So if you lived in the heart of Cape towns wine country would you let a little monkey business run you out of your house?
Would you go as far as selling your house to get away from a few baboons? I mean the baboons were there first, it’s not like you didn’t know they were there when you moved in. Heck, maybe since you moved into the baboons area you should leave and let them have their area back.
Well, the people in that beautiful area are being not just bothered by the baboon neighbors, these animals are breaking into homes, tearing off roofs, chasing people (even chasing people that are inside of their house). To top it off, the baboons are going into the grape feilds and not just eating all the good grapes, they are eating the fermented grapes. That means these people have drunken baboons running around. I have seen many drunk people that acted like monkeys but, those people were not armed with huge fangs.
At one point the people had been using bang sticks to run the menacing primates off but, that is no longer working. The baboons know that the people with sticks are no match. The baboons are also protected so, people can’t just start shooting them.
You can see who was traumatized by a gang of baboons in their own home and how the people are working with wildlife authorities to use a program to protect the humans while giving the good baboons a chance. So check out the full story at Drunk baboons plague Cape Town’s exclusive suburbs.

I was reading last night about a man in Estancia, New Mexico that had been picked up by the police for a mental evaluation. After the police had him in custody they then went to his home to check things out and found a mess. The man is an animal hoarder.
He had at least 30 cats, 22 dogs (one of which belonged to a neighbor), a duck, rats, snakes, and gerbils. The man even had dead dogs in a freezer. It sounds as if most if not all of the animals will have to be put down because of illness. I do hope the dog that is

Circus’s in Australia seem to be up against some of the same things that the ones in the USA are…The banning of animals in traveling shows or circus’s. In the USA The Ringling Brothers Circus has faced all types of challenges when it comes to having animals acts.
In Australia The Lennon Brothers Circus is finding itself banned from having exotic animals on land owned by the Ipswich City Council. The circus has been around for over 117 years. The owners claim they will be collecting signatures to repeal the ban or try to stop other areas from adopting the same type of ban. But, the circus can

I’m sure you have all heard of a Tweet Up where people that may know each other on Twitter all plan to meet at an event. Sounds fun but, what happens when so many of the people at the event have dogs and you find out that everyone wishes they could have brought their pup to meet friends?
Only one thing to do…Have a Doggy Tweet Up or in this case it was Yappy Hour.
It was all set up by Vegas Rock Dog . The event was held on the dog friendly patio of Espresso Culture & Cuisine. They offered the humans drink specials and great service.

Just last week I wrote a post about a terrible event that has been taking place in South Caroline called Bear Baiting. My post Bear Baying (cruelty) in South Carolina led to under cover footage of a bear being so mistreated that it could bring a grown man to tears. In fact I even wanted to hunt down law makers in South Carolina and find out why this type of “contest” would even be legal in their state. Ok truthfully, I wanted to smack them in the head to see why they had let this crap carry on. Now, I can calm down a bit. At least some in
