Montreal Canadians to Canadian Seal Pups

Being away for a little over three weeks and not reporting on any PETA related stuff has been ok. But one thing that's been on my mind is those Canadians. What are they doing about their little sealing problem? Well, i don't know what they're doing, but i know that PETA is trying to do whatever they can to get Prime Minister Stephan Harper to stop all sealing. Even if it means buying a hockey team.
The owner of the Montreal Canadians is thinking about putting the team up for sale, and right away PETA has ideas. Maybe buying the team just for a week and calling then the Canadian Seal Pups will let people listen and aware of the cruelty in sealing. But who knows? Maybe not.
I think that the most difficult thing for PETA to do is try to stop something that has been around forever. Some people may just live for sealing, but others may be highly against it. Going in and trying to stop tradition may be a little bit more difficult than what they thought. Good luck PETA.

Saint Louis Zoo

Saturday morning, a gorilla at the Saint Louis Zoo was found dead in his cage. The accident was very unfortunate. The gorilla was supposedly strangled by one of the ropes in his "home" after he separated it and became tangled up in the mess. This gorilla was a lowland gorilla and from the facts, lowland gorillas live to be at least 50 years old. It's sad that this misfortunate event happend, considering that this young primate of 8 years old.
Adding to the bad news, about two weeks ago another gorilla in the exhibit died. Investigators are still not positive of the cause of death.
Along with the gorillas, there's also many other animals at the zoo right? Yes.
Not too long ago, tow of the elephants were diagnosed with a deadly type of herpes. One elephant is very ill and the other has shown no sign of illness other than a few small symptoms.
