Anna North — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:55:00 EDT

When Muammar Gaddafi fled Libya, he left behind about 1,000 ostriches, along with herds of cattle, camels, sheep, and goats. He made no provisions to care for the animals, so they were dying — but now volunteers are feeding them and giving them medical care. Says volunteer Mohamad Al Majdoub, "They are part of Libya's patrimony. They are part of our future." More »

Elijah Wood: Feeling Sheepish

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:50:00 EDT

For those of you awfully concerned about...

Jennifer — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:50:00 EST

For those of you awfully concerned about the fate of Madonna's sheep, Sheep! magazine editor Nathan Griffith wants you to know: "Dyeing sheep is certainly no more harmful to the sheep than a person dyeing their hair. And the sheep's ability to process poison is uncanny - the only exception is copper, which affects them as arsenic affects us. And molybdenum, which is a very rare metal." Phew!

We sorta can't help but have images of Ingrid Newkirk going a little crazy with the Manic Panic on an unsuspecting Madonna. [Sun UK] More »
