Is there a toll-free number when I can call and get the reward for telling them he has obviously moved back home in Florida?

A bald eagle broke into an H&R Block in Virginia Beach, and it's the most American thing you'll see all day

A bald eagle was seen "hanging out" in an H&R Block in Virginia Beach after breaking through a window of the building.

Ali Weatherton, a reporter for local news station WVEC, posted a video of the unsuspecting eagle perched on the window of the building.

Bald eagles sightings were rare in the past, as the birds of prey were at the verge of extinction due to habitat destruction, illegal shooting, and food source contamination, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

I'm glad the eagle appears to be okay, you know, sometimes birds fly into windows and die. And I guess a Bald Eagle can break windows being so big as happened here.

@TomSea
Almost eighty years ago, a bald eagle provided a pair of classic mishaps on live old-time network radio:

The Fred Allen Show, "An Eagle Gets Loose in the Studio" (NBC, 20 March 1940)
Texaco Star Theater with Fred Allen, "The Eagle is Back" (CBS, 20 November 1940)

Tiger shark chomps on inflatable board, chases paddleboarders to shore in Hawaii
By Don Sweeney
December 04, 2019 10:41 AM

Beaches are closed on Maui after a 10- to 12-foot tiger shark bit a paddleboard Monday, throwing a 57-year-old man into the ocean, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources says in a release.

Larry Oberto had been turning to go back to shore after spotting the shark about 10 a.m. when it bit the back of his inflatable stand-up board, instantly deflating it, Hawaii News Now reported.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article238031214.html

Then this, translated. It might not make news here but this sounds absolutely terrible near the island of Guadalupe.  Apparently, there is film of this, "GRAPHIC" photos at link, so a disclaimer, yes, the shark bled to death. This is their nature, I'm very sorry this tragedy happened.

Minutes of panic on Guadalupe Island: a white shark bled to death in a tourist cage



....

Every year, thousands of intrepid tourists visit and descend in cages at the bottom of the ocean to interact with the towering squats and see them in their habitat. A fascinating natural spectacle, which only two months ago left, however, terrifying images.

This was denounced this weekend by environmental activist Arturo Islas Allende, via a video on Twitter. The recording captured the moment when a white shark rammed a cage of tourists, and died trapped and bled to death between bars.

Tourists going down to watch the shark, okay, they need better cages so this won't happen.

Jogger Slaps Georgia TV Reporter’s Behind Live On-Air
December 8, 2019

Reporter Alex Bozarjian from WSAV-TV was on air with joggers as they ran past her at the Savannah Bridge Run 10K Saturday, when a man in a hat and sunglasses appeared to smack her as he ran past, video shows.

Bozarjian appeared stunned before composing herself and continuing her broadcast. She later tweeted:

DMV made a woman walk without her cane before it would renew her license. She fell and broke her wrist
Bruce Vielmetti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel


MILWAUKEE, Wis. — A Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles worker told a 78-year-old woman she had to walk across the room without her cane before she could renew her license.  Under protest, the woman complied, and in the process fell, broke her wrist and was denied renewal. ...

Her husband, Ronald Wobschall, objected and asked the examiner how walking without her cane related to his wife's license renewal. The examiner insisted, and Mary got up, without her cane, and tried to follow orders.

She fell and broke her wrist. The examiner denied her renewal and gave her a form saying she would need a general medical examination "due to fall at DMV + confusion" before she could renew.

Wobschall had surgery on her wrist. She died four months later, from other causes. ...
Rest of story via MSN
Confusion?! She's lying on the floor in pain with a broken wrist because this DMV numnutz made a woman with two knee replacements walk without her cane. The family is suing the state.

CBS News Touts Going Meatless After 2030 To Avoid Climate ‘Crisis’

Climate Change Dispatch by by Joseph Vazquez on Dec 13, 2019

https://climatechangedispatch.com/cbs-meatless-2030-climate-crisis/

Quote
It looks like livestock production is contributing to climate change and we need to hit “peak meat” by 2030 to avoid an “ecological disaster.” At least, that’s the idea CBS News is touting from “scientists.”

In a bizarre Dec. 12 article headlined “World must hit ‘peak meat’ by 2030 to avoid climate crisis, scientists say,” CBS News reported that “in a letter published in the Lancet Planetary Health, more than 50 scientists recommend setting 2030 as the peak year for meat consumption, after which it needs to drop dramatically.”

Stranger still, CBS summarized the letter’s claims in the beginning paragraph, suggesting, “With livestock production contributing to climate change, people need to drastically reduce how much meat they eat to help stave off ecological disaster, a group of scientists warn.”

So, does this mean we all need to become vegans now?

This little piggy went to court: German piglets 'sue over castration


Berlin (AFP) - Little piggies go to market, but in Germany they also go to court.

In a legal first, animal rights activists have asked Germany's top court to ban the practice of castrating young male pigs without anaesthetic -- with the piglets themselves listed as the plaintiffs.

The painful procedure has become increasingly controversial in Europe and has been banned in Sweden, Norway and Switzerland.

Farmers argue that the castration of piglets a few days after birth is necessary to prevent "boar taint", the occasional occurrence of a foul smell when cooking pork from male pigs past puberty.

I am really starting to foster an extreme extreme dislike of animal rights activist. 

Just think if every $ wasted at PETA and ASPCA was re-directed to local pet shelters.  Now that's a Christmas wish.
