Snapperfest - Indiana's shameful call to get all drunk and abuse turtles
this video was taken at Snapperfest, the turtle torture event in Ohio County, Indiana on August 20, 2011.
This event is considered by the local people as "good ole fun" or "family entertainment".
Somehow this idiotic, barbaric event has been allowed to continue for 15 years despite the fact that it is clearly against the law - Indiana code 35-46-3; Torture, Beating, mutilation of vertebrate animals
http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar46/ch3.html
Indiana law stipulates:
A person having a vertebrate animal in the person's custody who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally abandons or neglects the animal commits cruelty to an animal, a Class B misdemeanor. A person who knowingly or intentionally purchases or possesses an animal for the purpose of using the animal in an animal fighting contest commits a Class A misdemeanor.
However, a person who knowingly or intentionally promotes or stages an animal fighting contest, uses an animal in a fighting contest, or attends an animal fighting contest having an animal in the person's possession commits a Class D felony.
Further, a person who knowingly or intentionally beats a vertebrate animal commits cruelty to an animal, a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is a Class D felony if the person has a previous, unrelated conviction under this section or the person knowingly or intentionally tortures or mutilates a vertebrate animal.
A turtle is considered to be a vertebrate animal with a unique skeleton. This means that a turtle's shell is more than an outer covering, it is an integral part of the animal's body. As the turtle develops inside the egg its shoulder blade remains inside the rib cage. During the turtle's early embryology when its skeleton is forming, the shoulder blade and the ribs become part of the shell.
People from all corners of the world had implored Governor Mitch Daniels to stop this event but the governor has failed to respond to the hundreds of comments on his facebook page:

Un guatemalteco cuida la colección de huevos más grande del mundo
Los Ángeles, 14 may (EFE).- (Imágenes:Iván Mejía) El guatemalteco René Corado dejó una aldea en la que creció rodeado de "pájaros" tropicales para emigrar a EE.UU., donde comenzó lavando platos pero ahora es gerente del museo californiano Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology (WFVZ), que posee la mayor colección de huevos del mundo.
Corado, de 58 años, relató a Efe que, en su niñez, la aldea El Chical de Morazán, provincia El Progreso, Guatemala, era una docena de modestas viviendas rodeadas de montañas, donde trinaban las aves.
Tenía 8 años cuando su padre, Viviano Corado, "el sabio de la aldea", emigró con la familia a la capital en busca de oportunidades de educación y empleo.

Animals are cute and funny. Animals are awesome. Check out these cute animals and funny animals in this cute and funny animal videos compilation.
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia (also called Metazoa). The animal kingdom emerged as a clade within Apoikozoa as the sister group to the choanoflagellates. Animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently at some point in their lives. Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later in their lives. All animals are heterotrophs: they must ingest other organisms or their products for sustenance.
Most known animal phyla appeared in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion, about 542 million years ago. Animals can be divided broadly into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have a backbone or spine (vertebral column), and amount to less than five percent of all described animal species. They include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The remaining animals are the invertebrates, which lack a backbone. These include molluscs (clams, oysters, octopuses, squid, snails); arthropods (millipedes, centipedes, insects, spiders, scorpions, crabs, lobsters, shrimp); annelids (earthworms, leeches), nematodes (filarial worms, hookworms), flatworms (tapeworms, liver flukes), cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, corals), ctenophores (comb jellies), and sponges. The study of animals is called zoology.Ver video "Animals Doing Things Funny Cat & Dog Videos Compilation (2018)"
Científicos hallan en China el embrión fósil más antiguo de vertebrados terrestres
An international team has discovered in Chinese eggs and fossilized dinosaur embryos with what appears to collagen, the organic moiety oldest yet found in terrestrial vertebrates. The study of bones, published this week in Nature, concludes that the offspring grew at high speed and moving inside the egg.
SPANISH:
Un equipo internacional ha descubierto en China huevos y embriones fosilizados de dinosaurio con lo que parece colágeno, el resto orgánico más antiguo encontrado hasta ahora en vertebrados terrestres. El estudio de los huesos, publicado esta semana en Nature, concluye que las crías crecían a gran velocidad y se movían en el interior del huevo.
