A Mexican wildlife sanctuary has evacuated hundreds of exotic animals to escape cartel violence near Culiacn, Sinaloa, marking one of the largest animal relocations in the country's history. 700 animals including elephants, tigers, and lions, were transported from Ostok Sanctuary 140 miles to a new refuge in Mazatln after months of armed attacks, threats, and supply shortages. A 15-truck convoy, escorted by National Guard personnel, accompanied zoo veterinary technicians and wildlife management specialists. Ostok Sanctuary is located 25 km north of the capital of Culiacn, a city that rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel have turned into a battlefield for territorial control, following last summer's arrest and extradition to the US of cartel leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
Zackery Brandon Barfield (31) of Panama City, FL was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment, a $51,000 fine, and one-year supervised release for poisoning and shooting dolphins. Barfield grew frustrated with dolphins eating red snapper from the lines of his charter fishing clients. He began placing methomyl inside baitfish to poison the dolphins that surfaced near his boat. Methomyl is a highly toxic pesticide that acts on the nervous system of humans, mammals, and other animals. Barfield recognized methomyl's toxicity and impact on the environment but continued to feed poisoned baitfish to the dolphins for months. Barfield also used a 12-gauge shotgun to shoot the defenseless dolphins that surfaced near his vessel, killing one immediately. On other occasions, Barfield shot, but did not immediately kill, dolphins near his vessel. On one trip the maniac shot an innocent dolphin while two elementary-aged children were on board, and another with more than a dozen fisherman on board. read more

Feliz Enrique was indicted with assault in the first degree and other crimes. The defendant allegedly approached a nine-year-old girl as she was playing on a Queens street and forcefully struck the child with his hand on 10 May. When a nearby, off-duty NYPD sergeant intervened with bystanders to apprehend him following the incident, Enrique allegedly bit off the top segment of the officer's right index finger. If convicted, Feliz Enrique faces up to 25 years in prison. Surveillance video captured the entire heinous incident. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. read more

#9: Hi American Unity:
At the White House last week, dignified South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa said to Dotard Trumpf with a smile: "I'm sorry we don't have a plane to give you."
The uncouth and avaricious Dotard replied: "I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it."

About 58.7 million adults had a mental illness in 2023: usafacts.org

People may argue that mental illness in the US isn't growing, but I beg to differ, whatever the root cause of it is (age-related dementia, PTSD, drug/alcohol abuse, loneliness, genetics, Trumpf anxiety) and our prisons turn into asylums.

#53: Hi Donnerboy: I have blank lines in the thread, so I apologize for jumping in. Years ago, I had to qual on automatics and revolvers annually and I owned a few legal pistols and a carbine. After I said goodbye to the last of my firearms a dozen years ago (a .357 Centennial which I kept in immaculate condition), I never looked back. I'm glad I never had to shoot anybody. A retired NYPD officer I knew became a gumshoe. His only regret after 25 years with the NYPD was that he was forced to shoot his weapon at someone. "Brian" was pissed at the suspect and kept yelling at him: "Why did 'ya make me shoot you? Why?" He only winged the perp, but he felt awful about it for years.
