Rolling Stones logo too wild for German horses: court Tattooing a pony with the Rolling Stones famous “tongue” logo would infringe animal rights law, a German court ruled Wednesday. The court in Muenster, northwestern Germany, found against the white pony's owner, who wanted to tattoo the animal's right hind thigh to make it “more uniquely beautiful.” He had already shaved a large portion of hair from the animal and pre-tattooed the outline of the tongue, 15 square centimeters (six square inches) in area.

Indiana Commission votes in favor of so-called “kill pens” Animal rights groups call them “kill pens” and they are fighting a new rule that would allow hunting dog training facilities across the state using coyotes and foxes as bait.

Indifference to cruelty cannot be excused Henrico Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Heidi Barshinger says she is “terribly disappointed” by the merciful treatment given to David Robinson.
