They started a website, named "Sammy and the City," and this pooch became a internet SMASH!

Unfortunately, Smith and Camara broke up and after a few months of cordiality, things got bitter….

An advertising agency has decided to exclusively use cats for their videos because that's what the people want.

Check out the above video for a cat video about cat videos!

It seems the Internet craze known as planking has come and gone and the new trend is owling.

And just as the name suggests, it involves people sitting and posing like owls.

Seriously.

While we find both pretty ridiculous, hopefully those participating in owling are a bit safer and don't try to risk their lives for silly poses.

What do U think of "owling"? Share your thoughts with us here!

In March we posted about This Tragic Excuse Of A Zoo.

Today we are pleased to announce the tiger in the picture above will be finding a new home - GuZoo is fianlly being shut down!

An independent review of the facility found a long list of major deficiencies at the zoo.

The main concerns consisted of a lack of food and water, cleanliness, and safety for the animals and visitors.

One group, Zoocheck, has been watching GuZoo for quite a while and is thrilled that finally, something is being done.

"We're just so happy that finally, after years of animals being neglected, this zoo is being shut down,"

said said a Zoocheck rep.

The group credits photos which circulated over the Internet drew the most recent attention to zoo practices.

You're welcome! Jk jk!

Animal rights protesters won South Korea! (Sorry Lindsay)

The country's capital city has told Italian fashion house Fendi to remove all fur items from a show of its Fall/Winter collection due to complaints from animal rights groups, officials said Monday.

A spokesman for the city government said:

"We have received complaints from animal rights activists and saw negative public opinion on the Internet… we can't let such a controversial thing be staged at a public property."

The Italian firm said city officials last week threatened to cancel the event unless all fur items were removed from the catwalk.

Fendi's statement said the design house had difficulty understanding the decision and had spent months preparing. It added it would continue negotiations.

It's better than a Furby!

How could someone be stupid enough to let their daughter play with a dead animal AND post the bad parenting on the internet?

We just hope this poor little girl has seen a doctor since this was made.
