As they should!

It should have never happened in the first place, though!

KFC Thailand has had to do some damage control and apologize for posting a Facebook message that urged people to hurry up and order a bucket of chicken… during Wednesday's tsunami scare!

So basically as people were being told to evacuate from beaches, the company went ahead and said this:

"Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu."

That's extremely insensitive! Whoever thought that was a good idea — and then the person who gave permission to post it — should be fired. That's a no-brainer.

More than 8,000 people in Thailand died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (230,000 in Indonesia), so you can see why people are so upset!

Indonesia is looking to ban mini skirts because they're "too pornographic" according to Suryadharma Ali, Indonesia's religious affairs minister and head of the anti-porn task force.

He and his task force plan to come up with "a set of universal criteria" on what is pornography, and

The tigers are starving, the nearly 200 pelicans can't even unfold their wings, they're so tightly packed in their enclosure.

A giraffe even recently died with a beach ball-sized clump of plastic food wrappers in its stomach.

This is all at Indonesia's largest zoo.

The breeding is uncontrolled, there isn't enough money to take proper care of the animals, and

Puyul the 40-year-old orangutan broke his leg when he fell out of a tree.

Conservationists found him and brought him to the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program (SOCP) and treated him.

He was put on fluids, x-rayed and even had a random air rifle pellet removed from his body.

Indonesia has lost about half of its rain forests in the last 50 years.

That means less trees and maybe that means less branches to grab and that would mean more falling monkeys.

So there's another reason to save the rain forests.

Can't wait til Puyul is up and running again!

A filet mignon to be exact.

While in Bali, Paris Hilton and her friends were dining at a nice restaurant. They spotted a skinny stray dog hanging around the area.

Paris tweeted:

"Saw a starving stray dog on the beach of the restaurant. Made me so sad. So we ordered him a filet mignon, he loved it!"

What a lucky pup! Paris later tweeted:

"The cruel treatment of these stray dogs has upset me so much that I can't sleep. I'm researching the internet to see what I can do to help."

After that, she shared a link to an International Fund for Animal Welfare story about types of animal relief work in Bali.

She tweeted:

"Please Donate here."

C'mon people, let's save those doggies!
