If a person wants to get a tattoo, they can get whatever they want, it's their body.

But things get a little murky when you're tattooing someone else.

And things get downright wrong when you're tattooing your pet cat.

But that didn't stop a young man in Russia, who was a tattoo artist, from tattooing his hairless cat.

The above photo shows the stylized necklace and diamond with the MISSPELLED words "Carpe Deem" instead of Carpe Diem.

This is cruel and just plain wrong.

The cat was at least sedated while he gave it the tattoo.

The yearly Canadian seal hunt is a cruel and disgusting practice where seals are literally clubbed to death for their fur.

The European Union (EU) banned seal product imports back in 2009, so that cut off a huge market for the seal hunt.

Now that Russia has banned the import of harp seal products, the Canadians only have China left to sell their products to, and their deal with China has been postponed.

Russia ended their seal hunt in 2009, calling it a "bloody industry" and now they've banned imports, a big step.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) played a huge part in getting the ban through.

They said:

"IFAW’s campaign efforts have a history of successes in Russia, beginning with our efforts to end the slaughter of whitecoat seal pups by helicopter in the White Sea. Our teams observed and documented the Russian harp seal hunt in the White Sea in 1995 for the first time, and we were the first organization to campaign to end the Russian seal slaughter.

Documentaries of the White Sea hunt were produced and widely shown on Russian television, along with photos and news articles. Thanks to IFAW, the Russian seal hunt could not remain hidden, and this cruel slaughter soon became public knowledge.

The Belarus-Kazakhstan-Russian trade ban is a significant victory that should be celebrated by all concerned with animal welfare and wildlife conservation…The time has come to acknowledge that the world does not want, nor need, cruel seal products. It is time to stop commercial seal hunting once and for all."

So hopefully this will lead to an end in the Canadian seal hunt, now that their buyers are leaving them.

C'mon Canada, get with the program!

Scientist say they may have found Yeti living in the Kemerovo region of Siberia, Russia.

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman or Big Foot has been a fabled creature for decades, with many giant footprints, long strange hairs on trees and blurry photographs fueling the myth.

Now science has taken over what the crackpots couldn't finish. They plan to prove the existence of the Yeti.

A Russian news report said that scientists:

This is horrific.

A 19-year-old girl and her step-father were eaten alive by a brown bear and her cubs in Russia.

The worst part?

The teen, Olga Moskalyova, made three calls to her mother during the hour-long attack!

Her mother had to listen, helpless, as a bear ate her daughter. We feel sick.

She originally thought her daughter was joking, when she yelled out:

"Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it's such agony!"

Her mother didn’t believe her until she heard “the real horror and pain in Olga's voice, and the sounds of the bear growling and chewing.”

She was forced to listen to her daughter describe the attack while it was happening; how the mother bear brought her three cubs to feed on her.

The final phone call came an hour after the first, telling her mother that she loved her and no longer felt any pain.

Then the phone cut out.

When police finally arrived on the scene they found the bear still eating the victims.

Our hearts and our prayers go out to the deceased and that poor mother, who went through something no person should ever have to endure.
