The hunters become the hunted: Indian state sanctions shooting animal poachers
A western Indian state has declared war on animal poaching by sanctioning its forest guards to shoot hunters on sight in an effort to curb rampant attacks against tigers, elephants and other wildlife.
The government in Maharashtra says injuring or killing suspected poachers will no longer be considered a crime.
According to the Wildlife Protection Society of India, 14 tigers have been killed by poachers in India so far this year — one more than for all of 2011. The tiger is considered endangered, with its habitat range shrinking more than 50 per cent in the last quarter-century and its numbers declining rapidly from the 5,000-7,000 estimated in the 1990s, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Do you want to know why Congress is so broken? Watch this video. It’s fun, and David Frum really explains why a bunch of drunks in the 50’s who had their wives and girlfriends on payroll were better at passing legislation than the gridlocked hoard of elites we have on Capitol Hill today.
Fancy the mobility of a Segway but don’t like standing? Honda’s new project, the UNI-Cub, might be right up your alley.
At first glance the “personal mobility device” looks like a motorized unicycle — and we’ve all seen how “easy” it is to ride a unicyle. But Honda says the UNI-Cub is quite nimble, allowing users to maneuver with a large front wheel to control horizontal and forward movement while a smaller rear wheel helps pivot through turns. (Smartphone controls are optional.)
The device has a max speed of 3.7 miles per hour, and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Watch it in action.
Nightcap.
