In the parking lot of the Guitar Center at One Hundred Oaks, Nancy Douglas, a sergeant with the Vanderbilt University Police Department, is peering into a sewer grate.
âI told Lewis, I said, âGet ready for your close-up. Weâre heading to Hollywood.â â
Lewis is a cat who lives in the shopping center parking lot, and for the past year, Vanderbilt police officers â tasked with patrolling the nearby Vanderbilt Health facility â have been feeding him. Douglas has formed a bond with the feline that seems like love. I lean over the grate, and the golden eyes of an orange tabby stare up at me.Â
Berkshire Bear Caught on Camera (VIDEO)
It s that time of year when the bears are out and they are hunting for food. You probably remember the story I shared with you last year regarding a bear breaking into my father-in-law s vehicle. That bear then, somehow, trapped himself in the car, destroyed it, and defecated inside. Needless to say, my father-in-law no longer owns that vehicle, which was totaled.

You might recall that I mentioned last year that my father-in-law called one of his neighbors to come help when he realized there was a bear trapped in his car.

DENVER The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service illegally helped pay for a Colorado program to kill dozens of mountain lions and black bears in an experiment to determine if the predators were partly responsible for declining mule deer populations, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Marcia Krieger in Denver found that Fish and Wildlife failed to do a required analysis of the program’s environmental effects, possibly so it could fast-track federal funding for most of the $4 million program.

Fashion retailer Saks Fifth Avenue just announced a commitment to stop selling fur across its properties by the end of the 2022 fiscal year (January 28, 2023). Through a phased out approach, Saks will stop selling fur items made by brand partners and private label merchandise. The commitment applies to fur from animals raised for their skins and fur sourced from wild animals.
“Across the Saks Fifth Avenue experience, we evaluate a number of factors when making decisions about our assortment, including customer preferences and societal shifts,” Tracy Margolies, Chief Merchandising Officer at Saks, said. “We recognize that trends constantly evolve, and that the sale of fur remains a significant social issue. As such, eliminating it from our assortment is the right step for us to take at this time.” Saks will also close all of its fur salons by the end of the 2021 fiscal year (January 29, 2022).
