Flako, the Eurasian Eagle Owl, photographed in Central Park, Manhattan. Probably the world's most famous owl, he escaped from Central Park Zoo after having spent 13 years, his whole life, in captivity. Against all odds, as of this post, he has thrived for a year as a free bird in the Big Apple. Reminder: Give him space, be quiet and NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PLEASE (it can damage his eyes).

Markiz, a popular library cat in Russia has had to be relocated because one elderly visitor claimed he created a "dangerous epidemiological environment". Could the real reason be because he's a Norwegian Forest Cat and Norway is in NATO? He's clearly a "foreign agent".

Twix, a Russian cat who froze to death after he escaped from his carrier on a train and was thrown off by an official. Perhaps an allegory for how Russia treats its soldiers.

RIP Twix, we hardly knew you.

A map showing the sites of US bombing in Cambodia during the Vietnam War. Henry Kissinger personally approved many of the sorties which was largely done in secret, without the public or congress knowing. The bombing was accompanied by troops on the ground at the border with Vietnam with attack helicopters who were told to "kill anything that moved" by Nixon via Kissinger. The bombing eventually gave rise to a flocking of recruits to the Khmer Rouge, followed by the Cambodian genocide in which as many as 3 million Cambodians perished under Khmer Rouge rule. While the genocide took place, Kissinger offered US support to the Khmer Rouge and continued to support them as the legitimate government after they were ousted by a Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia. War criminal? You decide. The evidence seems overwhelming.
