Violet D'Mello of Britian was mauled by cheetahs on her 60th birthday at a South African game preserve this past week. D'Mello was visiting the Kragga Kamma game reserve near Port Elizabeth with her husband when the attack occurred. According to the Mail Online, D'Mello paid an additional £4.50 (around $8) to pet hand-reared cheetah brothers Mark and Monty.
D'Mello was in the enclosure with the two cats when one of them grabbed eight-year-old Camryn Malan and began biting his leg. The boy’s seven-year-old sister Calum panicked at the scene. D'Mello told the young girl not to run fearing it would attract the cats to her. D'Mello was midsentence when one of the cats knocked her to the ground. [ Read Full Post ]
Minnesota is home to more wolves than any other state in the lower 48, and now North Star State hunters are finally going to have a hunting season, or two.
State officials are hustling to finalize plans for two wolf hunting seasons this fall. One will start on the opening day of deer season and another will start in December and probably run during the planned wolf-trapping season, according to the Star Tribune.
The plan is to have quotas for each season which requires hunters to follow online the number of wolves killed. Once the kill quota is reached, the season will close. [ Read Full Post ]
#1 - Break a True Pair
Take the rear target first and continue your swing to get out in front of the lead clay. For going-away birds, take the clay that’s more of a straightaway and then swing on the target that’s angling away.
#2 - Get Steady Off-Hand
During dry-fire practice, pick a small target to focus on, and with the rifle held low, bring it up in a smooth motion. As soon as the target comes into view with the reticle centered on it, break the trigger. [ Read Full Post ]
Playboy model and former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler declared war -- a Twitter rank at least -- against the apex predators of the sky last week after a hawk gouged the eye of one of her “fur babies” and flew off with another. Moakler, who has two children with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, told Hollyscoop, “I live in a neighborhood where coyotes and hawks are prevalent. We took the dogs outside to go to the bathroom and they were attacked by a hawk. My one puppy may have lost an eye, we won’t know for a couple weeks and the bird flew off with my other puppy. It was like out of a movie.”
The movie in question must have been "R" rated as Moakler’s Monday tweet dropped the F-bomb. “A eagle attacked my 2 chi’s today, my girl pup is at the vet, my boy is missing, between my cat and my pups, i’m about to f**n kill things.” Wednesday’s tweet, although profanity free, swore vengeance. “Not gonna lie, feel like hunting hawks today… don’t feel bad about it either.”

Dog Expedition Systems, an offshoot of parent company D.T. Systems, has just released the Border Patrol TC1: A portable “GPS-enabled pet containment e-Fence system with FenceView Tracking and remote trainer capabilities all in one unit.”
The premise is pretty cool. Using GPS, you can set a circular perimeter of 15 yards to 800 yards from a specified center spot. You can then set your warning and stimulation areas and levels. Warning areas will trigger the collar’s vibration or tone mode, or a combination of both and delayed stimulation. Fifty levels of intensity are available in the stimulation area. Once set, you can monitor your dog’s location relative to the center point and the collar’s status (Warning, Stimulation or Out of Boundary). [ Read Full Post ]
In case you missed it, Giant George, the world’s tallest dog as declared by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010, has a new book out. The Great Dane’s owners wrote a book about life with the oversized dog, who weighs more than 250 pounds, stands about 4 feet tall at the shoulder and is around 7 feet long from head to tail. You’ve got to see the video and pictures of the pooch to truly get an idea of his size.
While Great Danes are now companion pets, they were originally used as big-game hunting dogs. [ Read Full Post ]
A Monterey County, California woman’s fear of clocking a coyote with her car led to her spend the night in her vehicle after she ran off the road. Mercurynews.com reports that Carrie Joseph, 55, was driving northbound on Thursday night April 12, when a song dog ran in front of her 2006 Dodge Charger.
Joseph swerved to avoid hitting the animal. Her tires left the road and she rolled down a 250-foot embankment. [ Read Full Post ]
