtful Thursday: Stop Animal Cruelty!

Over at Daisy the Curly Cat's blog (I love that blog, please do check it out), I read about a contest being held by a great cause. I'mTiredOnline is an organization trying to stop animal cruelty - and they're having a contest to see which dogs and cats have the best smile! The photo of Arwen above is my entry - I don't know if they accept Canadian entries or not, but I'm trying anyway, she is just too cute, and the cause is too good :)
