A motorist in upstate New York was arrested during a traffic stop when police discovered a cat locked in his trunk, "marinating" in pepper, salt, and oil. The driver explained that Navarro, the cat, had been "mean" to him, and was "possessive, greedy, and wasteful."

The U.S. beef industry was testing methods of cloning dead cows from ideal cuts of meat and mating those clones with natural cows to create the ultimate beef-producing livestock. "We identify carcasses that have certain carcass characteristics that we want," explained Brady Hicks of the agribusiness firm J. R. Simplot. "Through cloning we can resurrect that animal."
