21 November 2015. The Animals Take Care of Their Own… Do You Follow the Beasts or Do You Follow the Republicans?

______________________________

Here’s the choice. We can follow the beasts or we can follow the Republicans. The animals take care of their own… the Republicans throw them to the dogs if they don’t have enough money. After all, the race goes to the swiftest, and the losers deserve nothing! I’d call that “beastly”… I’d say that the animals were following their God-given nature. Who’s being “honest to God?” I’d follow the beasts, not the Republicans. The GOP boasts that it’s “pro-life”… they lie…

Sputnik International Presents… What’s Shakin’ at the Moscow Zoopark? First Steps With Mom: Simona and Her Baby Polar Bears

The two polar bear cubs that were born in the Moscow Zoopark on 10 November 2014 are strong enough to leave the inner quarters of their enclosure for the first time.

******

******

The Moscow Zoopark official website said that the cubs stick close to their mother the whole time; they do everything that she tells them to.

According to the Zoopark official website, “When Simona lets out a special snort, the cubs immediately follow her back inside”.

******

It’s difficult to spot the cubs outside because their walks are still very short.

******

Simona doesn’t allow the cubs to get close to water so they look really dirty. In time, their fur will become much whiter.

******

A happy family…
