Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

I’ve never understood how people think that mutts just magically loose any health problems, I mean if purebreds just drop dead from health problems, how would they not be carried over to the mutts?
Furthermore, how many mutts have their health tests all properly done? I’ve never met anyone who argues that their mutt is magically health problem free back it up with proof, ie with proper health tests. My dogs are all cleared in their elbows, hips, hearts, eyes. I can prove that my purebred dogs are healthy.
So please, tell me. Why do people think this? They hurt my brain with their lack of logic. ):

My mother and I are torn between these two breeds. Dalmatian or Lab. I was hoping you guys might be able to help us figure out which breed would be better for us. Below is a checklist of what we’re looking for in a new dog:
*Friendly and gets along well with others and other animals since we have many cats and 3 other dogs.
*Affectionate and playful
*A quick learner since we are wanting to train the dog to be in many different events once he is old enough (he will be neutered at 6 months)
We also would like him to not be prone to a lot of health issues. Which, we know Dalmatians can be prone to them. Especially urinary problems, but if we choose to go with the Dalmatian, what high quality dog foods would he need to be on?
Thanks!

it is supposed to be 5-7 minutes long (it was 6 minutes when i clocked it). is it good for a freshman honors english class? the topic is controversial issues, and we have to prove a point using a speech and powerpoint. (graph not included even though i talk about it)
Okay so first, I’m going to ask some questions, and I would like you guys to raise your hands if your answer is yes.
Have any of you ever used Dove hair products?
What about Neutrogena face wash?
Post-it notes?
Okay now who feeds their dog Iams dog food?
All of these products that I have just asked you about have one thing in common; they have all been tested on animals. Animal testing is a way for scientists to see if everyday products are safe for human use. Although this idea may seem harmless enough, I can assure you that it is far from harmless. These and other companies neglect, mistreat, and abuse animals in testing laboratories to get you products like Iams dog food or your favorite Dove shampoo. Each year, animals ranging from monkeys to mice to dogs are manipulated and defiled by scientists who apply household products, drugs, and other toxic substances to them. According to Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, there is evidence that animals are under a constant stress from fear, loss of control over their lives, and the denial of all that is natural and meaningful to them, such as enjoying company of their own kind and choosing. Some animals are forced to live their whole lives in ratty cages not much bigger than they are, with no food or water for the sole purpose of experimentation by a scientist.
What I am about to say is somewhat graphic, but I want to get across my point to show you the cruelty behind testing. During experiments on rabbits according to PETA, “After placing the substance in the rabbits’ eyes, laboratory technicians record the damage to the eye tissue …with tests sometimes lasting 7 to 18 days. Reactions to the substances include swollen eyelids, inflamed irises, ulceration, bleeding, massive deterioration, and blindness. During the tests, the rabbits’ eyelids are held open with clips. Animals may break their necks as they struggle to escape.” And for all of you cringing, this is only a minute sample of the horrors of testing. After their first experiment, most animals die simply from the negative effects. But if they do survive, they are simply tested on again and again until they are deemed useless, at which point they are euthanized.
There is also another unreasonable factor about experimenting on animals. Their bodies, and reactions to products tested on them are completely different than humans. Animals’ systems work in different ways than a human’s. We never know if a product that is tested on a cat or a mouse effectively will kill or poison a human. Because of this, these tests usually produce useless results and wasted animals. According to Javier Burgos, president of a animal testing awareness group called The Nature of Wellness, “The fact is that animals react differently to different substances, not only from human beings, but also from each other…guinea pigs can safely eat strychnine-one of the deadliest poisons for humans, but not for monkeys”. Substances react differently on unalike animals. Testers simply ignore the difference, which is taking its toll on the health of humans.
Stopping animal testing relies mainly on the progression and advancement of the alternatives to experimentation. It is true that there remain few quality substitutes to animal testing. There are only 2 good alternatives; in-vitro testing and also computer modeling. Although they will never reach to the heights of using live beings, they are still a beginning. If people can develop them more in the future, then we will have a better chance at helping these animals in testing laboratories. Says Kara Rogers, an writer whose work centers around the cruelty of animal testing, “Alternatives to animal testing are primarily based on biochemical assays, on experiments in cells that are carried out in vitro (“within the glass”), and on computational models and algorithms” (Rogers). In Vitro testing uses human cells for experiments instead of animals. The use of human cells promises that there will be no problems with the product if it is tested successfully, since the test was on human cells. So although it isn’t completely verifiable since it is only tested on the cells and not the organs of a human, it can still be used for some products. Since putting a stop to animal testing will take many years, in the mean time we should promote changing animal-based tests to lessen the number of animals used and to minimize suffering and distress.
So in this graph, people were questioned about buying products tested on an animal. They were asked to agree or disagree with this statement: if they found 2 products identical in price and quality

“MUHUMMAD WAS THE SOUL OF KINDNESS, AND HIS INFLUENCE WAS FELT AND NEVER FORGOTTEN BY THOSE AROUND HIM.” A Hindu scholar [Diwan Chand Sharma in his "The Prophets of the East," Calcutta 1935, p. 122.]

“I HAVE STUDIED HIM – THE WONDERFUL MAN – AND IN MY OPINION , HE MUST BE CALLED THE SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY.” [George Bernard Shaw, in "The Genuine Islam,- Vol. 1, No. 81936.]
“BY A FORTUNE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE IN HISTORY, MOHAMMED IS A THREEFOLD FOUNDER OF A NATION, OF AN EMPIRE, AND OF A RELIGION.” [R. Bosworth-Smith in "Mohammed and Mohammedanism".- 1946.]
“If a man like Muhammed were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness.” [George Bernard Shaw]
“It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read or write. In fact, he was illiterate. We are talking about 1400 years ago. You have someone who was illiterate making profound pronouncement and statements and are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. I personally cannot see how this could be mere chance. There are too many accuracyÂ’s and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind in concerning that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements.” Dr. T.V.N. Persaud is a Professor of Anatomy and Head of the Department of Anatomy, and a professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.” [Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, p. 33.]
Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur’ân; it asks you to reflect and reason….When I read the Qur’ân further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me was the Qur’ân and God had sent it to me.” [Cat Stevens (Now Yusuf Islam), former British pop star.]
Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born at Mecca, in Arabia the man who, of all men exercised the greatest influence upon the human race . . . Mohammed . . . ” [John William Draper, M.D., L.L.D., A History of the Intellectual Development of Europe, London 1875, Vol.1, pp.329-330]
“Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him.” [Diwan Chand Sharma, The Prophets of the East, Calcutta 1935, p. l 22.]
I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age.[G.B. Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol. 1, No. 81936.]
“The rise of Islam is perhaps the most amazing event in human history. Springing from a land and a people like previously negligible, Islam spread within a century over half the earth, shattering great empires, overthrowing long established religions, remoulding the souls of races, and building up a whole new world – world of Islam.
“Muhummed is the most successful of all Prophets and religious personalities.” [Encyclopedia Britannica]

I was considering health. It would be awful if the havanese comes down with a genetic health problem. So responsible breeders are the best bet. On the other hand, what about animal shelters? Will most of the dogs there have health problems? Thanks!!
