All tag results for 'horns'

Ryan Gosling is so hunky and caring and attractive and talented and hunky.

But also caring.

He cares about things you probably didn't even know were happening.

Like the cruel dehorning of dairy cows!

He wrote a letter to the National Milk Producers Federation on behalf of PETA that read:

Seven people in the U.S. have been arrested in connection with trafficking rhino horns.

The horns are cut from the head of the endangered rhino for ornamental carvings, good luck charms or possible medical purposes, including curing cancer (all of which are unsubstantiated or just plain false).

The assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division said:

"The rhino is an animal of prehistoric origin that is facing possible extinction because of an illegal trade for its horns on the black market that is driven by greed."

So Sad.

About 115 elephant tusks were found by sniffer dogs inside metal containers bound for an address in Nigeria.

It was the largest seizure in recent months, police said. Last year, two tonnes of ivory and five rhino horns were found at Nairobi's airport.

Officials believe Kenya has become a transit point for international ivory smuggling, largely to Asia.

"We are suspecting they could be from here or neighbouring countries and we are on their toes. We must get them,"

Eunice Kiheko, deputy police chief at the airport, told the Associated Press.

"They have killed many, many elephants and we cannot allow this."

In the classic John Hughes film The Breakfast Club, Principal Richard "Dick" Vernon warns troubled student Bender, "Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns."

This guy must have never seen that movie.

A French matador suffered a broken collar bone after being gored during a bullfight in Medellin, Colombia yesterday.

The bull struck after the bullfighter stabbed the charging animal to end the spectacle, but fans got one more surprise when the bull caught the fighter off guard in one last charge before falling over dead.

Check out the video above to see the bullfighter get the horns after pissing off the wrong bull.

Hopefully this video serves as a reminder to some why bullfighting is not only a stupid way to kill an innocent animal, but a stupid way to get yourself killed as well!

Holy shiz! This is crazy!

In a rare turn of events, a hiker was attacked, and killed by a mountain goat in the mountains of western Washington U.S. park officials say.

At the moment, officials don't understand what provoked the attack and why it occured in the first place.

A spokeswoman said the goat was fatally shot by park rangers when they "observed blood on its horns" after the incident. She also expressed her confusion over the incident, "We are not aware of anything like this ever happening."

As the park officials look into the incident, we have to remind people, don't approach wild animals! We don't know what they will do - so don't try to interact with them!

It's horrible to hear something like this happen and hopefully another incident like this won't happen!

This is awful!

Animal right's activists are not happy with lawmakers in Catalonia, Spain after they voted to support the flaming bull festivals.

The tradition known as "correbous", involves putting fireworks or flaming wax on the horns of the bull and allowing them to charge at people.

WTF!? Why would anyone want a bull, let alone one with flaming horns, run at them?

Activists are rightfully upset with lawmakers after they banned bullfighting because of animal cruelty, but not other bull-related traditions like this.

Sad.

Hopefully the outrage will make lawmakers reconsider their decision.
