A 15 year old 9th grader Rylee MacKay was suspended from Hurrican High school in Utah after principal Roy Hoyt said her red hair color seemed pinkish purple on the light, and didn't belong to a natural color spectrum according to Washington County School District dress code: “Hair, including beards, mustaches and sideburns, should be groomed so that it is neat and clean. Extreme hairstyles are prohibited. Hair color should be within the spectrum of color that hair grows naturally.” Rylee's mother is outraged and will not oblige with school administators request to dye Rylee's hair brown in order to be able to come back to school. Other mothers are also speaking out, on that rule being too harsh.
In the Brazilian town of Santo Antônio da Platina, spiders known as Anelosimus eximius were shot by Erick Reis as they showered the sky. Marta Fischer, a local biologist, is quoted at G1 as saying (translated), “…They are usually in trees during the day and in the late afternoon and early evening construct a sort of sheet webs, each makes his and then they come together. The goal is to capture insects.” She also says this phenomenon is normal.

In the late 1980's, early 90's an outbreak of dog breed bans swooped England, U.S., and many European countris due to inproper owner handling, which resulted in many attacks on people and other animals. Bully/mastiff (also known as molosser) type dog breeds became considered as dangerous, because of their history as fight, war, or bait dogs, and got banned.

Snake wine and Scorpion wine are asian beverages that can be found in some Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Laos Cambodia, but also in Korea, and Japan. Many types of snake drinks can be found all across Asia, but the most famous one and the only original one is the one found in Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos.
To prepare this strange beverage, a cobra snake or some scorpions are put into a bottle fulfilled with transparent rice wine liquor and some herbs are added before the drink is left to ferment for months. The venomous cobra snake used to make Snake wine is preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the rice wine, but because snake venoms are protein-based they are inactivated by the denaturing effects of ethanol, and no more dangerous, but this makes a healthy liquor with many health benefits.

Florida-based artist Celeste Roberge is fascinated with creating art where there is an intersection of geological time and human time. She identifies the layers of history and memory that exist within everything, from people, to furniture, to natural materials found in the world around us. The artist says she creates sculptures where "the presence of matter and materiality is dominant," and where combinations of fleeting human existence stand in direct harmony with the steady and enduring powers of nature.
A Young New Guinea Woman, Kepari Leniata, Was Accused of Sorcery and Was Burned Alive!
You read that right, she was burned to death.
20 year-old mother, Kepari Leniata was stripped, tied up with rope, rubbish and old tires tossed on top of her, then lit afire; burned alive! Onlookers watched and photographed the public execution, as if it was something to pop into their family photo albums as a fond memory.
Kepari Leniata was accused of sorcery by the relatives of a six-year-old boy, who recently died in a hospital under unclear circumstances. These were also the people who chose to take the law into their own hands, and bury the poor woman. Oddly enough, the persecutors were also able to gain support from local citizens, who agreed with what they were doing, and even blocked firefighters who had raced to the scene to put out the blaze. Children and families gathered to watch the cruel murder of Leniata, snapping photos and video footage with their mobile devices.

"Chris P. Bacon" is the name of an adorable little 4 lb. piglet who has no use of his back legs.
Thanks for veteranarian Dr. Len Lucero, he can now get around on a dog style wheelchair that was custom built out of K’NEX pieces. According to the Toronto Star, Lucero acquired Chris P. Bacon from a young lady who brought the handicapped piglet to his place of work (Eastside Veterinary Hospital in Florida) and did not know what to do with him.
Watch Chris P. Bacon in action in the videos below or follow his challenging journey via Facebook and Twitter!
If there is one complaint that viewers have, however, is that the wheels seem too light for Chris. However, the vet has since weighed the wheels down by about two pounds, and the wheels work better now. At some point, he will graduate to a larger wheelchair donated by the group known as Handicapped Pets.
