The Internet loves it some cats. One New Zealand man, not so much.

Businessman Gareth Morgan is putting out a nationwide call to ban cats, his reasoning being that a cat-free country would bring birds back to cities and improve avian life.

On Twitter, Morgan created #catstogo to help the cause. New Zealand, believe it or not, has the most cat owners in the world; about 1.419 million kitties reside there.

As a result of these numbers, cats pose a threat to native birds and are believed to have already contributed to the extinction of nine species in the island nation.

Morgan encourages people to "make this cat your last." That may be extreme … but seriously people, but a bell on your furry friends and neuter/spay at least.

Cats: You a fan?

Two days into President Obama’s second term, the North Korean military is using its most aggressive rhetoric toward the United States in quite some time.

In a lengthy statement released by its National Defense Commission through state-run media, North Korea wagged a finger in the face of the U.N. Security Council.

It also repeatedly challenged the U.S. role in particular insofar as pushing sanctions aimed at neutralizing the isolated, but erratic and nuclear state.

The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 was introduced by Democrats in U.S. Congress today, but its prospects for passage look marginal at best.

The law would reinstate the 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004, with some adjustments designed to make it even more restrictive.

The 2013 ban would outlaw assault weapons as well as high-capacity ammunition magazines; it also wouldn't have a 10-year expiration date.

When Tony and LaDonna Land discovered naked carnival worker Gregory Matthew Bruni on their roof, that alone could've made news. But their night had just begun.

Bruni, 21, allegedly assaulted Tony Land, trashed the couple's North Fort Myers, Fla., home and then defecated and masturbated INSIDE the house.

The Lands told police they were in their bedroom at around 7 p.m. Monday when they heard a noise that sounded like thunder, according to Fox 4 Now.

Tony went outside and says he saw Bruni on top of the roof, naked. Bruni allegedly jumped down on top of Land, knocking him over by hitting him in the shoulder.

Coming out is rarely easy, making it all the more impressive that Jacob Rudolph, a New Jersey high school senior, did so in front of his entire class.

"Sure I've been in a few plays and musicals, but more importantly, I've been acting every single day of my life," he said. "You see, I've been acting as someone I'm not."
