Comments Off on Olivia Munn Gets Puppy Mill, Obedience Lesson From Cesar Millan (Video)

When Olivia Munn was having trouble with a “bitch,” she sought the advice of none other than dog expert Cesar Millan.

It wasn’t that Munn was in need of purchasing dog training classes or lessons in become the leader of the pack, she was just irate at the female animal activist sitting next to her who just wants to get rid of puppy mills.

Milan quickly gives Munn a lesson in behavior and viewers a lesson on how they should view puppy mills if they love dogs.

“Puppy Mills reflect the wrong way in America,” Millan begins. “If America is going to call itself a dog lover country, we must treat dogs humanely.”

DoSomething.org lists 11 facts about puppy mills. Most Americans would agree that housing dogs in crowded and unsantitary conditions that pave the way for illness and infection is no humane way to treat a dog. According to Do Something, “The average puppy mill has between 65 and 75 animals housed in hutch-style cages with wire floors. The waste drops to the ground below and accumulates beneath the cage where flies and other gross things fester.”

Ruff! Get ’em Cesar.

Cesar Millan “The Dog Whisperer” To Feature Wolf-Dog Hybrids

Cesar Millan will feature wolf-dog hybrids on “The Dog Whisperer” this season. Produced by breeding a wolf with a particular breed of dog like Akitas, German shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, and huskies, the wolf-dog half breed combines the genes of a wild and domestic creature, but it’s often the wild genes that are dominant, resulting in destruction to human homes and threats to safety of other creatures surrounding them.

“One thing we have to understand about a wolf, besides the primal side of them, is the physical ability,” Millan said, in an interview with The DCist. “In the jaw of a wolf is the mouth of two pit bulls. A pit bull has 750 psi, pressure, in his jaw. A wolf has 1500 psi in his mouth.”

Citing incidents where these hybrids have killed people and pets, The Humane Society of the United States urges all states to ban private possession of these animals. However, a look at wolfdogalliance.org reveals laws vary tremendously by state, from allowing hybrids to be kept as pets with a license to no regulation at all.

Pet Adoptathon with Cesar Millan

Cesar Millan, renowned dog expert and star of the National Geographic Channel’s Dog Whisperer, is the spokesperson for the Pet Adoptathon, an event taking place on May 1 and May 2 at more than 2,000 animal shelters around the world.

The event originally began as a North Shore Animal League program as a way to find homes for animals at its shelter.

The League began inviting other shelters to do the same and 16 years later, more than 300,000 animals have found homes through the Adoptathon.

Millan says the rescue effort is mutual and by inviting a shelter pet into their homes, humans live more fulfilling, happier lives.

“Millions of many wonderful animals end up in shelters each year, and adoption provides these animals their second chance at life. The act of adopting a dog creates balance and completeness in our lives by fulfilling the need in every human of contribution, if only for a moment. Really, who is saving who?”

The Adoptahon promotes the adoption of mixed breeds, called Mutt-i-grees by the organization, which make up the majority of pets that are euthanized each year.
