Finch-fighting rings

Finch-fighting rings are popping up across the United States. Authorities busted too such rings last month.

People place bets while they watch the birds kill each other. Much like dog fighting and rooster fighting.

Finch are tinny little song birds from South America. In nature finch don’t fight too the death. But like any animal when their caged and frightened they will fight for their survival.

Anyone who can participate in animal blood sport should be considered a dangerous person.

Polar Bears are a relatively new Bear species

Polar Bears are relatively new arrivals on the evolutionary scene. After studying the DNA from a 120,000 year old Polar Bear, researchers have discovered that Polar Bears split from Brown Bears around 150,000 years ago. That was in the late Pleistocene just before the end of the ice age.

The species that was too become polar bears may have been adapting too the opening of new habitats and food sources in the interglacial period.

Michigan's bottle return program works

In Michigan we have a 10cent deposit on most soft drink bottles and cans. Most beer bottles and cans also have a 10cent deposit.

This is how it works
When you buy a soda you also have too pay a deposit of 10 cents. After you finished your soda you bring the can back too the store and get your 10 cents back.

Michigan bottle deposit program has been a huge success. No one in Michigan throws out there soda cans. Which keeps all that material out of our landfills.

I wish more states would start there own bottle deposit programs.
