Pro
Football Weekly’s Kevin Fishbain recaps the Chicago Bears second and third round
picks in the 2016 NFL Draft. The Bears traded down twice, moving from 41 to 56,
allowing 15 good football players to come off the board before they could take
one. At 56, the Bears finally drafted Cody Whitehair, a left tackle from Kansas
State who is universally considered to be the top guard prospect in the draft,
but a non-starter at tackle in the NFL because of size limitations. Jonathan
Bullard was a top 60-to-65 prospect who the Bears selected at 72.

Feeding time for 4-day-old baby mice! |

Here
at Wildlife Aid we are not species specific - we save all animals, including
these 14 innocent baby mice! A kind lady brought these mice in to us after
sneaking them out of a sure-death situation, when her employer called upon the
services of a local pest control unit. Babies of this age need to be fed a
special feed every two hours with a paintbrush, so this is what we'll do for the
next week or so! We split the group into three smaller groups and gave them to
three of our skilled orphan-feeder volunteers for a few sleepless nights
ahead!
A massive thank you to our dedicated volunteers for caring for
these little babies!

Joe
was imprisoned in a squalid cage at a roadside zoo. PETA has been working to
free Joe for years and in 2016, we succeeded.

Joe
was imprisoned in this squalid cage at this decrepit roadside zoo for 17 years.
When he was young, he was taught to perform tricks by notorious
Hollywood animal trainer Steve Martin, who has a long history of dumping
chimpanzees in roadside zoos when they grow up and get too strong to be
controlled.
And that’s what happened to Joe. He was dumped at The Mobile
Zoo, where he was confined to a tiny, rusted cage, isolated and
alone.
PETA has been working to free Joe for years, and in 2016, we
succeeded. Joe was finally released and, with the help of Save the Chimps
sanctuary, we were able to take him to his wonderful new home.
At the
sanctuary, he will have the opportunity to learn to be part of a family and
finally has enough space to climb and explore like a real chimpanzee.

People
frequently ask PETA what they can do to help stop the abuse of animals used in
experiments. Of course, we always suggest taking action in our current campaigns
against animal testing and only supporting companies that are cruelty-free. But
there are many other easy ways to make a difference.

"Politics
should be peer-to-peer, it shouldn't be a top-down lecture," says Ed Morrissey,
who blogs at Hot Air and is the author of the provocative new book, Going Red:
The Two Million Voters Who Will Elect the Next President—and How Conservatives
Can Win Them.
Though Morrissey is openly rooting for a Republican
victory (unlike many conservatives, he hasn't even joined the #NeverTrump
movement), Going Red is a deeply reported attempt to understand how different
groups of voters in different parts of the country have very different issues
and concerns. He traveled extensively to seven swing counties in seven different
states (Florida, Ohio, Colorado, New Hampshire, and more) to analyze and
understand exactly how Democrats and Republicans have connected—or failed to
connect—with residents

Homeless Puppies Rescued With Hope For Paws

This whole series of events took place before the rain and flooding in Houston. Can you imagine these puppies and other puppies being born right now what their plight is?
We stopped in front of a house and when Katie started talking about Chocolate the dog, that they had spayed and returned to the family, a light-bulb went on, well 2 of them.
This was the house of a dog that I photographed under a pick-up truck last December when we were in Houston. She was too shy to come out then, but now she was happy to visit with us. In another moment I realized that we were at the same spot where we came with Forgotten Dogs of the Fifth Ward to feed Mr. Woolsworth! It became very familiar when the toddler puppies came running out to say hello. So we were back at the house of a family who seems to have too many dogs to handle.
The first step was to retrieve the brand new puppies which were laying in a pile underneath a dog house in the yard. There were 5 tiny puppies that Katie skillfully removed. They were only a few weeks old at best. When Anna realized that the puppies didn’t have teeth yet, she knew that they had to find their mama and take her with them as they were still nursing. The problem was that she had not come out to greet us and we couldn’t find her. In the meantime the toddler puppies were providing entertainment for all!
Thank you to our partner: www.jezwater.com for all their support!
