Just another reason why you don't mess with Carrie Underwood!!!

A couple of weeks ago we reported how Carrie was pissed about an ag gag bill getting passed by Tennessee lawmakers.

The ag gag bill would've made it basically impossible for animals rights activists to secretly document abuse.

Carrie was so mad back then she said she would show up at Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's house if it was passed!

Well, Bill made sure that didn't happen.

His office has released this statement:

Bryan Zuniga, 20, was pulled over in Florida during a routine traffic stop.

As soon as he stopped his car he jumped out his passenger door, broke through a fence and disappeared.

Police eventually found him at a nearby hospital, being treated for alligator bites!

Is that a mouse in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

That's what police were asking John Jacobson after he allegedly tried to steal a whole pack of beer from a truck as it was being loaded into a store!

But that's not the bizarre part of the story. Not even close!

Ginnifer Goodwin has stepped up and is voicing her opposition to the ag gag bill in Tennessee.

She joins the likes of Carrie Underwood in her plea for Tenn. Governor Bill Haslam to veto the bill.

If you haven't heard somehow, in Tennessee there's a bill trying to make it so animal abuse whistleblowers have to turn their evidence over to police within 48 hours of learning of the abuse or risk facing charges themselves.

The whole point of this bill is to make it so farm industry abuse is harder to document because two days isn't enough time to document ongoing, systemic abuse.

Ginnifer tweeted:

A man from Western Pennsylvania is in legal trouble for shooting a buck from a busy Walmart parking lot.

That sounds super dangerous!

Arcangelo "Angelo" Bianco Jr., 40, is going to trial for reckless endangerment and state game charges.

Wildlife conservation officers said that last November, Bianco shot several rounds at a buck in a Walmart parking lot so close to employees that deer blood was splattered on trailers that were being unloaded!!

That's insane! Why was he shooting so near people?? Did he have something personal against the deer?

He continued shooting at the fleeing deer until it died and he later retrieved it from the side of a road nearby.

Pretty sure this guy is gonna lose his gun license and have to pay some serious fines at a minimum!

Check out the video (above) to learn a little more about this crazy hunter guy!

Charles Schmidt created the Keyboard Cat video and meme which have become global phenomenons.

Christopher Orlando Torres created the Nylan Cat video which may be an even bigger phenomenon!

And now both of these two men are suing Warner Bros. and 5th Cell for including cartoon versions of their respective cats in the video game called Scribblenauts.

Both creators have copyrighted their respective franchises, but the problem is

While on a recent trip to Capitol Hill, Jillian Michaels spoke with Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein about cosponsoring a bill that would ban the slaughter of horses in America.

PETA's Vice President Dan Mathews was there as well, lending his voice to the issue.

They all retreated to Sen. Boxer's office to talk more about the bill that would make it illegal to kill horses for their meat but also they discuss the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act.
