In a strange twist of fate, a single city has clumsily tripped into the epicenter of the debate over animal cruelty in America.

Perhaps you've been too immersed in one more summer of undergraduate bliss before facing that life-defining LSAT or MCAT this fall. Or perhaps you've been debating the merits of Kobe Bryant's legacy if he fails to win a title without Shaq, or why all Hollywood seems to do now is remake old films instead of write new ones, to notice.
