    Teen who beat birds accused of violating probation

    I couldn't agree more!! Fines are not nearly high enough, and not enough period, there should be mandatory jail time. Actually, they should be beaten unrecognizeable.... hopefully they'll be sent to prison where they'll be taken in by a 300 lb inmate who's lonely pleas to the warden for a...

    SNAKE HELP

    A lot of people have that snake phobia. I love em, but that could be cause I was raised with them.

    Confirmed Black Bearin south Jersey...

    I was under the impression from the articles that the bear were not "put" here, but that they found their way South, is this not correct? In either event, I'm glad to see them, welcome home, and I hope more of their number and other native species find their way back. Brian
