ST. FRANCISVILLE - At least a dozen more cats and dogs came into the Pointe Coupee Parish animal shelter Monday after a gruesome discovery over the weekend.
Shelter directors Stacie McKnight says they received a call to help after a woman in St. Francisville died, leaving behind at least 50 dogs. When they arrived they found it was much worse than expected.
“It’s just a really big on-take and it’s even bigger when it’s not your parish and you’re helping,” she said.
BEIJING: Rescuers in east China on Sunday pulled 11 miners from hundreds of metres underground where they had been trapped for two weeks, state media reported, as the race to locate the remaining 10.

Hundreds of native tuna/eels, some up to 60-years-old, have been rescued from Whites Pit at Ohoka in the past two months as the huge waterhole dries up.
About 200 were rescued prior to Christmas and several hundred since as dry conditions reduced the pit to a large mud puddle.
In a last-ditch effort to protect those that had burrowed deeply into the mud, the Swannanoa Fire Brigade was called in to pour a truck-load of water in to help protect those remaining.
