Photo&Caption: Sloth Bear
In this undated photo, Ram Singh Munda, 35, rides a bicycle with his pet sloth bear Rani in Gahatagaon village, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of Bhubaneswar, India. When wildlife officials learned of Munda, who brought the orphaned bear cub home from the forests of eastern India, where it became part of the family, he was arrested and jailed for violating wildlife laws, the bear was sent to a zoo where it's refusing to eat and his abandoned six-year-old daughter has been shipped off to a state-run boarding school.

This is madness... There's the letter of the law and then there's the spirit of the law.
I'm full HAWT.
I'm the best blogger, ever.

Wow. I've been desiring a dog for the past few years to complement my two (sadly, now one) cat.
This photo and caption has caused me to strike a Golden Retriever off my list.
I want a sloth bear.
