Pussy Riot Attacked at McDonald's

Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina have been attacked by five young men at a McDonald's in Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday.  The attackers threw metal objects at the women as they were eating, leaving Alyokhina with "a cut to her forehead," their lawyer said, Interfax reported. Furthermore, Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina sustained injuries to their eyes after an unidentified liquid was thrown in their faces. The women were filing reports with the police, their lawyer said. This is not the first time that the women have been attacked following their January release from prison, where they had been serving two-year sentences for performing an anti-Putin song in Moscow's Christ the Saviour Cathedral.

 Young male dolphins used two porpoises in a game of cat and mouse, inflicting horrific injuries that left the animals dead The moment two porpoises were attacked and killed by dolphins who threw the animals around ‘for fun’ has been captured on camera. The incident was seen by Caroline Weir who noticed the commotion from her bedroom window in St Cyrus in Aberdeenshire and took photographs. The pictures show the dolphins repeatedly throwing around one of the porpoises. The animals were later washed up on the shore dead, and had suffered serious injuries to their heads including deep gaping holes around their eyes.  Experts at the Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme believe the pair of dolphins, thought to be young males, were probably playing a game similar to ‘cat and mouse’ when they inflicted the injuries. In a post on its Facebook page, the organisation said: “Flipper is not as sweet and innocent as he seems. ”Bottlenose dolphins regularly do this,...
