This week there was more Thailand planning! It's incredibly exciting!
African Grey Parrot - Protected Status
African Grey's have become a protected species due to the large amount of trafficking. "Banning the trade will make it easier for law enforcement agencies to crack down on the poachers."
Montreal Pit Bull Ban Suspended
As you may know, I posted last week about Montreal's Pit Bull ban and what you can do to help. Well, the ban has been suspended. The fight is far from over, as there are still questions about what defines a pitbull. The major says "you'll know it when you see it." I'm going to have to argue that point, because there are plenty of breeds out there that are questionable, such as Boxers. They get mistaken for pits on a regular basis. Plus, there are a lot of dogs that still need adopting.
LSU - Mike the Tiger
A friend of mine was just telling me about how he remembered when Mike first came to LSU. This extraordinary cat is what LSU is all about. He is what embodies the students spirit and enthusiasm. Mike is the powerforce behind LSU football and what makes the students scream "Geaux Tigers." He is a must visit whenever in the Baton Rouge area even if you are not an LSU fan. Back in May, Mike was sadly diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma. He underwent radiotherapy treatment, but unfortunately a CT scan revealed that the cancer has spread. The LSU team will monitor Mike and make him as comfortable as possible.
VT had a by-week last weekend, but there is a family rivalry this weekend!
