Quoted: A cloned Turkish Angola kitten, left, gives off a red fluorescence glow while an ordinary one appears to be green in this picture taken under ultraviolet light at a laboratory of Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province, Wednesday. The cloned cat’s genes were modified with a fluorescent protein.

whoa! and happy new year everyone!

Quoted: Bay Area postings on Pounced.org, a dating site for scruffy puppies and friendly foxes, outnumber those from any other region. The Internet Furry Proximity Locator, a geographic site that plots furries by zip code, identifies Northern California as a national hotspot.

btw, this dog has to die so the dog in the last dot can win the ugliest dog title this year.

Quoted: A two-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix dog was named the world's ugliest dog on Friday. The winner, named Elwood, came in a close second last year at the ugly dog contest at the Marin-Sonoma County Fair. This year, however, he easily beat his opponents, much to the delight of his owners.

Quoted: Staff at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon, have taken a novel approach to fundraising as they turn their pigs into painters. Their miniature pigs have been creating works of modern art which sell for up to £16 each and have so far raised more than £150 for the Farm Crisis Network charity.

Quoted: Suicide Food is any depiction of animals that act as though they wish to be consumed. Suicide Food actively participates in or celebrates its own demise. Suicide Food identifies with the oppressor. Suicide Food is a bellwether of our decadent society. Suicide Food says, “Hey! Come on! Eating meat is without any ethical ramifications! See, Mr. Greenjeans? The animals aren’t complaining! So what's your problem?” Suicide Food is not funny.

lol! and ewwwwww!

Quoted: For the sake of fashion, animals are trapped, drowned, or beaten to death in the wild and gassed, strangled, or electrocuted on fur farms.

it's so easy to dismiss anti-fur activisim as extreme left-wing hippie pothead politics that some celebrities use as some sort of pr stunt. what i don't understand is, with all the information available why all of a sudden it's hip to wear fur again. if anyone considers themselves a thinking person at all, at least try to read the facts of how fur is harvested. and then decide, really, is the kind of cruelty carried out by the fur industry absolutely necessary to justify manufacturing something that has a much less cruel alternative. perhaps admitting that makes some people feel like a weenie, but a little humility doesn't hurt when you consider exactly what the animals have to go through right up to their painful death.

Quoted: Scientists have discovered an extinct animal the size of a small squirrel that lived in China at least 125 million years ago and soared among the trees. It is the earliest known example of gliding flight by mammals, and the scientists say it shows that mammals experimented with aerial life about the same time birds first took to the skies, perhaps even earlier.

prehistoric squirrel melts!
