I know a lot has been made about cruelty to elephants in general but this news was kind of a bummer. But what really bugged me when I read the article was this;
But Feld acknowledged that because so many cities and counties have passed "anti-circus" and "anti-elephant" ordinances, it's difficult to organize tours of three traveling circuses to 115 cities each year. Fighting legislation in each jurisdiction is expensive, he said.
I didn't know there were anti-circus ordinances! What? My goodness people go so overboard with things sometimes!
Which brings me to the next crazy story. This one is about the couple in Maryland who let their 6 and 10 year old walk home from the park, by themselves, a mile away. Child Protective Services is threatening to remove the children from their parents on the grounds of neglect and child endangerment. I LOVE the term they're using...free range kids. Free range. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG that cracked me up! I was a free range kid. I'm ok. Here's the link to story if you want to read it;

I saw this next story just this morning in the LA Times. It's AWESOME! I laughed and laughed! You really have read it yourself, it's pretty fun.
I've saved the best for last...This video is from a campaign called, Love Has No Labels. I swear, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside if you watch it. It made me feel good. I like it.
Check it out;
Happy Friday everybody!!
