Any description I put for this video of an English bulldog watching TV isn’t going to do justice

are not too promiscuous.

Don't be too shocked by what you see here. These fish thought the guy driving the boat sounded like

Permitted only in South Carolina, bear baying is a practice where a declawed and defanged bear is
chained to a stake while packs of hunting dogs are set upon it. An undercover investigation caught
this "training" exercise on video and has exposed the event as more of a cruel spectator sport than
legitimate training practice.

How is it possible to fly 11,000 kilometers without a single break? The record holder for long
distance flight outdoes all human-made aircraft. The bar-tailed godwit has very low energy
consumption, but this is not enough to explain its success.

Why are the police acting as 'enforcers' for the RSPCA, asks Christopher Booker. Saving the red
squirrel can be costly: RSPCA, that once-admirable charity, now often seems to pursue animal-lovers

Every now and again we will hear a story about an animal attacking and killing someone. We assume
that these are one off occurrences and that the animals that commit the act do so because they are
put under extraordinary circumstances that cause a killer instinct to kick in.
