On Being Right Sized:
JBS Haldane wrote:  “You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes.”  Discuss.

Perfect Pet:
Do you know someone who wants a dog, but you just aren't sure they are ready for the responsibility of taking care of a living animal? Suggest the Port-A-Pug.

The Fixer's Manifesto:
This country will be great again when we do what we did in the past:  tax the hell out of the rich and embrace the Fixer's Manifesto.

Wild Sex:
I could teach a course in this.  Seriously, I could.

A Letter of Note:
About a dog.  "Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact. We've lived in numerous houses, and joined a few makeshift families, but it's always really been just the two of us."  

Zoo Pathetic:
The life and death of Knut the polar bear.  Moral of the story:  "Rather than raising awareness, zoos might be hindering us from recognising the reality. We humans are not the Ark; we are the flood."  Bingo.

Rat Poison for the Galapagos Islands:Once again we dry to wipe rats off a few islands in order to preserve other species and natural landscapes.  Sometime this is successful, but often not.  Rats are resilient and fecund.
