Where is the Pet Detective when we need him??

I don't really believe in reincarnation, but I hope it exists, because someone in Long Island is racking up some serious karma debt by dumping helpless little bunnies in public parks, schools, and roadways (!!!!). It's unconscionable :(

There's a $5,000 reward offered by the Rabbit Rescue Group for information about who is perpetrating such heinousness.

I see not-quite dead people

Meet Oscar, the lovable housecat/grim reaper who lives and works at a nursing home in Providence, RI. Oscar is a fixture at the facility, where he enjoys bathing in sunshine, playing with little balls of tin foil, and watching people expire.

Expensive classes teach dogs to behave like dogs

New York, NY - As if people don't already ridicule them enough, now apparently New York City dogs need lessons to learn to swim??!

I know the dog is not as intellectually gifted as man, but the fact that it's called the doggy paddle should suggest something. Hell, I learned as a toddler courtesy of my uncle Ron's patented Drunken River-Toss method. In fact, if you're looking for discount swimming instruction, meet me at the East River in twenty minutes, and bring a forty of Big Bear.

In memory of Hondo the Gallant

Hillsboro, OR - Anyone who's spent much time in Oregon will recognize that painting a fire hydrant to look like Old Glory was no patriotic blunder, but rather the work of some clever anarchist/performance artist/peace activist. Sadly, the collaborative anti-war performance piece masquerading as a tribute to the "gallant" fallen police dog, Hondo, is to be repainted at the request of people who prefer their flags glued to their sport-utility vehicles or printed on their bunched up undershorts.

Anarchists: 0
Logger-homophobes: 1
Damn.

Loose Cow Roams Queens Streets For Over An Hour

'Queenie' The Cow Headed For Greener Pastures After Two-Mile Chase

(AP) NEW YORK A runaway cow may be headed for greener pastures after being corralled by police following a two-mile chase through the streets of Queens.

Dubbed "Queenie," the brown and white cow was captured around 11 p.m. last night about one hour after she was first spotted roaming the streets of Jamaica, Queens.

Richard Gentles of Animal Care and Control says the cow will probably go to a farm sanctuary upstate. No one seemed to know where the cow came from. Gentles said there have been no reports of a missing cow from any of the area slaughterhouses.

In 2000, a young cow escaped from an Astoria, Queens, slaughterhouse. Her life was spared to live out on an upstate farm.

Gentles said police followed Queenie for about two miles through busy Union Turnpike and residential streets. The chase ended when the cow ran into a fenced area next to a building and police were able to block her in with their cars. Using ropes, emergency service police corralled her, and then transported her to Animal Care and Control's facilities in Manhattan.
