If not killed instantly, the dogs end up wounded and left to die. Shooting, drowning, hanging, and electrocution are just some of the ways countries, particularly those ravaged by war, famine or political upheaval, use to control stray dog populations. Not only are these methods barbaric, they prove ineffective as the stray dog numbers continue to increase around the world.With your help, we can fight the bloodshed. WSPA is already providing much needed mobile clinics fitted with equipment and medical supplies, so dogs receive proper care in rural communities. We're also educating governments and owners on practical solutions like sterilization training and compulsory registration. But as you can imagine, there's so much more to be done.By donating $14 a month to the World Society for the Protection of Animals, you can become a member of the Animal Rescue Team and help save stray dogs and other animals from cruelty.Giving each month is important because it takes time, money and persistence to lobby governments to achieve legislation that outlaws the cruelty of animals. It helps build and establish sanctuaries to rehabilitate the animals you help rescue, and change attitudes to animal welfare through education of children and communities. What’s more, we need your support to help answer urgent calls for acts of such cruelty around the world. So for less than $.50 cents a day you can start saving these animals.

"Cat Ladies" Documentary Film Explores the Deeper Emotions Behind Extreme Cat Ownership

Posted: 13 Jul 2009 11:41 PM PDT

I know that Moderncat is supposed to be the antidote for all things "crazy cat lady," but there is a new documentary I have to share with you that takes a closer look at this stereotype, exploring the deep emotions behind cat ownership. "Cat Ladies" debuted last month at the Silverdocs Film Festival in Washington, D.C. The film profiles four cat ladies, creating "a sensitive and emotionally honest portrait of women whose lives and self-worth have become intractably linked to cats."

Not all of the women in the film have hundreds of cats. One woman only has three.. However, it's not the number of cats, but rather the obsessive attachment to them, that is being explored. Ultimately, the documentary uncovers the universal issues of alienation, loss, and loneliness that we all face.

The trailer above is enough to make me want to see the whole film. (If you can't see the video above, click here to watch it on the site.)

You can also read an interview with the film's director, Christie Callan-Jones on the Silverdocs website. I can't track down much information about distribution of the film. Keep an eye on the film's website for more details.
