Who amongst us in the Ist-a-verse isn't drawn to news about animals? For example, the appearance of the Fenway Hawk might have been the highlight from Sunday's Red Sox loss.
We love to help animals, too, which is why Bostonist supports the idea of curing puppy cancer even if it requires the FDA to permit Pfizer to sell more overpriced medicine to do it. And, who wouldn't rescue a wayward turtle if the situation presented itself? Working with animals is cool, too. Just ask Tanner Grogan - yes, that Grogan. He's from Foxboro and works with killer whales at Sea World Orlando.
The Globe asks if gorillas can teach humans about economics? Clearly, after the last 12 months we have a lot to learn. Franklin Park Zoo is looking into this question by assessing the ability of gorillas to make decisions based on the "value" of "currency".
Unfortunately, Bostonist is sad when an innocent person and an animal die in an accident.
