Tuftronic10000 / CC by 2.0 Despite record low ice levels, Canadian officials seem hell bent on choking down baby seal flesh before they’ll willingly choke back their pride and denounce the seal slaughter.

Three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas is proof that one man can double-team fur industry cruelty.

Our “weapon of mass distraction” struck again today when PETA bombshell Pamela Anderson delivered a package to the mailbox directly across the street from the Vancouver office of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

wintergames.ap.org / CC Some say Olympic snowboarder Greg Bretz “won” an informal McNugget-eating contest by downing 60 blobs of fried chicken bits.
