Cat Found Wrapped In Duct Tape

09/23/09 - Shocking

It’s one of the more bizarre scenes of cruelty that animal safety officers have ever come across. But even this cruel and unusual punishment does not appear to have dampened this cat’s spirits. The female tan and black striped feline was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia wrapped head to foot in duct tape – that most powerful of all tapes. Lucky for her, she was spotted by a woman who promptly called the SPCA yesterday. A humane officer from the SPCA found her wandering the Rhawnhurst section of Philadelphia and carted her up to safety. The tape was wrapped around her from her neck to her tail. But – armed with a great deal of patience – SPCA officers were able to remove it completely, saying she is now doing well.” w/ photos

09/18/09 - Shocking

Piled in a macabre group, this is the chilling sight of up to 200 dead walruses spotted on the shore of the Chukchi Sea on Alaska’s north-west coast. Federal wildlife researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey on their way to a walrus tagging project spotted 100 to 200 of the animals’ carcasses near Icy Cape about 140 miles southwest of Barrow. They report the dead walruses appeared to be mostly new calves or yearlings. However, neither the age of the dead animals nor the cause of death is known, said Bruce Woods, spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.” w/ photos

World’s Heaviest Teenager

“This goes far beyond poor eating habits and laziness. This is mental illness and co-dependency. People do not get this large without there something being seriously wrong in their life. I’m not excusing the behavior, but this far beyond the average weight problem in the U.S or UK.” — Eviephenomena

09/04/09 - Shocking

A contender for the smallest dog in the world title has tragically taken its last pant aged just six months old. The Maltese pup, named Scooter, was so small he could even fit in the palm of your hand, but sadly it was just that which caused his untimely death. The sprightly pooch jumped out of his minders hands and broke his leg after landing awkwardly on the floor. The 8cm tall, 20cm long, dog received medication for the break, but sadly he developed stomach ulcers and died the following night.” w/ photo

A Gwinnett County man is in custody accused of slapping a stranger’s crying toddler in a Stone Mountain Wal-Mart on Monday. Sonya Mathews, the mother of the 2-year-old child, told police that both were walking in the aisles of the Rockbridge Road store when Roger Stephens, 61, approached and said “if you don’t shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you,” according to a police report. A few moments later, in another aisle, Stephens grabbed the 2-year-old and slapped her across the face four or five times, according to the report. Stephens then told Mathews, “See, I told you I would shut her up,” according to the report.” w/ photo

If there’s one thing a hippo doesn’t like it’s being interrupted while having lunch. This gamekeeper in Uganda runs for his life after disturbing a hungry beast having its favourite meal of grass. He fled as the angry three-ton beast – which can outrun a man – charged at him. The keeper, armed only with a walkie-talkie at the Murchison Falls National Park, somehow managed to escape on this occasion.” w/ photos
