Would you believe that there are more tigers in captivity in Texas than in the whole of Africa? Such declarations become completely credible as documentarian Michael Webber's "The Elephant in the Living Room" delves into the growing trend of Americans treating some of the most dangerous animals on Earth as household pets.

Mr President,

Allow me to address you on a matter that is kind of nagging me.

It bothers me that you honestly think that people who are well versed with world affairs can buy the reason you and your allies have given for bombing Libya. To suggest that you went in to protect civilian lives when the people that were being attacked by the government were themselves armed and fighting back, is laughable.

A new UN report shows populations in African cities, home to 400 million people, are growing at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world and are adding increasing pressure on the country’s drinking water supplies and sanitation services.
