SEALS: Animal rights activists painted themselves with fake blood during a protest against seal hunting near the Canadian embassy in Vienna.

WHALES: San Fran's beloved lost mother humpback and her calf look to be back where they belong.

DOGS: Don't read this disgusting story about one man's meatball-eating protest if you love dogs, especially Corgis.

CATS, NO, BOBCATS: Know your animals before you try to rescue them. At least this story ends happily. It didn't have to.
