01 Sep 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Researchers in Gothenburg, Sweden, met this week to launch a new “meat without slaughter” initiative – with plans on being able to release bio-sausages in the next six months. Bio-sausages made from exotic animal cells, too, because vat-grown tiger meat isn’t any less ethical than vat-grown bacon.

The Cutest Video Of A Cat And A Dolphin Playing Together EVER [VIDEO]
13 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Sometimes there just isn’t anything more important in life than to watch videos like this. Yes it is cute, but more importantly it is the realisation afterward that hits hardest.

21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 15 Comments
For every cute little kitten, there are at least a million other animals out there that will literally eat your face off. Why? Because nature is an asshole, that’s why.
