Shelter Pulls Dog From Death Row, Winds Up Saving 19 Lives At Once

Shelter Pulls Dog From Death Row, Winds Up Saving 19 Lives At Once

Posted by | Aug 7, 2017 |

This dog’s litter could set a record! When overcrowded animal shelters become maxed out, they are forced to euthanize the least adoptable and most expensive animals, which means that among those put on death row are pregnant dogs. Since it’s already difficult for the shelter to care for the soon-to-be mom, having to care for her puppies and make sure they are getting the proper nutrition from the mom after they’re born is too much.

Big “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli convicted in federal fraud case

Posted by | Aug 5, 2017 |

On Friday a federal jury found notorious “Pharma bro” Martin Shkreli guilty of three counts of securities fraud (but not on the five other criminal counts related to hedge funds investors and a drug company he founded). Shkreli remains free on $5 million bail and faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. However, it’s unlikely he will do that much time given his lack of a criminal record.
