The woman was just trying to do a kind deed - maybe she's just a ramp shy of a cloverleaf. At least the poor bobcat didn't die a long, lingering death.

Any surprise here? China has no concept of human or civil rights.

Sorry, but that thing isn't going to catch on as a pet. I'll stick with cats, thank you.

Fines alone won't correct unethical behavior by companies unless they are HUGE. Otherwise the CEOs will just take fines into account when calculating profit and doing their dirty business. Any punishment will have to hit not only their bottom line, but their ability to do business. And, of course, any rules to guide businesses away from ill dealings must not have any loopholes.

The description of Asheville, NC failed to mention another good reason to visit that city: BEER! Asheville has a lot of great breweries, and reasonably-priced hotels that are in walking distance. If you are a beer connoisseur snob enthusiast, Asheville is a must - at least once a year.

Dolphins, whales, seals, walruses, sea turtles, etc. all pee in the ocean. Why can't we?

Indeed - just planting trees won't prevent disastrous climate change. It's always good to plant trees, but a) you have to plant the right trees in the right location, and b) you have to plant them correctly so they will grow.
