Violence in Africa

The UN's special representative on sexual violence in conflict areas called the Democratic Republic of Congo the rape capitol of the world - more than 8,000 women raped during fighting in 2009 - and those are only the reported cases.

Littering vs. Murdering coyotes

Article I read in the Toronto Sun today:

CALGARY – More than 30 coyotes have been found dead with their paws cut off 420km southeast of Calgary, prompting fish and wildlife officials to hunt for the person who dumped them.

It’s not illegal to kill coyotes on private land but whoever dumped them on the side of the road could be charged with littering.

As appeared in the Toronto Sun, Tuesday April 27, 2010

Does anyone else find this slightly ridiculous? If these coyotes were found on private land all would be well? There is something terribly wrong with the laws in both the USA and Canada when one can cut off the paws off a coyote for what I assume is no valid reason, and receive no penalty other than littering; whilst a 15 year-old-teenager could smoke a joint and forever be caught up in the system. Maybe my reasoning is skewed?
