Animal cruelty shows itself in many ways.
Nearly 20% of abused children in turn abuse animals. That’s why, when an RSPCA Inspector discovers a child is responsible for an act of animal cruelty, they know it may not only be the pet that needs help. Often by alerting welfare organisations, our inspectors have helped prevent not just animal abuse but child abuse.

We all realize there’s a stereotype about how women don’t know their way around a car. But AutoTrader.ca isn’t helping them very much. Ladies in Canada, despite what this ad would have you believe, cars do not have penises.

PG&E doomed to wear the ‘Scarlet Twitter’

Twitterpge Each time I log into Twitter, I feel a pang of pity for Pacific Gas & Electric. Now, I lived in Northern California for years and had no real love (or hate) for PG&E. But I still think it’s a tad unfair that the top sample post on Twitter’s front page has long been a complaint—by one of Twitter’s founders, even—about the utility company. You can’t make out the full message, but the line “waited all morning for PG&E” pretty much tells you that “Ev” isn’t in love with their customer service. You also get the bonus snippet of “without power or internet.” This criticism comes with no real context, on a page seen by hundreds of thousands of people. I tried to ask Ev, aka Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, about it, but his only response so far was a tad unfulfilling. What do you think? Is his missive a virtual sucker punch, or is it PG&E’s karmic punishment for all its outages, missed appointments and surprise rate hikes?
