"Operating a taxi equipped with waterproof mats, paper boxes and pet food, a 54-year-old Taipei cab driver not only transports human passengers, but also ferries stray animals to their new owners. For several years Yu Ho-ching (尤河清) has helped animal shelters and volunteers take strays to their new homes, for a reasonable fee, in spite of the threat of unpleasant odors that nervous animals may leave behind. Yu has also provided free rides to stray animals whose foster carers are financially disadvantaged and he sometimes purchases pet supplies himself." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"Saying that he would continue to transport his animal passengers until the day he retired, Yu urged the public to think twice before getting a pet, and to adopt a dog or a cat from a shelter rather than buying one." - Jessie

"The Baltimore Sun reported that a team of firefighters in Hartford County, Md. heard the desperate yipping of a pup trapped in a storm drain. For anyone who's ever heard a small mammal in distress, those sounds are (by natural design) heart-wrenching. A press release made after the fox rescue explained that the Joppa-Magnolia firefighters are "tasked with protecting lives, not just human," which is a really wonderful way of saying that they just had to stop and free the baby fox from certain doom." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

International Worker's Day! A.k.a. public holiday! (I don't get the joke, I'm afraid :)) - Eivind

"Brian Hare, an anthropologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, had previously shown that dogs are more likely than undomesticated animals - even chimps - to be able to communicate in this way with humans. But was this social sophistication something that was specifically bred for during their domestication, or was it a by-product? An opportunity to find out came from the Siberian foxes, which have been bred for friendliness but have had limited contact with humans. The project was set up in 1959 by Dmitry K. Belyaev of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk to examine the genetics of domestication. Each fox is tested at the age of seven months to see whether they approach humans (and whether they bite). The 'friendlier' foxes are bred, and a separate, control, population is bred randomly." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"Hare and his team studied fox kits that had spent "probably a grand total of 20 minutes" with humans, according to Hare, so they could not have learned how to interact with them. Introduced into a room with two hiding places for food and a human pointing and gazing intently at the one spot that actually concealed food, the 'tame' foxes took the hint and found it, whereas the 'wild' ones were flummoxed. The researchers report their results in Current Biology1. " - Jessie

"Hare believes that his results have implications for the oft-debated origins of human social intelligence. Perhaps humans found it favourable to be less aggressive and fearful, and to be more tolerant and cooperative, and these changes brought along with them a boost in cognitive skills. "Selection for being smart might not have been the first step," suggests Hare. "First you need to have a change in how you view your social world, so we had a platform from which these new abilities can evolve." " - Jessie

"Cats doing aerobics? DDB Chicago's amusing new video for Temptations cat treats is likely to blow up the Internet. No wonder Temptations-eating felines have the leg muscles to be able to cling so ardently to their owners. Check out the Work It Kitty website, where you can download the song ("I Don't Wanna Dance," recorded by Alex Gaudino, featuring Taboo) and learn more about the cats in the video. Ask your veterinarian if you're healthy enough for the Work It Kitty workout. Not recommended if you're on drugs, like those fools in JWT's Litter Genie spots.

"A statement on the Seattle Police Department blotter Monday says the “hard-boiled tale” began Sunday afternoon, “when one woman reportedly pushed a child aside as her own child was scrambling toward some brightly colored eggs.” Police say the two mothers began fighting and had to be separated three or four times. The fisticuffs left one woman with a bloody nose." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

I will most likely pick whichever is left out of the chocolate spotted and chocolate marbled, as Carol says they are more quiet and laid back than the lilac. But we'll wait until we meet them, of course. - Headless Gnad Kicker

If both the quiet ones are left, it's going to be so hard to choose! - Headless Gnad Kicker

"A 60m long overpass furnished with cat stands and cat furniture is to be unveiled on March 30 in the Houtong (猴硐) area of New Taipei City’s (新北市) Ruifang District (瑞芳), where the presence of a large cat population has been a big tourist draw in recent years. The town used to be one of the country’s largest coalmining sites, but it is now focused on its other natural resource: stray cats. Over the years, the town has become home to an estimated 100 cats." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"“We must take the cats’ needs into consideration because they have become an important part of the town,” city official Chen Ching-fang said. She added that she hoped the bridge will reflect the harmonious coexistence of the town’s residents and the cats, as well as promote animal protection. The overpass cost NT$18 million (US$602,600) and took eight months to build. It is expected to... more... - Jessie

I can't give blood. I might have Mad Cow Disease. o_O - LB: #TeamMonique

Our local blood bank wants me bad. I gave right at the end of last year, then a week later came my diagnosis of low iron stores. Cue three months of high-dose iron and not being allowed to donate. I told this to the guy from Red Cross and he had me schedule an appointment for right after my next blood test anyway, so that if I get the all-clear I can give again asap. Of course, I'm used to being wanted. NOT. - Headless Gnad Kicker

"Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) was jubilant today after his newly unveiled budget plan picked up a key endorsement from the novelist Ayn Rand. It was a rare public utterance for the late Ms. Rand, who has been damned to eternal torment in Satan’s lake of fire since 1982. “This is a budget I wish I had written,” said Ms. Rand, pausing to scream as white-hot flames licked her face. “Paul Ryan is a great man and I look forward to meeting him someday.”" - Jessie from Bookmarklet

" Rep. Ryan acknowledged Ms. Rand’s praise with humility, telling reporters, “There’s no trick to cutting $4.6 trillion once you take a hard look at failed ideas of the past, such as the social contract.” Mr. Ryan added, “Unlike the Democrats’ plan, my budget has new ideas, like cutting two of the four food groups and classifying large sodas as medicine.” " - Jessie

"Ms. Rand’s thumbs-up capped a victory lap of sorts for Mr. Ryan, who earlier in the day garnered an endorsement from Marie Antoinette." - Jessie

"We compared the estimated mass of prey consumed annually against the pre-breeding biomass of prey species on a farm in southern England. Medium-sized mammals (mainly rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus) dominated fox diet in all seasons (74% of mass ingested); birds (mainly pheasants Phasianus colchicus), small mammals (mainly field voles Microtus agrestis) and large mammals comprised 11, 7 and 6% of the diet, respectively. The mass of rabbits, wood miceApodemus sylvaticus and bank voles Clethrionomys glareolus taken did not exceed the respective spring biomasses, indicating that fox predation was unlikely to be a significant limiting factor as all three species have a high rate of productivity." - Jessie from Bookmarklet
