World: Your life sucks less than this: Bear with its head stuck in a jar

  • Poor guy! For the last two weeks, this Canadian bear has been wandering around the forest with a jar stuck on its head. Jokes aside, this is really scary for the guy, because he can’t eat, drink or anything. Animal control has been trying (and failing) to help him out. Some argue that this is a perfect example of the humans having unintended consequences on the environment. Because, really, who wants to see a bear in such an awful situation? source

Offbeat: Man impersonates female vet, almost gets away with it

  • Danielle Smith ≠ Daniel Tyce. Tyce, of Atlantic City, N.J., ran an animal clinic, but he didn’t have any of the credentials he claimed he did. He’d drive around in a vehicle labeled “Animal Cruelty Investigations” with an assistant and would inoculate animals and set up adoptions dressed up like a police officer. No clue why he had to do all this pretending to be a chick. source
