Harry Potter Theme Park?!?

OMG.  Universal Studios Orlando is opening a Harry Potter Theme Park inside their Islands of Adventure Park.  Finally the wizarding world is opening for us muggles, lol.   Not only will you be able to walk around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, but you can eat at the Three Broomsticks and check out other Hogsmeade shops!  All my dreams are coming true!  The grand opening is scheduled for June 18th, 2010. 

Seriously, WTF! Woman set dogs on fire?

Disgusting, terrible, horrendous, evil.  Just some of the words that come to mind when thinking about the woman who set her dogs on fire.  A 36 year old woman, Katherine Brotherton, from Indiana admitted to police that she set her two dogs on fire, thinking it was the most humane way to destroy them.  She was angry with them for biting her (even though they look super sweet) so she put them in a plastic barrel, poured gasoline on them and set them on fire.  WTF!  That is some really messed up shit.  The dogs are recovering thank God.  Poor little lambs.  This is one miserable human being.  Do us all a favor Katherine- set yourself on fire bitch.

 

Elephant with Slippers Put Down :(

Carrying around so much weight really takes a toll on your feet.  Gay the elephant knew all about that burden.  I posted a story about her awhile back, and I thought it was awesome that the zookeepers cared for her so much to have custom made slippers for her sore feet.  Apparently, the slippers didn't help that much.  Gay was put down recently due to the uncontrollable absesses that developed on her feet.  After trying everything from consulting experts, seeking treatments and making her special shoes, the staff at the Paignton Zoo decided to end Gay's suffering.  Elephants are such beautiful creatures and I feel for the people and the animals that loved Gay for so many years.  Rest in Peace sweetie!  (photo courtesy of BBC)
