  • Another follow-up to last week's animal news: The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals chauffeured the little lamb found wandering in the Bronx up to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen . And lamb, named Lucky Lady, wasn't the only lucky one headed up there: Six chickens found in Brooklyn were also along for the trip.

Farm Sanctuary is in Watkins Glen, there's no such place as Glen Watkins. But there's probably a guy names Glen Watkins somewhere.

Re: the 6-week old red-tail hawk

Since the baby hawk wasn't injured, a lot of people are concerned that he is being held unnecessarily by the wildlife rehabilitator.

It is now a very critical time in the baby hawk's development to learn the essential flying and hunting survival skills from his parents. By keeping him away too long from his parents, a window of opportunity could be lost forever.

If that happens, this baby hawk could be doomed to spend the remainder of its life in a cage at one of those wildlife places for raptors who lack the ability to survive in the wild.

Hahahaha, Glenn Watkins, nice one...

Donating Viagra to the she-dog... there's a joke in there somewhere...

Controversy over. "Ziggy" was released at the south end of Central Park Tuesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, a baby red-tail was rescued in Jersey City last Thursday, and I have yet to hear anyone claim that his rights were violated.
