PARIS (AP) – They were messengers, spies and sentinels. They led cavalry charges, carried supplies to the front, and died by the millions during World War I. Horses, mules, dogs, pigeons, even a baboon, all were a vital – and for decades overlooked – part of the Allied war machine.Researchers have been hard-pressed to find official accounts of the services rendered by animals.

A PROFESSIONAL hunter who sparked fury online after posing with dead animals she killed in Scotland has poked fun at her critics – by launching T-shirts which say “Don’t Let Me Get Your Goat”. US television presenter Larysa Switlyk, 33, was embroiled in the social media storm after she and her hunting pals were snapped smiling next to goats and sheep they’d shot on the Isle of Islay last month. She sparked fury with her posts and was branded “barbaric” and “not welcome” by angry Scots on Twitter. In one post, Switlyk described how she had spent two days hunting a goat on the island before making the rifle kill with a “200-yard shot”. But she has hit back once again defending her actions, and has released a new clothing line mocking the outrage she faced online. The T-shirts include the slogans “Don’t Let Me Get Your Goat” and “Barbaric Hunter”. Posting about the range on Instagram, Switlyk … [Read more...] about US huntress Larysa Switlyk who posed with dead animals she killed in Scotland pokes fun at critics by launching ‘Get Your Goat’ clothing line
