If you own a fur coat, it was probably made by several little furry guys who were raised simply to be skinned and make you look all fancy.</p><p>Even if you still like wearing your fur coat, you never know when you might get doused with fake blood or paint by a nutty <a href="http://www.peta.org/">PETA</a> activist. So what’s a fashionable person to do?</p><p>The Human Society has the answer and it’s called <a href="http://www.hsus.org/furfree/campaigns/c4c/">Coats for Cubs</a>. They use old fur coats for wildlife rehabilitators, who use the furs to warm and comfort orphaned and injured wildlife. Yup, that’s a tear that just fell out of your eye.</p><p><img src="http://media.whatifoundtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/281x144_baby_fox_on_fur.jpg" alt="" title="Baby fox on fur from an old fur coat" width="281" height="144" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-190" /></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://whatifoundtoday.com/189/best-way-to-get-rid-of-that-fur-coat/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>An Animal That Can Live Forever</title><link>http://whatifoundtoday.com/94/an-animal-that-can-live-forever</link> <comments>http://whatifoundtoday.com/94/an-animal-that-can-live-forever#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:25:48 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jon Henshaw</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[bizarre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[animals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jellyfish]]></category> <category><![CDATA[survival]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://whatifoundtoday.com/?p=93</guid> <description><![CDATA[The desire to live forever is no doubt connected to the survival instinct and has permeated itself in different ways through organized superstitions.

However, there&#8217;s one animal on Earth that may actually have the chance to remain immortal.</p><blockquote><p>The Hydrozoan, a small predatory sea creature like a jellyfish but without all their well known exciting higher functions, can achieve the dream of millions and become a child again.  When adverse environmental conditions threaten death it can collapse into a rugged blob of cells to survive.  When it re-emerges, it does so as a child &#8211; literally building itself up all over again.  Since this isn&#8217;t just a shell to hide in, but a complete structural restart, it seems possible that it could keep this up forever.</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/immortal-invade.html"><img src="http://media.whatifoundtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/hydrozoan111.jpg" alt="" title="Hydrozoan" width="225" height="288" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-175" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://whatifoundtoday.com/94/an-animal-that-can-live-forever/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
