Horses Fed Viagra in Illegal Italian Horse Betting Scheme

29 01 2008

horses-fed-viagra-illegal-racing

Gees, it seems like just a few days ago that I posted about Greyhounds being fed Viagra to improve their racing performance in Ireland, now it’s horses in Italy.

Two vets and a pharmacist were among 24 people arrested by police in Naples yesterday over claims that they fed Viagra to horses running in illegal races to make them go faster.

The arrests were part of a wider investigation into clandestine racing and betting in southern Italy. Police said horse owners and jockeys had also been arrested during the latest raids.

Prosecutors in Naples have been trying to stamp out illegal horse racing, which takes place on public race courses after hours and attracts hundreds of gamblers. Stolen horses are often used. Some are fed powdered Viagra or other stimulants to improve their performances.

Greyhounds Run Faster After Being Fed Viagra

18 01 2008

We have a few other posts about Viagra being fed to animals.

Usually the Viagra is fed animals for breeding, > What Do Porn, Viagra, and Giant Pandas Have In Common?

sometimes under the guise of aiding the dog’s health > Viagra For Your Dog’s Lung Disease?

in at least one case, a dog overdosed > Dog Overdoses On Generic Viagra?

sometimes the Viagra legitimately saves a dog’s life > Dog Eats Viagra To Stay Alive!

 

Today’s post is none of those.

This time, dog owners feed Viagra to their greyhounds in order to better their chances of winning a race!

greyhound-track-dogs-fed-viagra-run-faster-viagra

 

That wonder drug of our age, Pfizer’s Viagra, (Sildenafil citrate) has been found to have some unusual properties - quite independent of those for which it was originally introduced.

It can, apparently, make greyhounds run faster by increasing their blood pressure and heart rate.

The State Regulator of Greyhound Racing in Ireland, according to the Irish Independent, has banned its use from the racetrack after hearing that trainers were using it as a performance enhancer (their dogs’ performance rather than their own).

Viagra For Your Dog?

9 01 2008

Did you know that Pfizer’s Sildenafil citrate (the active ingredient in Viagra) is approved for lung disease by the US FDA? It’s marketed with the name Revatio. That’s probably why you hadn’t heard the news. It’s not for all lung disease, but for pulmonary arterial hypertension in the lungs.

Anyways, I did not know that dog owners are treating their dog’s lung disease, (yah right, so why is Rover humping everything that moves? LOL) with Revatio either by getting Revatio from their vet or maybe just buying Viagra online, who knows?

Well, I had heard of some dogs receiving Viagra. There was one story about a dog that needs Viagra in order to stay alive and another story about a dog that overdosed on Viagra. :D

dog-viagra-chase-hot-babe

Related to the overdosed dog, someone poses this question “Would you advise giving viagra to your cat or dog just to see what they would do?” on answerbag.com. duh!

 

 

Medicines like Amoxcillin for infections and even Viagra, for heart problems. “Viagra, it’s for hypertension on the animals,” says Pikes Peak Pharmacy manager Margaret Atencio. advice-viagra

 

“Americans have started medicating their dogs as much as they medicate themselves. Vets will prescribe mostly human pharmaceuticals like steroids for inflammation, antibiotics for infection, anti-clotting agents for heart ailments, Prozac or Valium for anxiety, even the impotence drug Viagra for a lung condition!” - dogadviceblog.com

 

 

Oh well, it’s a dog eat dog world, huh?



What Do Porn, Viagra, and Giant Pandas Have In Common?

17 11 2007

This is another one of those “believe it or not” Viagra posts.

The Giant Panda is an endangered species with only about 1600 remaining in the wild; most of those live in the wet dense forests of the Minshan mountains in China.

giant-panda-given-viagra

Nature did not have in mind for the Giant Panda to be numerous on our planet. The males have a 30-second mating session limit, for some reason, duh, and that’s in the wild. In captivity, the males seem to completely lose interest in mating.

However, wildlife experts have varying theories. First, they thought maybe the Giant Pandas in captivity had simply forgotten how to mate, (now who’s the dummy?).

“Zhang Hemin, director of a panda center in China’s central province of Sichuan, told the Wen Hui Daily that the captive animals simply may not know how to have sex anymore.” - salon.com

The wildlife experts theorized that if they showed the Giant Pandas some videos of other Giant Pandas mating, that their memories would come back.

“around the age of six — they are now routinely given ringside seats to panda porn as part of their initiation rites…When Didi turned six on Tuesday at the China Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center in Wolong, he sat eyes glued in front of a screen that showed a video of two giant pandas mating,” - CNN.com

This did not work, surprise, surprise.

Next, the wildlife experts theorized that forcing the males to have bigger, longer lasting erections might do the trick so they gave them Pfizer’s Viagra.

So, the male Giant Pandas had giant penis’, but still no love for sex.

Dog Overdoses On Generic Viagra?

12 11 2007

viagra-overdose-dog

A male dog in Chengdu, Sichuan, was fed generic Viagra and then made to mate with three female dogs in a single day. Evidently it was just too much love for Fido as he had to be taken to the hospital where he received an intravenous drip.

Wang, the owner of the handsome stud, is busy every breeding season and does well financially from breeding her male dog. However, this breeding season Wang was determined to increase profits.

“Wang, the dog’s owner, has been very busy since mating season arrived. Her dog is considered handsome, and many owners of female dogs want her dog to sire puppies with their pets. Wang can earn more than 1,000 yuan ($128) per breeding session, so in order to boost her earnings she fed her dog generic Viagra and made it mate with three female dogs last Sunday. The effort was apparently strenuous enough that the dog had to be taken to hospital.” - chinadaily.com

Pfizer Tortures Beagles, But Viagra Saves Wild Animals

4 11 2007

Many times in life we have to give something in order to get what we want. Nothing is free; we can not create energy, only change it’s form.

Pfizer’s Viagra, (Sildenafil citrate, anti-impotence drug), has given men with erectile dysfunction a sex life of which they had previously only dreamed. For most of these men, their impotence, lack of being able to get an erection, caused serious emotional damage. They felt like only half-a-man, incomplete, and not “a real man”. And to a certain extent, they are correct. If you are a women, would you date a man that can not get an erection? No sex, no fun, and no kids to form a family; not very appealing to most women.

But the hundreds of thousands of miracle erections has not come without a price. In order to fully test their anti-impotence drug, Pfizer needed to carry out experiments on the penis’ of beagles, (Pfizer Admits Mutilating Dogs’ Genitals). Many people thought this to be cruel.

The flip side is that Pfizer’s Viagra has save tens of thousands of wild animals from the slaughter houses simply because there is less demand for wild animal body parts that were being marketed as anti-impotence substances.

In fact, some researchers in Canada estimate that worldwide trade for some species has fallen by more than 70%. Frank von Hippel of the University of Alaska and his brother William at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, analysed data on three legally traded species used in traditional medicines:

  • Alaskan reindeer
  • hooded seals
  • harp seals

Dog Eats Viagra To Stay Alive!

25 10 2007

Once in awhile I need to do something here other than report about Viagra spammers and scammers, and make jokes about Viagra erections, so this story is our good deed.

The dog in the picture below, Ingrid, had her heart damaged by heart worms to the extent that she needs Viagra continually in order to dilate her arteries to allow sufficient blood to flow for her survival.

 

dog-ingrid-viagra-heart

 

“Ingrid was rescued in April by a Long Island animal shelter after being near death from heartworms. A vet suggested giving Viagra to Ingrid to keep her blood vessels open.” - itchmo.com

 

The icctmo.com site is asking for donations. The story was covered by wnbc.com, so I assume it’s not a “donation scam”. Judge for yourself tho.

 

 

Goodnight,
