This is HUGE news, you guys!!

Did you know that Russia is the second largest tobacco market in the WORLD? China's got them beat, for sure, but being #2 on a list like that is nothing to be proud of!

Well, we'll tell you what IS something to be proud of: Russian lawmakers just backed a law which would ban smoking in bars, cafes and other public spaces to promote healthier living!

Sad…why would they allow such a thing???

A dog treats company has recalled two of its products due to antibiotic residue in their meats from China.

Nestle Purina PetCare Co. voluntarily withdrew all Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch brand dog treats sold in the United States.

New York's state agricultural department found the residue, which is legal for poultry in China but it is considered adulteration in the States.

Nestle Purina was sure to call it a "withdrawal" instead of a "recall" to make sure pet owners knew it is still technically safe to eat the products.

Technically safe…..

The gunfire attack killed the whole family, then the poachers chopped off
