<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">97 neglected sled dogs have been seized yesterday by the SPCA LL and two international organisations. <strong>The dehydrated and hungry dogs, including 30 pregnant females, were living outside where they could have died from extreme winter temperatures</strong> if they hadn&#8217;t been surrendered by their guardian. </span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">According to SPCA LL, situations like this are not uncommon in Canada, hence the<em> </em>immediate need of advocating for <strong>stronger laws to protect animals</strong>. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">The rescued dogs will eventually be moved to several organisations throughout Canada and the United Stated to be nursed back to heath, get spayed or neutered and be available for adoption.</span></span></span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">Le 17 novembre 2009, aidée de deux organismes internationaux, la SPCA Laurentides-Labelle saisit 97 chiens de traîneau négligés par leur gardien. <strong>Les animaux affamés et déshydratés, comprenant une trentaine de femelles enceintes, étaient enchaînés a l&#8217;extérieur où les températures hivernales à venir auraient fini par les tuer</strong> s&#8217;ils n&#8217;avaient pas étés cédés au refuge. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">La SPCA Laurentides-Labelle affirme que ceci n&#8217;est pas un cas isolé et que des situations semblables ou des chiens de traîneau sont négligés sont régulièrement reportées au Canada, d&#8217;où le besoin immédiat de <strong>meilleures lois pour protéger les animaux</strong>. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="font-size:normal;"><span style="color:#000000;">Les chiens quitteront éventuellement le refuge d&#8217;urgence dans les Laurentides et seront distribués entre plusieurs organismes au Canada et aux États-Unis pour y être soignés et stérélisés. Ils seront alors disponibles pour l&#8217;adoption.</span> </span></span></div>

 <br />
<strong><span style="color:#000000;">About Catherine</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">My full name is Catherine Méthot.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I&#8217;m a 17 year old Canadian student from Northern Ontario. I lived 12 years in Quebec and my primary language is french, but I also understand and write in english. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Some of my interests are music, concerts, sketching, reading, writing, photography and outdoor activities. I have a great passion for animals and it lead me, a few years ago, to get implicated in animal-related issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I always wanted to help, to heal, to save every living creature and thought of becoming a biologist or a veterinarian. Although I don&#8217;t think that heavy studies are a good idea for me, I know I will always be able to make a difference by EDUCATING, and being an editor of this blog is the perfect opportunity to do so. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Now, I can write and help animals at the same time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I consider myself as an open-minded, curious and creative individual, but also very shy with a self-esteem to work on. This is why this experience means I&#8217;m probably going to get out of my comfort zone, but I hope to be able to make the most of it and learn as much as you do.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Take care!  </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Cath  </span></p>

</span><strong><br />
<span style="color:#000000;">À propos de Catherine</span></strong><span style="color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Mon nom complet est Catherine Méthot.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Je suis une étudiante Canadienne de 17 ans ayant grandi au Québec et résident présentement dans le Nord de l&#8217;Ontario. Ma langue maternelle est le français mais j&#8217;ai également appris à communiquer en anglais.   </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">J&#8217;aime la musique, les concerts, les arts visuels, la cuisine, la lecture, l&#8217;écriture, la photographie et les activités en plein-air. Ma grande passion pour les animaux m&#8217;a poussée a m&#8217;impliquer dans diverses causes reliées au bien-être animal. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">J&#8217;ai toujours voulu aider, soigner, sauver tout ce qui vit et plus jeune, je croyais vouloir devenir biologiste, infirmière ou vétérinaire. Je ne crois pas que ce soit une bonne idée pour moi maintenant, mais quel que soit mon futur, je sais que j&#8217;aurai toujours un moyen de faire une différence : par le biais de la senbilisation.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Ma participation à la rédaction de ce blog me donne la chance de fusionner mon amour de la composition a celui des animaux. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Je me considère comme une personne créative, sympathique et ouverte d&#8217;esprit, mais aussi timide. J&#8217;espère que cette expérience me fera grandir, apprendre et repousser mes limites.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Maintenant que vous en savez plus sur moi, bonne lecture!</span></p>
