Adorable Baby Deer Tired of Being Called “Bambi”
Jonathan C. McNamara, a fawn living in the Texas Hill Country, has made a public statement via his attorney requesting that tourists and photographers stop calling him “Bambi” every time they spot him in the woods.
“This rampant stereotyping is degrading and demoralizing, and dismisses Mr. McNamara as an adorable plaything for the amusement of passersby” said the deer’s attorney at a press conference on Monday. “It must be stopped.”

Tiny Goat Has Big Dreams
Though he only moved to Collier’s Family Farm in Portsmouth, RI last month, Charleton, a two-year-old pygmy goat, already has plans to run for farm board president. According to the bylaws of the farm, animals must establish residency for 3 months before declaring their candidacy. Because the elections are in June, Charleton will be a late entrant to the race against incumbent, 4-term president, Dizzy the rooster.

Sheepdog Workers of America (Local 52) has filed grievances against several farms for firing experienced herding dogs and replacing them with young, underpaid bunnies – some of whom may be undocumented.
“This rampant cost-cutting will only lead to more lost sheep,” the February 1st memo notes.
One of the farmers in question, Philip McDonald of Dixie, ID, refutes the union’s claims, citing his farm’s fair hiring practices. “The bunnies are faster and more efficient. They keep the sheep in line,” Old McDonald tells The Fluffington Post. “Why wouldn’t you want to hire the best animal for the job?”

Hedgehog High Fashion Is Not For Everyone
With this year’s Hedgehog Fashion Week coming to a close, many critics have remarked that avant-garde is the new black.
More and more designers are pushing the limits of hedgehog fashion with what some have characterized as a flagrant disregard for commercial viability.
“They’re designing for the runway, and not for real hedgehogs,” says noted fashion blogger Emile Da Rosa. “What hedgehog could pull off a strawberry hat in real life? Honestly?”
