Thanks to the people of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, reindeer can now be considered as “sports participants” and not merely as a main dish in their state. Reindeer sausages, stews, hotdogs – to name a few – are food favorites.
The first Running of the Reindeer was inaugurated in the snow-packed Fourth Avenue. Hundreds cheered the seven little reindeer and about one thousand (1,000) costumed runners who participated. This is Alaska's answer to the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Short of cloning the perfect canine, pet lovers have done everything to make their pet dogs unique.

Having an aquarium at home or in the office may help us relax and unwind but researchers have found that the fish we keep as pets may have an adverse effect on natural water ecosystems. Research has shown that the common practice of “flushing down” our aquatic friends when they have finally kicked the bucket actually harms the environment. According to researchers in Oregon, the number of aquarium fish living in the wild is steadily growing in number.
