Without Garfield, Jon is Disturbing

There is a brilliant website that shows what Jon Arbuckle's life would be like without Garfield. It is both hilarious and a little sad/disturbing.

The All-Star game last night was bad-ass. It took 15 innings to determine where home field advantage would lie in the World Series this year, which I think proves that the players were taking this thing seriously (the All Star game often shows some poor playing as the players aren't trying their hardest).

It was fitting that the last play of the game also came down to the wire, Justin Moreau of the Twins just barely beating out the tag at home from Braves' catcher Brian McCann.

Seattle's pigeons shot with darts at risk of painful death

This pigeon is among those shot in downtown Seattle.

Someone is impaling pigeons in downtown Seattle with metal darts, and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is putting up $2,000 to help find out who.

Several Seattle residents have called PETA in the past two weeks to report seeing three injured pigeons fluttering around with needlelike projectiles — about 3 to 4 inches long — piercing their heads, said Tori Perry, cruelty case worker for the Norfolk, Virginia-based organization. The birds were spotted in the 1400 block of Third Avenue and at the corner of Third Avenue and Union Street, she added.

The darts were fired from a blow gun, lodging directly behind the birds' eyes without penetrating their brains, Perry said.

The longer the darts remain, the higher the chance for the injury to get worse and infection to set in, she said. The end result: "a very, very painful death," Perry said.

"This is just a horrifying case," she said. "Someone who would do this to an animal is a short step away from doing this to a human being."

Authorities at the Seattle Animal Shelter said they have also gotten several complaints about the darted pigeons. And, they add, it's been difficult to track and capture the birds to get them proper treatment.

"They are quite athletic, good fliers," said Don Baxter, enforcement supervisor. "They're not hanging around waiting for an officer to get close" to take them to a veterinarian, he said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Seattle Animal Shelter at 206-386-7387.
