Turkeys Making A Break For It

A dozen or so wild turkeys in Ramsey, New Jersey were making a break for it on the day before Thanksgiving this year.

The turkeys were spoted at the New Jersey Transit standing on a platform apparently waiting for the next out of town train to help them escape the fait of a turkey dinner the next day. LOL

The turkeys were captured on the surveillance cameras of the New Jersey Transit. According to the Ramsey police dispatcher the police department had received three calls regarding the turkeys. The turkeys are also being blamed for cause trouble with the morning rush hour trafic trouble in the area. More on this story can be found on Yahoo at:

American Cancer Society's Relay For Life

Hello out there! I just wanted to place a post here for my Relay For Life Team's Blog that I recently created to help keep my team members as well as other updated on the progress of our Relay For Life Team, our fundraisers, and all the great work that is done by the American Cancer Society. Here's the link http://generationhoperelayteam.blogspot.com/ I hope everyone will drop by and see the page.

Every one has a special reason for doing the Relay For Life and my team and I are no different. Some of us have lost more than one speical person in our lives from cancer and I belive that through the American Cancer Society's research there will one day be a cure for this disease. Personal reason are a great reason to join the Relay For Life but they are not a requirement. So do it out of the sheer feeling of helpfullness. Knowing that the money you raise throughout the year goes into research, and even to help a victim of cancer or their familys is a great feeling no matter who you are.

3 Arrested for Smuggling Siberian Tigers

According to Yahoo.com News, Montenegrin police have seized two Siberian tigers and arrested three people for trying to smuggle the endangered animals. The tigers, a male and a female, were found in a van at Petrovici village, near the town of Niksic on a road that connects Montenegro and Bosnia, in a regular police check on the vehicle, police told Dan newspaper Wednesday.

The three suspects, two of them from Serbia and a Montenegrin national, face charges of trafficking a protected species, which the daily added were each worth around 380,000 dollars.

Siberian tigers, the largest of all tiger subspecies, were hunted nearly to extinction by the mid-20th century. Fewer than 400 of the animals remain in the wild.

As a person who enjoys the Tigers and loves to see them this angers and saddens me to the point of wondering what the world is coming to. A species that is so endanger of extention is still being drove farther and farther into the total elimination of that animal.
