Shark Finning Regulations: Good, But Not Good Enough

16
Jul
2008

The US Senate has just passed a Shark Regulation Act, which is awaiting decision on the Full House (whatever the hell that means, can only assume it means ‘tbc’ or something) that makes it illegal to remove sharks’ fins at sea. This is quite a big move, as loopholes in the previous protection act (which basically had to do with the weight of fins, and was open to a lot of cheating) meant that there was no real control of … Read More »

Lately, the wack shit I’ve seen has caused me to really ponder my sanity, let alone the state of the earth.

2008

There is nothing as amazing as seeing an adopted dog get a chance at a new life. I know a few people who have D.A.R.G dogs, and while they took a little bit more work and love to settle in, they gave back so much more once they felt secure. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about D.A.R.G, and what I can do to help with such a good cause. I found the website today, which gave a few … Read More »

So, this month was no contest, Nigel Barker is the MMMM winner for April. Here’s why… With his British and Sri Lanka mix, and his earlier modeling career, and that build… not to mention the jawline, he could … Read More »
