Montana man saves moose; park authorities euthanize, blow it up
fox17online.com ^ |

A Montana camper saved a newborn moose, only to have it blown up by park authorities, together with its dead relatives.
Josh Hohm was camping at Gallatin National Forrest late last month when he spotted the orphaned calf.
The calf’s mother had died after giving birth to twins, according to the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. One of the twins lay dead alongside its mother.
Hohm found the calf that survived, took a few photos with it, and sought help.

“The camper called the sheriff and they called us, and our warden went up to euthanize the animal,” Montana FWP said.
Since the calf never suckled on its mother to get the necessary nutrients, authorities said, it would not have survived even if they rehabilitated it.
Wildlife officials said it was not an issue of cruelty. It was an issue of policy.
“We have a policy to not rehabilitate moose, deer and elk because of disease,” the FWP said. “We rehabilitate bears but we are not staffed to take care of animals that transmit disease.”
The moose was euthanized, then blown up, together with the carcasses of its mother and sibling. They were in a public campground and risked spreading diseases, authorities said.
“We are not Grim Reapers; we are in this business because we care about animals,” the FWP said.
Reached by CNN, Hohm explained how he found the calf, its stillborn sibling and their dead mother in a remote area about 40 miles outside Livingston, Montana. He said he spent about seven hours with the “alert, active and healthy” calf, with it even lying down with his dogs, before authorities arrived.
A warden told him he’d have to find another campsite because it wouldn’t be safe to be too close to the moose carcasses, given they might attract bears.
Hohm said he found out from a friend the next day how the calf had died, then was told it was because “the calf would not have survived and they had to do it because of the risk of disease.”
“I would have never called them if I knew,” he said.
CNN’s Greg Botelho contributed to this report.

23-year prison sentence for woman in slow cooker death

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit woman who was drunk when she killed a friend with a slow cooker during an argument over presidential politics was sentenced Monday to at least 23 years in prison.
A judge followed the recommended sentence in a plea deal between prosecutors and Tewana Sullivan, who has a history of bipolar disorder but was declared competent to go to trial.
Sullivan, 51, beat Cheryl Livy, 66, with a slow cooker at the victim's Livonia apartment in October. At the time, Sullivan's blood-alcohol level was 0.41 — five times the level for drunken driving in Michigan, defense attorney John McWilliams said.
"I didn't take my medication like I was supposed to, so I did mess up," Sullivan told Wayne County Judge Michael Hathaway. "Without me taking my medication, that was the worst thing I could ever have done."
McWilliams said the two were arguing about the 2016 race for president.

Morbidly obese motorist who caused jogger's death says she's too fat to be jailed

A lawyer for unemployed Linda Jenns, 49, told a court she might not survive a prison sentence for causing the death of Paul Stinton
A morbidly obese motorist who caused the death of a jogger claims she is too fat to be jailed.
Unemployed Linda Ann Jenns, 49, knocked down Paul Stinton, 45, in her white Ford Kuga after jumping a red light.
A jury found her guilty of causing the death of Mr Stinton, of Ashford, Kent, by dangerous driving after three days of deliberation.
But her barrister Ian Bridge pleaded with the judge at Canterbury Crown Court not to jail "morbidly obese" Jenns - because she wouldn't be able to cope with life behind bars.
He said she had a stroke seven years ago and at the time of the crash was receiving treatment for her weight problem.
SWNSmotorist Linda Jenns at the crash sceneCase: A jury found her guilty of causing the death of Mr Stinton Mr Bridge said she had lost between five and six stone and was hoping for a gastric band to be fitted which would have increased her life expectancy quite dramatically.
He said: "As it is, she is grossly overweight, morbidly obese and since the incident has put on even more weight.
"She is a person for whom a prison sentence would be extraordinarily difficult and I don't think I exaggerate when I say she might not get through it."
Judge Heather Norton adjourned sentence for two weeks pending medical reports and granted Jenns bail.
But she warned Jenns, of Ashford, Kent, that she faced "an almost certain" jail sentence for the offence -and also gave her an interim driving ban.

Chobani Releases Sexy Yogurt Commercial Featuring Lesbian Couple In Bed
CBS San Francisco ^

Add another to the list of gay-friendly advertisers — Chobani. The Greek yogurt company has released a romantic, undeniably hot commercial featuring a same-sex couple.
Like Wells Fargo’s recent commercial, a lesbian couple is featured, but Chobani has added a lot more sizzle.
A beautiful woman sits in bed and licks the yogurt from her spoon. She tickles the foot of her partner, whose back is to the camera, and then hops out of the bed, with only a sheet, loosely draped around her nude body. The beckoning blue sea is just outside the window.
Then comes the reveal. The camera moves in on the waking face of her partner — a woman. She’s smiles lovingly, and we see the wedding ring on her finger.
Sold. Or not.
Commercials portraying same-sex couples have drawn the wrath of the conservative right-wing. In response to Wells Fargo’s ad, televangelist Franklin Graham made a public show of closing his accountsat the bank. It was later revealed Graham’s new bank, BB&T is gay-friendly, as well, and has even sponsored a Miami Gay Pride fundraiser.
In a post on his Facebook page, Graham rails at “… the tide of moral decay that is being crammed down our throats by big business, the media, and the gay & lesbian community.”
The Wells Fargo commercial is tame in comparison to Chobani’s steamy ad. The yogurt company seems intent on pushing the envelope and has prominently displayed the ad on its website with a caption, “To Love This Life Is To Live It Naturally.”
A spokesperson for Chobani told the Huffington Post “As part of our founding mission to make better food for more people, inclusiveness is at the heart of Chobani. We’re proud that our products are enjoyed by all and we celebrate that diversity whenever — and however — we can.”
