Today's Animal Headlines

From the Washington Examiner:

Dog Returns After Adventure, Neutering

Seems a little redundant. The dog's name is "Happy"...or at least it was "Happy".

From London:

New Dinosaur Found in Basement of British Museum

I guess Darwin was right.

Paul McCartney's former wife Heather Mills thinks we need a substitute for cow's milk:

Animal rights activist Heather Mills is urging people to drink rat's milk to save the planet. The Evening Standard says Mills gave what it called a rant in London's Hyde Park — to promote a new billboard ad campaign touting vegetarianism. She suggested there are better alternatives to drinking cow's milk — "Why don't we drink rat's milk or cat's milk or dog's milk?"

You've got to milk a heck-of-a-lot of rats to get enough for a decent sized glass. I'm guessing her idea won't take off.

And then from Special Report, a little info about the founding member of PETA:

If you have ever wondered about the inspiration for those exotic publicity stunts from PETA — the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — here are some facts about its president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk.

An HBO documentary on Newkirk and PETA reveals she is a pragmatic loner who avoids romantic relationships — and was sterilized while in her 20's over the belief that having children was selfish — given all the orphans in the world.

The documentary says Newkirk's will orders that her body parts be barbecued after she dies in order to remind people what it is like to roast animal flesh.

Mmmmmm. I bet she'd be pretty good with a tall frosty glass of rat's milk.
