celebrate shelter pet's day!

most of us are proud guardians of a shelter pet or two (or three, or four).  today the shelter pet project is promoting adoption by smashing the negative stereotypes associated with adopting from shelters, that our pets are every bit as lovable as any other.

if you have facebook go to the shelter pet project's page and upload your pet's photo and adoption story to their wall.  spread the word that love can be found anywhere, even behind cage bars.  (and that kind of love can be the best kind of all.)

geese again - this time it's vilas

the great goose-debate of 2010 - it's not over yet.  and now another park's feathered inhabitants may be on the chopping block as well.

bill lueders reports that there is growing discussion by the vilas park waterfowl advisory group of using lethal methods to control the park's goose population.

once again, the powers that be say they "want everyones' opinion" on the matter.  apparently we didn't hear us last may.  how's this?  HONK!  don't kill 'em!

mission impossible kittehs

bet we could get lucy to climb a wall, too....if there were donuts involved.

charges dropped against accused miami cat killer

tyler weinman was charged with the brutal killing of 19 cats in miami last year.

on thursday it was confirmed that the miami-dade police department have dropped their case due to a lack of scientific evidence.  they felt the circumstantial evidence was not strong enough to go to trial.

too bad for him the court of public opinion has already spoken.  

dogs smarter than cats?

a new study is saying that dogs are smarter than cats. really?

madcat managed to obtain a photo of the researcher who collected the data. i think we might need a second opinion on this one.

gud thing the jury's still out on science.
