Dog Island

This dot com site was an amusing site proposing the freeing of your dog to an island of "only dogs", where your dog may be free from the slavery or rather "leash" of human bondage. The site offered no credible or verifible testimonials,authors of articles were unknown and much of the verbage on the site bordered on the inane. The site also predominantly displayed a top banner of advertisers showcasing products for dogs, dog foods, pet insurance etc.. With some triangulization I was able to ascertain that the origninal site was an attempt to oppose (or raise awareness of) the asian practice of raising dogs for meat as many of the references in the original website referred to the Dawn Fine Breed Meat Dog Center, a Chinese company that raises dogs for meat. These references have since been changed. Here is a link to the original page DOGISLAND.
The real Dog Island, an actual island off the gulf coast of Florida is currently predominantly owned by a private organization known as Nature Conservancy, which works to conserve the natural environment of native plants and animals by preventing commercial or industrial development in conserved areas. The Nature Conservancy, is however, not currently allowing 2500+ formerly domesticated dogs to live out their dream.
