Posted on Wednesday 20 June 2007

This is the first in a series of Albania videos. The country is not like any other European city I have been to in the past.

    Josh, the animals didn’t look so bad…Just chillin out. I’m a big animal lover and have a dog and parrot that need constant love and care. For real bad abuse you don’t need to look any further that the good old USA. Just ask PETA about the dog fighting that goes on, even at Michaels Vicks house in particular.

    The reason you don’t see as many strays in Michigan is because they are euthanized in shelters after they are picked up. Well, that and we have good sterilization programs here. I don’t know which is worse, animals that are strays and starving or animals that are dead.

    It’s a hard call to make and I’m glad I don’t have to decide.

    Love the HD version… so crisp and clean! The bear’s paws towards the end of the video really seem to say a lot with his/her’s motions… so sad.

    Was your audio being captured by a wireless mic or was that on camera? Sounded really good.

    Actually, I am not that surprised about those animal abuses in Albania. This country has many other issues, but it is really sad, that they treat animals like this.

    I agree with those who said that the US is not free from animal and human rights abuses…..

    What an excellent video. I have the feeling that your cutting, timing and filming has improved a lot over the last couple of months. May I asked how much time you have spent in cutting and producing this piece?

    And why didn’t you tell anyone in your blog about this trip? Or did I simply miss that? I was in Budapest last year and liked it a lot. And if you like Budapest, you have to go Vienna. You gonna love it.

    I saw the same thing with dogs in mexico. My mexican friends laughed at me while i took pictures of each dog i saw (towards the end i just took pictures of the ones that moved me… my computer didn’t have enough space). It just saddened me that they didn’t see the value of the life of a dog the way we look at it here in the states. They had no problem kicking the dog if it walked too close to them… even if it was on a leash. Thank you so much for this video… it really touched me.

    Hi Josh
    Great to see your travels….It has been sometime since I was in Albania. A strange and wonderful place that had been kept neatly in a box for fifty years during the twentieth century.
    Fahlamenderit…or thank you in Albanian.
