POPSSouth Korean Woman is Stoned Well I'm certainly impressed. Wow what great aim! I really shouldn't laugh, but I just can't help myself on this one. I guess they cant look for "trunk prints". Oh...and they really missed out on a great video. Maybe they'd better get another, closer camera, that elephant could make the majors someday. lol

POPSNest of Nails Believe It!! I belong to the Cornell University's Ornithological Labs Department for the preservation of Urban Birds (that's a mouthful). Anyway we hold several lab experiments annually, and the last one was called the "Funky Nests" contest. Over 10,000 entries were received from all over the globe, but this wasn't one of them, although, it should have been. You gotta love those crazy Russian Pigeons man!

POPSWater Bears Looking at water under a microscope can be fun, but sometimes it can turn your stomach. I don't care what anyone says, I like the chlorine in my drinking water. In the '40s and 50s my grandparents would take us out camping in the woods, and we would fill our canteens from the stream. Then I got my first microscope." NEVER again" I said! Ironically, they were the ones who gave me the instrument for xmas.

POPSToo Many Snakes Well, he we go again. People if you don't want your pet when it grows up, don't buy it at all. If you must get rid of it, have it euthanized . People who just can't don't have the heart to have it killed are the real problem. In some cases it's just plain laziness and/or ignorance. For instance the proverbial kittens off the bridge. But Pythons etc. in the river? Come on. These life forms do so much damage to indigenous fauna and flora it's hard to calculate. I'm thinking better laws and enforcement on bringing these darn things into the country in the first place. Comments? Please...I'd like to hear more from you.

POPSAlone Again Naturally I have been to this Zoo. I hate zoos, most aquariums and aviaries, and the idea of this poor creature facing years of loneliness in a tiny tank performing "tricks for fish" makes my guts stir. I believe this whale and it's late buddy, were captured in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, and hauled by truck to Tacoma. If you've ever been to Tacoma you know what a dump it is. I don't know why anyone would want to live there; filthy God forsaken place it is. That tank is not as big as an Olympic sized pool.

POPSKnut gets the Boot My sweet cub has reached 440 lbs at the age of two. He has become too big for his enclosue and the Berlin Zoo won't build him one. What crap. He has a loyal Fan Club who have accumulated over 21,000 signatures to try to keep him in Berlin, but it looks like another zoo will get him. It's estimated that Knut has increased the visitor numbers by 27%. The officials claim it's not about money, but the welfare of the animals. Truth be known, they just don't have enough eligible mates for him, which means no more baby bear cubs to view and that is certainly about money. What in this world isn't about the MONEY?

POPSRemember Knut? Knut the Polae Bear in the Berlin Zoo had a surprise guest the other day. Some idiot jumped into his (Knut's) enclosure in an effort to kill himself. What a dope. That bear was hand raised and may have injured the fool, but he's not that hungry of a bear to rip the the to shreds and eat him!

POPSBye Bye Bad Monkey I suppose this is a good thing, but it is still tragic. What bothers me is where did the diseased monkeys originate, with those human orientated diseases. I mean were they escapees from labs? or were they indoctrinated natually, or what?

POPSNot Ready for this Zoo Life A sad story in of it's self. But more tragic, because Flocke was such a success and now he will have to be even more closely scrutinized; probably poked & prodded, sedated, etc.because he lived.

POPSNo Country for Old Elephants Here we go folks...Keep 'em in captivity so they can die for your pleasure seeking fans: or let them be free for all to enjoy, just knowing they are still with us. Those nasty methane emitting creatures (sarcasm) Which way would you like to live? Eh? What did you say? Freedom? Hmm seems like we've had to kill to get that done before doesn't it? *note: The article also said that the infant mortality rate is double in zoos as well. Interesting too, that they live longer in a working environment as well.
