Gun Adoption of the Day: A gun shop in Fresno attempts the animal shelter approach to selling weapons by comparing them to mistreated animals in need of a good home.

I doubt I’ll ever understand Americans and their love affair with guns. I understand the history behind it, but that doesn’t make it right in the 21st Century. This commercial is despicable.

Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, But this guy has pictures to prove his story…
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.
I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
“Once on-board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first
buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.”
After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help (that’s him in the wheelbarrow).
My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”

Spent this morning at North York Civic Centre with a friend who was fighting a muzzle order for his dog Astrud. He won. Yay! Meanwhile…I discovered the beautiful architecture of the buildings that make up Mel Lastman Square. It’s a lovely place, despite the downpour. Given I rarely make the journey in Toronto above St. Clair Ave, it was a rare opportunity to see some civic architecture that’s still technically still a part of Toronto, even if it feels that it’s the North Pole…
The white one is absolutely adorable in a ridiculous sorta way…
They call them a “bonded pair” because they’re inseperable and desperately need to be adopted as a twosome. No small feat. Both were found on the streets of Toronto…now they’re in the loving hands of Toronto Animal Services.
Anyone wanna adopt these adorable creatures? Photo Credit: Pound Dogs
In other news, Toronto’s oh-so-endearing Mayor Rob Ford wants to turn Animal Services into a for-profit corporation. Seriously now. Very, very, very bad idea. Sign the petition here to send a loud and clear message that Torontonians will not have another Berger Blanc experiment on its hands.
