What does it mean when a guy says he's damaged goods?

Most Helpful Opinion
He's probably trying to be dark and mysterious, since actual guys who are "damaged goods" don't ever refer to themselves as being damaged goods.
Damaged goods could mean, for example, he has a mental illness like schizophrenia. Or a drug problem. Or has a compulsion to set fires. Or cuts himself. Or he has a criminal record.
But when a wannabe poser says he's damaged goods, he probably means his dad smacked him when he was a child, or his mom didn't understand him, or his last girl friend made him a miserable emo type.
What Guys Said 4
Well there's only two kinds of damage: physical and emotional. Physical, I'd say that's pretty obvious. Something happened and he's got a scar or something bad.
Emotionally would mean he's already gotten his heart broken before and he might have issues with connecting, opening up, etc.
Yeah his ex cheated on him. I was also cheated on by my ex and we found each other and kind of like bonded but I don't want anything serious yet becuase I'm tired of being hurt too. But I feel like I want to be lovey dovey with him but I'm not putting all my energy into him because I don't want to be disappointed again. But if he says he's damaged goods, does that mean I'm undateable to him? I thought we had something going on but when I told him I was happy, he made it seem as though I shouldn't
- Show Older Hide Older
> But if he says he's damaged goods, does that mean I'm undateable to him?
He doesn't see *you* as undatable, he sees himself as such.
I agree with Thiezz ^^^, it's not because of you. He doesn't want to get attached to anyone to quickly. It doesn't mean he thinks you'll cheat on him, he's just worried that he'll get attached and have his heart broken again. Just give it time.
Could mean a lot of things.
Could mean he was in a relationship and it really screwed him over and so he's got a negative mindset toward such things.
Could mean he is just using you for sex and using that as an excuse to not be in a relationship with you, but still get the sex.
Could mean he doesn't really think you're interested so he's stealing himself against your possible rejection by thinking to himself negatively or something. That one might seem weird, but I've seen it. Confused the f*** outta me from my guy friend.
But ya, there are various reasons. Hard to say for sure.
grr, need to proof read, meant "steeling himself"
But if he's been cheated on than ya, I can understand him better now. It's him just being protective. If you really wanna help him stay in contact, keep helping him, show him how much you care.

In the past I've praised Jon Stewart, a liberal, for being an outstanding comedian and satirist. I watch his program and, despite being a conservative, I generally count myself a fan of it. But for Stewart's political humor to work, it has to have some basis in reality. He has to have identify a real-world absurdity in order to mock it. Which is why Stewart's recent segment on Israel and Hamas was unfunny, not the least bit clever, and even irresponsible (a point I'll return to in a moment).
Mr. Stewart asserted that both sides–Israel and Hamas–are engaging in aerial bombardment. But because Israel is more effective at prosecuting the war, and because more Palestinians than Israelis are dying, Israel is the more guilty party. It's framed as an example of moral equivalence, but with Israel more morally culpable because of the "asymmetric" nature of the conflict.
This is moral lunacy.
You would never know from watching Stewart that Hamas is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state (and says so in its charter); that Hamas started the war; that Hamas wants to escalate the war; that Hamas has refused repeated ceasefires; and that Hamas is using innocent Palestinians as human shields by, for example, using hospitals and schools for military purposes. You would never know, in other words, that Hamas has a vested interest in more dead Palestinians, precisely in the hopes that people like Jon Stewart will make Israel out to be the more malicious of the two combatants. And when Stewart ridicules Israel for warning Palestinians to evacuate before the IDF strikes military targets in Gaza–"Evacuate to where!?"–he is displaying (at best) an embarrassing ignorance. Israel actually drops leaflets with maps indicating where residents of Gaza can go–specific sites–where they'll be unharmed. So Israel is instructing Gazans to leave dangerous combat zones. And what about Hamas? It's urging Gazans to stay. Why? In order for them to be killed.
Mr. Stewart, whenever he's confronted with his errors and misleading segments, will invoke the excuse that he's merely a comedian, so it's absurd to judge him in the fashion we judge political commentators. Except that he's not "merely" a comedian, and he knows it. Mr. Stewart actually has a fair amount of influence on our politics. Members of the political class have their thinking, and even their reporting, shaped by what he says. He is, for many of them, a moral conscience of sorts. Jon Stewart knows it, and he takes advantage of it. He uses his humor to advance his ideology, to give voice to his political and moral beliefs.
Now it's true enough that Stewart is a comedian before he's a political commentator. But to say he's more one than the other isn't to say he's simply one or the other. He's a comedian who often uses comedy to make political comment. And so Stewart should be held accountable, at least within reason, for what he says and what he does.
In this instance, Stewart committed two mistakes. He wasn't funny, and in the process he showed himself to be a moral fool.

Originally written on BaySportsNet | Last updated 8/30/13
On a breezy evening in Stockton, Michael Ynoa was busy explaining just how much he enjoys pitching at Banner Island Ballpark, and for the Oakland A's organization in general. 'This is my second home." He exclaimed in his native Spanish. "I like it. I've been here since 2009, and I've already become accustomed to it." It's a long way from his first home in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. When asked if it's strange to be pitching so far away from where he grew up he responded with an emphatic: "No." The pitching prospect shares a hometown with current A's starter Bartolo Colon, but so far he has only had the chance to meet the veteran right-hander briefly during spring training. The A's snapped up Ynoa back in the summer of 2008 for a club-record signing bonus of $4.25 million. That figure dwarfed the previous record, which at the time, was $1.2 million doled out to Mark Mulder. GM Billy Beane told BaySportsNet.com's Mychael Urban (then of MLB.com) back in 2008:"You kind of run o

2006 Ford Five Hundred Q&A
2006 Ford Five Hundred Question: Cost of car repair for my Ford 500 2006: engine mount/struts
On 8/18/2011 Firestone installed new front brakes on my car but appx. 2 wks later I heard clunking/some slight grinding noise from under my hood while engaging the steering wheel, turning corners, & gliding over speed bumps. I asked at Firestone who explained it's probably my transmission fluid needs replacing. I went to Firestone to have them look and after the service mgr drove it a little & looked under the hood he stated engine mounts were shot (only three remained-one broke); he directly advised I needed engine mount bushings #3079 for front right-side. Also Struts replaced: (72256F Sensa Trac Strut)front shock/strut assembly-both replace spring/or top mount each side strut mount and end with an alignment. He printed out the recommendation but the total price for everything is $1,744.74. I've been calling around for better prices and am leaning towards doing engine-mount bushings fist because I am low on funds now, but I will get other work done soon after appx. next month. Please advise. Thank you. - Clearlynow

DAY 8 REPORT: Blankenship Pleased with Morning Scrimmage
Aug. 9, 2014
The Golden Hurricane football team practiced for 150 minutes on Saturday morning and had its second scrimmage of preseason camp, going 125+ plays on the turf at Chapman Stadium.
Head Coach Bill Blankenship walked off the field after Saturday's morning session pleased with today's practice and how the Hurricane competed.
Tulsa will have a brief late afternoon practice session in helmets and shoulder pads for their 10th practice of preseason camp. "We needed to grind a little bit today. We don't get very many days to tackle and to really get this kind of feel for it. I was very pleased that we competed well on both sides of the ball. I think there was enough give and take that you walk off the field thinking Tulsa won today," said Blankenship.
"Defensively, I thought we did a good job of holding after the offense got into the red zone. In other words, I thought the offense drove it, but didn't finish and you have to give the defense credit for that," added Blankenship. "The offense took care of the football, but the defense didn't get any turnovers. So, I think that's a concern depending what side of the ball your on."
Blankenship cited the play of two sophomores on offense after today's scrimmage. "Keevan Lucas really bounced back today, and had a better day from a couple days ago when he had some drops. That was noticeable to me. Dane (Evans) was very efficient. He made good decisions," said Blankenship.
"I think we're continuing to rally on defense. I think we're running to the ball well. I think we gave up too many big plays, but were rallying more on defense," said Blankenship. "Offensively, I thought we operated pretty well, but no really big plays."
Blankenship also indicated that junior Joseph Calcagni has moved into the No. 2 quarterback position. "Joe has moved into the number two role now. I thought when we first came back that Jabe (Burgess) kind of took a step back like freshmen do. Joe's a fourth-year guy and he didn't let the jitters get to him, and I think Jabe has a little bit. But, we're not down on Jabe at all," said Blankenship.
After one full week of practice, Blankenship likes the progress that the Hurricane has made in the first eight days.
"I didn't know where to think we'd be after one week. I think we're going in the right direction. I wouldn't say we're a good football team yet, but I'd say we're playing much better. I think we're more efficient on offense and defense. We're going in the right direction," said Blankenship.
Tulsa will return to the practice field on Monday morning.

Brotherhood and Unity Highway
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2013)
The Brotherhood and Unity Highway (Croatian: Autocesta "Bratstvo i jedinstvo"; Macedonian: Автопат "Братство и единство"; Slovene: Cesta bratstva in enotnosti or Avtocesta bratstva in enotnosti, Serbo-Croatian: Autoput "Bratstvo i jedinstvo", "Братство и јединство") was a highway that stretched over 1,180 km (730 mi) across former Yugoslavia, from the Austrian border at Rateče near Kranjska Gora in the northwest via Ljubljana, Zagreb, Belgrade and Skopje to Gevgelija on the Greek border in the southeast. It was the one and only modern highway in the country, connecting four constituent states.
Construction began on the initiative of President Josip Broz Tito, who called the project the "Road of brotherhood and unity" (Autoput bratstva i jedinstva) after the motto of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. A first section between Zagreb and Belgrade, built with the effort of the Yugoslav People's Army and volunteer Youth Labour Brigades, opened in 1950. The section between Ljubljana and Zagreb was built by 54,000 volunteers in less than eight months in 1958.[1]
Its importance caused it to be colloquially named autoput or autocesta (generic Serbo-Croatian expressions for "highway", "motorway"). This use has since largely faded out, after the successor states built further motorways.
In the 1960s and 70s the autoput became a much frequented holiday route for Turkish immigrants in West Germany and Austria (then called Gastarbeiter) visiting their original homeland during the summer vacation time, and for tourists to southeastern Europe. Entering communist but non-aligned Yugoslavia was far easier, for people from NATO countries such as Germany and Turkey, than entering any of the Warsaw Pact communist countries of the Balkan region that might have provided alternative routes.
Originally an ordinary road, the carriageway used to be congested with cars and trucks, especially in summertime, when overtired long-distance drivers caused numerous accidents. Wrecked cars usually remained in place for long periods of time, providing a grim reminder of the dangers of the highway. The situation slightly improved after some parts were brought up to modern motorway standards (two lanes for each direction plus an emergency lane) on the following sections built between 1977 and 1991:
- Kranj–Ljubljana: 20 km
- Jankomir interchange (Zagreb bypass)–Slavonski Brod (east): 207 km
- Sremska Mitrovica–Belgrade–Niš: 277 km
In 1991, several sections were affected by the Yugoslav wars, bringing severe damage, and causing the traffic to be almost completely discontinued in places.
International categorization[edit]
Since 1975, the road was concurrent with the following routes of the International E-road network:
- European route E61: Villach–Kranj–Ljubljana
- European route E70: Ljubljana–Zagreb–Sisak–Slavonski Brod–Belgrade
- European route E75: Belgrade–Niš–Skopje-Veles–Thessaloniki
Since 1994 the route is also part of the Pan-European corridor X that extends from Salzburg to Thessaloniki.
The road has been continuously upgraded. As of 2011, it is a modern motorway in almost its entire length through:
- Slovenia - the A2 motorway
- Croatia - the A3 motorway
- Serbia - the A1 motorway
- Macedonia - M-1 motorway

Check out a preview of the project Java Green M5 and some plans inside.
Here is a brief but telling clip of the F10 M5′s sounds versus that of the E92 M3. Both are powered by a V8, but the M5 features a 4.4L bi-turbo V8 pumping out 560hp while the M3 is powered by a 4.0L naturally aspirated 414hp V8. Video by, courtesy of, and thanks to ednet01.

Motortrend gets its hand on the F10 M5 for an in depth evaluation and performance testing. They achieved an impressive 3.7sec 0-60mph and 11.9sec quarter mile (@ 120.3mph).
Along the way they call the F10 M5 probably the best M5 ever, from driver feedback to all-out performance. We see their complaint about the large gap between comfort and sport mode as a positive as it means that the new M5′s range and effectiveness while wearing its many hats is better than ever.

Doobie Brothers co-founder Patrick Simmons is planning to do some rockin' down the highway after the group's summer tour ends on September 1 at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. Simmons and his wife Cris have signed up for the Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run 2014, a 4,100+ mile cross-country trip that runs September 5-21 from Daytona, Fla., to Tacoma, Wash. "Cris and I are excited and so ready to head out" on the ride, Simmons says in a statement on the Doobies's web site. "We have been working on our bikes for over a year now." Simmons will be riding a 1929 Harley-Davidson JD, while Cris, a member of the National Motorcycle Hall of Fame who finished 20th in the 2010 Cannonball Endurance Run, will be on a 1934 Harley-Davidson she's named Buddy; the couple will be raising money for Stand Up For Cancer in honor of their son, Patrick Jr., who is now free and clear of testicular cancer. The Doobies are planning a November 4 release for "Southbound," a tribute album that finds the group playing its greatest hits with a lineup of country stars, while co-founder Tom Johnston tells us the group's summer tour has been an unqualified success: "We've been on the road a lot with Boston and Peter Frampton and doing stuff on our own and working on getting this record up and out, and you name it, we're doing it...We have worked with Peter before, but only once. He was great to work with. He was a gas, and we really enjoyed the experience. Boston we really don't have any history with, so we kind of got to know them this summer, if you will."

Clinton event offers emergency preparedness tips
Tips on how to prepare for all kinds of emergencies and disasters take center stage Saturday at the second annual Anderson County Emergency Preparedness Fair.
The event, intended for the entire family with free admission, will be held from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St.
Hosted by the city, the event features more than 40 agencies with educational booths and displays. The complete list of participants is available at www.acprepfair.org.
Classes on such topics as food preservation, family disaster planning, bread baking, surviving severe weather, water safety, financial planning for disasters, and storing food and water will be offered.
Other program topics include cooking with whole grains, power outage safety, natural gas/propane safety and disaster preparedness for seniors.
"This year's lineup also features a panel of experts ranging from first responders to government officials, who will be available to answer questions from the audience during a classroom discussion," said Stan Gibert, with the American Red Cross.
A large outdoor children's area will include bounce houses, a life-size puppet show, free food and safety-related games.
The Red Cross, along with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Associated Baptist Churches of Clinton are presenting the fair. It's sponsored by Bechtel, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, SAIC and the Anderson County Mayor's Office.

Bmw f 800 gs rallycomp "x"
Hello Guys
Introduce you our last creature
The RallyComp "X" fairing kit for BMW F 800 GS
Rallycomp "X" fairing kit for BMW F 800 GS by MST
Just a tip, writing in all caps is a classic internet faux-pas. It indicates SHOUTING, and doesn't make your text any better to read.
I remedied immediately.
greetings and thanks of the Board
Shouldn't this thread be in "venders"?:huh
But it's ugly anyway.:cry IMHO
It looks like any other rally fairing, I don't think it looks bad. It looks like a rally bike. There are plenty of other mods people have done that make the bike wayyyy uglier in my opinion. Not that this is ugly.
I looks pretty well finished off and cleaned up for a beak removal, much cleaner than many of them.
No prices are posted on the thread, just introducing a new product specific to our bikes, I don't see any problems with it being here. One less forum to go look through to try and find new shiny stuff that I can look at.
After going to his website and checking the price, I looks like it is pretty comparable to replacing the factory stuff after a crash, plus getting the benefit of a new look.
Some tips for the OP. Get some better Pictures, your are really low quality, and I dont think it is doing your product justice. Also, What does the dash area look like? Is there a place to mount a GPS, rally book, phone, etc?
I have seen quite a few people on here asking for some aftermarket plastics, and this is one solutions.
Granted it would be nicer if there was a low cost alternative from somebody like acrebis or the like.
Also, provide an option for just the lower plastics without the tall headlight/fairing/windshield. That might be a bit more affordable, and also, give people options for custom lighting, wind protection etc.
I'm surprised that no one has commented on the fact that the breaklines are a "LostRider" waiting to happen...:eek1
You need a wheel faring or to re-do the breaklines so they do not get caught in the front wheel!!
Purpose built isn't always the best look. For some reason KTM pulls off that look better then most.
Front fender of sorts and it's good to go. Think of the amount of money you can stuff behind that shield
^ ^ ^ That . . .
Is it sold in separate pieces? I like the faux tank sides on the Rally kit, but I prefer the minimalist windscreen of the stock bike.
I have to admit as well it is very ugly, but likely functional over form. You do need better photos and not just multiple photos of the same angle.
between tomorrow and Sunday will be loaded with new photos .... especially on prices and the site will be all finished by the weekend ..
Are those tubeless wheels?

I did it from Memory Management in Settings one by one and it didn't work.
Does it have to be specifically from within the game?
Yes, it has to be on the Xbox 360, with Minecraft running, and one within Minecraft. The day that the Xbox One version came out, there was an updated added to the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft to add an Xbox One upload menu to the game.

A 2-month-old orange-and-white cutie who was abandoned at PETA India's office gate is looking for a loving permanent home. She is sweet and playful, enjoys naps and loves being silly. And she is very friendly and energetic.
The kitten's sterilisation and initial vaccinations will be handled or reimbursed by PETA.
Two other cats up for adoption appear to be sisters and were rescued from a busy Mumbai street when they were just skin and bones. They are approximately 10 months old and are now healthy, so this loving duo are ready for cuddles with their new family. The two are inseparable and never leave each other's side, so we are looking for a family with hearts of gold that can take both of them in. They have been vaccinated and sterilised.
If you are interested in adopting one or more of these kitties, please e-mail email@example.com. PETA is willing to transport them within driving distance or even a one-day train ride from Mumbai at our expense.

Eating vegan feels good on the inside and out. That's why some of the most famous faces in film keep meat, eggs and dairy off their plates to stay fit, eco-friendly and kind to animals. And oh, does it show. Check out which veg celebs top the list of plant-based popularity:
Aamir Khan
As one of the most influential powerhouses in Bollywood, Aamir Khan knows how to instigate change. His latest move, which took place just before his 50th birthday, makes a statement about valuing one's health – Aamir Khan now eats vegan. The producer, actor and director says that after watching a video about the 15 most common diseases and how diet can prevent them, he was convinced that going vegan was the best thing he could do for his health. They don't call him Mr. Perfectionist for nothing.
Jacqueline Fernandez
PETA's 2014 Woman of the Year and silver screen siren Jacqueline Fernandez is the definition of beauty, passion and compassion. That's because she refuses to harm animals by eating meat, eggs and dairy products. And since going vegan, Jacqueline is challenging her loved ones to take the plunge for the 40 days of Lent. What a saint!
Ayesha TakiaAzmi
Ayesha's performance in the hit thriller Wanted isn't the only thing blowing people's minds: She also spares animals' lives by eating vegan, and even got her mum and sister to follow suit. The Bollywood star explains that after learning about the way animals raised for eggs and dairy are abused, confined and slaughtered, the then-vegetarian said goodbye to eatingall animal productsforever.
Kiran Rao
Besides being a stellar producer, director and writer for cinema hits like Dhobi Ghat Kiran Rao is also vegan. Her decision to spare animal lives', reduce her carbon footprint and be kind to animals is also good for her health. That's why she lobbied for her husband, Aamir Khan to make the win-win transition.
Neha Dhupia
When she isn't busy filming hits like Rangeelay or rocking a dress made of leaves, Neha Dhupia protects animals and the environment by eating vegan. That's why the fashionable and fit filmi helped PETA launch our V-Card, which was India's first-ever discount savings card for vegans.
Richa Chadda
Richa Chadda isn't just a model-turned-actor; she's also a vegetarian-turned-vegan. After modeling a lettuce dress and becoming a mermaid for PETA's pro-veg ads, the B-town beauty decided to shed eggs and dairy for good.
Mallika Sherawat
Known for her many starring roles in blockbuster films such as Murder, PyaarKe Side Effects and Welcome,screen queen Mallika Sherawat is also a hero to animals by being vegan. "If I had to pick the very best thing about being vegan, it's my clear conscience", says Sherawat, who was also crowned PETA's Hottest Vegan in 2011.
Kangana Ranaut
After giving super hit films like Queen and Tanu Weds Manu Returns Kangana Ranaut besides being one of the finest actors of Bollywood. is now eating vegan. "Veganism as a way of life is deeply rooted in the Indian ethos. I switched to being a vegan and this has made a lot of difference in my life. I am very happy now." Says Kangana

You don't have to be all grown up to make a positive difference in animals' lives – you can put your compassion into action at any age. For 15-year-old Chianna Shah, that meant donating the majority of her earnings from sponsorships from friends and family for this year's Kolkata Marathon to PETA India. Meanwhile, her older sister at university cares for the community dogs in her residential area.
The Shah sisters have always loved animals, and we suspect that this comes from their parents who are PETA members. So when Chianna, a class 10 student at the Calcutta International School entered the 15-km race and began seeking sponsorships, she realised that the marathon was a great way to help animals who are abused and killed for food, clothing, entertainment and experimentation. Thanks to her well-wishers' generosity, she was able to donate Rs 40,500 to help us stop cruelty to animals.
In Bangalore, Chianna's older sister, Naomi, an undergraduate student, has taken it upon herself to take care of dogs who don't have homes in her neighbourhood. She even takes dogs who need medical attention to a veterinarian, because she knows how hard life is for community animals roaming the roads in search of food and shelter and often falling victim to cruel people, careless drivers or deadly diseases or injuries. That's why it's important to adopt, never buy, animal companions.
Life is full of opportunities to help animals. Join our Street Team, and we'll help you make a difference today!

Today, PETA India can announce that the Bombay High Court directed that horse carriages be phased out in Mumbai within a year. In its order, the Court deemed that the use of horse carriages in Mumbai is "completely illegal". Read the full court order here.
The victory follows many years of campaigning by PETA India, which intervened, along with People for Animals (PFA), in the Public Interest Litigation filed by Animals and Birds Charitable Trust (ABCT).
Previously, the Mumbai traffic police had restricted where and when the Victorias could be used in the city, but the numerous challans issued by the traffic police for violations over just a few months revealed the ineffectiveness of the partial ban.
PETA provided the court with evidence of cruelty to horses from its numerous investigations of Mumbai's horse-drawn Victoria industry, information about exhausted horses collapsing, and becoming victims of traffic accidents. These reports revealed that the horses were often injured, sick or severely malnourished and that they were forced to stand amidst their own waste in filthy and decrepit stables. Reports further revealed that the horses were frequently denied adequate rest, water and veterinary care.
The court's decision is supported by numerous celebrities, including Anushka Sharma, Arjun Rampal, Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, Mahesh Bhatt, John Abraham, Pooja Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sunny Leone, Dino Morea and choreographer Sandip Soparrkar and his supermodel wife, Jesse Randhawa, as well as many others who took to Twitter, met with concerned government officials or helped in other ways to rid Mumbai of horse-drawn Victorias. Thousands of people also took part in PETA's online campaign to call for the ban.
M/s K Ashar & Co Advocates & Solicitors were the advocates on record for PETA, and the group was represented in the matter by Senior Counsel Jayaprakash Sen. PFA were represented by Senior Counsel Shiraz Rustomjee while ABCT were represented by Advocate Firoz Bharucha.

As a result of a case filed by PETA India in the Madras High Court that is critical of the Tamil Nadu Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department's dog-breeding unit (DBU), a fresh inspection of the facility was ordered by the court – prompting the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) to recommend that the DBU be shut down. The inspection was conducted by AWBI-authorised inspectors from Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, the Animal and Fisheries Resources Department of Bihar and Animal Rahat – an animal-protection organisation focused on veterinary intervention.
As per a 4 August 2014 order of the court, the DBU was given three months to improve, and if it failed to do so, the court stated that the final decision on the facility's future would rest with the AWBI.
Inspectors found that many dogs at the DBU were suffering from skin diseases, pressure sores and ectoparasites and that there was also a high mortality rate – which has been an issue since the AWBI's first inspection of the facility in 2013.
Dogs at the DBU were kept constantly confined without any enrichment, and many of them showed signs of stress and depression, including a male Sippiparai named Pandy, who constantly bit the bars of his kennel.
Despite the facility's policy of "de-ticking" all animals once a week, two dogs were found covered with ticks. Many of the animals kept at the facility also suffered from dermatitis or mange – both painful skin conditions – including a Rajapalayam named Priya, who had dermatitis on her face, legs and tail.
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department claims that the DBU exists to promote breeds found in Tamil Nadu, including the Rajapalayam – which, unsurprisingly, experts agree is prone to deafness and has a shorter life span, numerous health problems and an extremely weak immune system because of deliberate breeding for certain physical traits, such as white skin and a rosy nose.
All types of dogs – pedigrees included – are frequently abandoned and end up in Tamil Nadu's severely crowded animal shelters, on the streets with India's homeless-dog community or being shuttled from house to house for their entire lives as buyers tire of them.
You can help dogs. Call for the DBU to be closed down immediately:

6 June will mark one year since elephant Sunder rescued from the Jyotiba Temple in Maharashtra by PETA, arrived at Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) in Bangalore.
And now, Sunder's life will get even better: international elephant experts Margaret Whittaker and Gail Laule were in Bangalore last week training BBP veterinarians and mahouts about the principles of the modern, humane "protected-contact" method of elephant handling, which uses rewards, not punishment, to encourage pachyderms to cooperate with humans.
Protected contact is a carefully conceived, well-researched method of elephant management in which ropes, chains and ankuses – hooked spear-like metal weapons – are never used. Instead, the experts will instruct BBP veterinarians and mahouts on using the solar-electric fence that encloses BBP's Elephant Care Centre's 49.5-hectare forested area and the steel-pipe corral built by PETA to handle the park's 15 elephants, including Sunder. PETA hopes BBP's Elephant Care Centre will become a model for elephant sanctuaries in other states.
The week ended with PETA and BBP holding a two-hour workshop on this method for senior wildlife officials of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The workshop was supported by the Project Elephant division of the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change.
Whittaker and Laule are known for their work in using positive reinforcement techniques – and never physical violence – to handle elephants. For the past 19 years, Whittaker has been a behavioural consultant for Active Environments, working with zoos and sanctuaries in Asia, Europe and North and South America, and she is currently director of elephant programmes at The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Laule, who co-founded Active Environments, developed her skills in positive reinforcement while training marine mammals.

Dr Thomas Lodi, who founded an integrative oncology healing centre in the US state of Arizona more than 10 years ago, is known worldwide for his comprehensive cancer-care programme which focuses on the benefits of raw vegan foods. Dr Lodi is a member of both conventional and alternative medical professional associations. He is licensed as a homeopathic medical doctor MD(H) in Arizona and as an allopathic medical doctor (MD) in the state of New York.

A long-term vegan himself, Dr Lodi says, "Humans do not look upon animals grazing in the field and lick their lips and neither do they salivate when they come upon the corpse of an animal … this is simply because eating animals, whether dead or alive violates human nature" .
He will be giving talks in Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore, in which he will expose the myths and lies associated with health and disease.
The talks are sponsored and organised by the following groups:

With locations in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Aurangabad and Mahabaleshwar, Little Italy Ristorante put vegetarian Italian dining on the map in India long ago. But its list of menu options that are free of meat, eggs and dairy products has vegans and those interested in vegan eating spoilt for choice, too!
Start your Mediterranean meal with an Italian tradition: minestrone soup with lots of fresh vegetables in a rich, hearty broth. If you like salads, you're in luck: Little Italy's delicious Contadina salad features leafy greens, green beans, onions, tomatoes and fresh basil tossed with extra-virgin olive oil.
No Italian meal is complete without bruschetta, which comes piled high with diced tomatoes and is topped with garlic, olive oil and oregano. If you're in the mood to indulge a bit, Little Italy's got you covered with its tasty onion rings. But for the main event, get your fill of one of the many delish pizzas, cooked in a wood-burning oven. The Zorba comes with fresh tomato sauce, mushrooms, olives and garlic, and the simple Sadu is topped with fresh tomato sauce, garlic, olive oil and oregano. And don't miss out on Little Italy's scrumptious pastas. Our favourite is the spicy All Arrabbiata, which is made with your choice of pasta and features fresh tomato sauce, garlic, chillies and parsley.
No matter what you order, Little Italy's Earth-friendly vegan menu will leave you with a smile on your face and a full belly. Now that's amore.
Little Italy also has restaurants in Nepal, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates and will soon be opening locations in China, Singapore and the Indian cities of Pune, Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru.
