Burnt Offerings

Anyone care for a BBQ? It's strange that some of those animals (goats, rabbit, pig, even buffalo) are somewhat commonly eaten and it's no big deal but because they were in a zoo it becomes verboten.

I remember reading about a college student who bought a mouse and announced he would kill it (I think he said he was going to crush it, but he didn't really have plans to go through with it), the town was in an uproar, the newspapers ran with the story, they even threatened this guys life. In the end he returned it to the pet shop and one of the "animal lovers" bought the mouse and gave it a good life, however he left all the other mice in the shop destined to be snake food.

I put animal lovers in quotes because the crazy, insane "animal lovers" would have you believe if you even so much as keep animals as pets you are an evil, slave keeping monster and couldn't possibly love animals and if you eat animals you are a murderer. Obviously, I don't agree.

Good Morning!

Man wakes after nearly two decades in coma, greets mother. His daughter was born shortly after his accident and is now 19 years old and they are meeting for the first time. You don't hear stories like this very often.
