Who Knew?

The problem of the sale of monkeys as pets was brought to my attention yesterday. I know monkeys are rare and rather fascinating animals, I love watching them. And apparently they're a big enough issue to warrant attention from congress (it was being discussed on C-SPAN).

While it's probably quite a concern, I found it amusing. Especially this:

HOW YOU CAN HELP
• NEVER buy monkeys or any other wild animals as pets.
• ENCOURAGE your friends not to buy monkeys or any wild pets.
• DO NOT give positive reinforcement to owners of pet monkeys.
• REPORT any mistreatment to your local SPCA.
• IF YOU SEE A MONKEY FOR SALE IN A PET SHOP, write down the name of the shop and address and let IPPL know.

Politics

I never had any intentions of bringing politics into this blog, but tonight is an interesting night in history. The last of the primary polls closed just a few hours ago and Barack Obama is the "presumed" Democratic nominee. Why presumed? He has enough delegates. And why is Hillary saying she "will make no decisions tonight?"

It's making for some good news.
