Posted at 10:48 AM on 08 May 2008 Think the twisty tale of the Bonneville Dam sea lions can't get any twistier? Think again! The six sea lions that were reported to have been assassinated over the weekend were not in fact killed by gunshots, officials now say. The cause of death is still unknown; human involvement has not been ruled out, but investigators are also considering the role of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or panic. ...

By a Whisker Northwest sea lions granted stay of execution		24 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:03 PM on 24 Apr 2008 Sea lions all set to gobble their last salmon supper at a Northwest dam have been granted a stay of execution by a U.S. appeals court. Judges granted an injunction, requested by the Humane Society, that a lower court had denied last week. It's only a partial victory for the Humane Society, however, as the court did OK the transfer of the whiskery rascals to zoos and aquariums; state officials planned to ...

Posted at 5:17 PM on 21 Apr 2008 PETA thinks the idea of test-tube meat looks like a million bucks. Literally.

Pet Scan Cats and dogs contaminated with chemicals, says study		21 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 9:18 AM on 21 Apr 2008 Fido and Fluffy are contaminated with higher levels of toxic chemicals than humans are, according to a report from the Environmental Working Group.

That's Babar-ic! South Africa to resume elephant culling despite criticism		26 Feb 2008	News
Posted at 8:49 AM on 26 Feb 2008 South Africa announced it will resume killing elephants in May for the first time since a 1995 ban on the practice. Wildlife officials argued that culling is necessary to reduce elephant populations in the country due to their impacts on vegetation and other species; the number of elephants has more than doubled since the ban to about 20,000, which wildlife managers consider unsustainable ...
