PETA Delivers Humorous Video to Discourage Octopus Farm Via Terrible Curse
A new campaign by PETA U.K. aims to discourage the consumption of octopuses with the release of a funny parody video, which was just released. Created by Grey London, the video uses dark humor with a sci-fi theme to elicit laughter rather than tears. Let’s face it, most anti-cruelty campaigns are tear-jerkers that make people squirm and quickly change the channel.

Unusual Black Lynx Seen in Canada is Believed to Be the First of Its Kind
The surprising report of a black lynx seen in Canada has got people speculating about its unusual coloring. There are considered to be four different types of lynx. They are the Canada lynx, the Iberian lynx, the Eurasian lynx, and the bobcat, as they’re referred to in the U.S. For the most part, they differ very little in coloring, other than during the winter months when Canadian lynx turn a lighter shade with more of a gray and creamy white included in its fur, rather than reddish tan, which helps it to blend in with its snowy...
