Maryland has approved a type of birth control for deer at $1,000 a pop. No worries -- the state says it cannot imagine it ever being used, not only because of the cost, but because it makes the deer meat a potential health hazard. To be clear, hunting of all kinds is a money-maker for the state in the form of both license fees and taxation of goods and services, as well as a source of millions of pound of meat. Birth control for deer, on the other hand, is a massive tax loss and a waste of meat. Access to Gonacon, the deer birth control, will be sharply restricted by license. Think zoo populations, not open range.
A dachshund wearing chain mail: because you know this dog rocks the look and needs the protection.
Charles Dickens had a cat named Bob, and when it died he had a paw cut off and turned into a letter opener. Taxidermists could make money doing this with dogs, I think.
Ever wonder what it looks like inside a black bear's dirt den? Here are the pictures. Not said: black bears mostly live on acorns and other mast in the Eastern U.S., and the large trees that provide the nuts also tend to supply the dens. Yep: most black bears den in hollow trees, and often pretty high up where they remain dry and warm. Dirt dens often fail on both accounts -- just ask any groundhog or fox.
Stetson® Hats Suck. That is not a question -- it is a statement of fact. I used to think well of the company until they sent this letter out to this fellow. Of course, he had the last laugh with some small hilarity ensuing. Added bonus: the article is going everywhere.
Foreign Orchestras on tour in the U.S are little more than immigration frauds with reeds and brass mouthpieces. The New York Times explains.
The chain mail is cute, but does the owner have any idea how much that stuff pulls hair? Poor puppy.
