Westboro Baptist Church Protesters Attempt To Ruin a Marine’s Funeral But They Didn’t Expect This.
The story you are about to hear in the video below, will simultaneously evoke emotions about mans’s inhumanity to man, and restore your faith in our ability to stand up to intolerance and cruelty. Why would members of the congregation from Westboro Baptist Church, come to protest the funeral of a serviceman who had given his life for the United States?
Marine Corporal Richard Bennet, was being laid to rest after dying in a helicopter crash in Iraq, at the age of 25. This radicalized group of congregants didn’t think he deserved respect; they firmly believe that American troops are punished by God because our country accepts homosexuality.
They were all revved up chanting angry slurs at Corporal Bennet’s grieving family, never expecting that their hateful speech would be prevented from being heard, and intruding on the family’s ability to grieve with respect and privacy.
The video you are about to watch, will tell the loving and courageous interference of “The Patriot Guard”, a group of bikers who used their bodies and American flags to form a wall that would prevent the hateful speech from being seen or heard by the grieving family. The hateful rhetoric was spewed, as free speech allows, but the bikers made sure that their it was not heard by the people mourning. This was all done without any violence; the revving of their bikes combined with the human wall of visual protection, allowed this family to grieve in peace.

Sad Circus Lion Spent 13 Years Locked in a Tiny Cage. Now Watch When He’s Freed For The First Time.
After spending his entire life locked in a tiny metal cage, the video you are about to watch below, captures this lion’s first moments of freedom after being rescued. For 13 long years Will had been forced to perform in a traveling circus, before the Brazilian animal sanctuary Rancho dos Gnomos came to finally release him from this awful captivity, where he was confined to a cramped cage when not performing.
When his cage is opened, it takes Will a moment to realize what has happened, before he jumps from confinement and romps towards the earth, grass, rocks and trees. He revels in feeling nature beneath his paws with such obvious delight, that it brought tears to my eyes.
Rolling onto his back in the grass and experiencing all of the smells and textures of nature beneath his paws, as he explores his new home, brings home the importance of allowing wild animals to be in a natural environment and the cruelty of this deprivation. The heartlessness of animals being held captive in order to entertain humans, instead of being able to live their lives in their natural habitat, should never be allowed or tolerated.
The happy ending for Will, according to Marcus Pompeo, the lion caretaker and founder of the sanctuary, where he “loved to lie in the grass and look at the sky..[and] was a very happy lion”, is heartwarming. The fact that he was able to spend the last five years of his life in this beautiful sanctuary, before dying in 2011, was a wonderful thing. Hopefully sharing his story and this video will help to free other big cats who continue to be enslaved to this day.

What Occurred After This Pup’s Human Died Stunned Everyone. This Tore My Heart Up.
Sometimes something unexplainable happens that gives hope to anyone who witnesses the miracle. This happened on a cloudy day in Newport, N.H. when ABC News 20/20 was running a report on fallen soldier Justin Rollins. On September 11 Justin decided he would become a soldier. Like many Americans he was distraught and traumatized by the events that unfolded on that fatal day. Justin ended up going to Iraq to fight for his country. One day he was alerted that there was a group of puppies stranded in a strange place. Justin and his fellow soldiers found the puppies and rescued them.
That night he took some pictures with the puppies and those would be the last pictures Justin would ever take. The next day Justin got killed in combat. His family received the horrible news while simultaneously receiving an e-mail from Justin sharing the pictures he took the night before holding the adorable puppies. His family was determined to get one of those puppies in honor of their sons memory.
Somehow, some strings were pulled and the family adopted one of the puppies Justin held on his final night. They got the puppy soon after and raised it like their own son. Sometimes, Justin’s mother would pet the pups face and ask “Justin, are in there?” It was a way for a grieving mother to try to connect with her lost boy.
When 20/20 was running their story on the hero, something remarkable happened. The dog wandered off, the clouds opened up and a beam of lights from the heavens came down directly on the dog. The cameraman filmed the moment in astonishment as the whole family looked on in awe. It had everyone wondering if Just had come back to give them a sign from above. The family rejoiced and it gave hope to a grieving community. Watch the amazing footage below. What do you make of this? Do you believe in an afterlife?

She Starts Calling Man Fat While He’s On Line At McDonald’s. She Proceeds To Get Some Instant Karma.
image via – rumble.com
Fat shaming is as disgraceful and cruel as it sounds. It’s when overweight people are harassed and criticized about their eating habits or weight by others who are trying to make them feel ashamed of themselves. Basically, it’s bullying someone because you think they are fat, and it’s wrong.
Many people who fat shame think that they are doing the obese a favor and that their criticism will somehow motivate people to lose weight, eat less, and get healthier. Others are just cruel, mean trolls who say rude things because they can. Regardless of the type or intention, people who fat shame are bullies and they are causing overweight people to not only feel horrible about themselves, but to suffer psychological harm as well. Just imagine how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of a public dress down like the poor guy in this video.
The clip starts off with a group of women standing in line at McDonald’s. They had started making rude comments about how they thought fat people shouldn’t be in there when they turned to the larger man next to them. The women started harassing the poor customer, saying things like “Leave now, do yourself a favor” and “You should stop eating!” They continued to verbally attack the poor guy until finally another man steps in to his defense. He asks the group of rude women “what are you doing?” but they just drone on spouting off offensive and hurtful things.
Rather than stand there and take it any longer, the second man decided to cool things down a bit by pouring a cup of water over the head of one of the aggressive women! As he dumped it on her he basically told her that it was an instant dose of karma being delivered for her “disrespect,” and the crowd went wild! Fellow customers looking on laughed, gasped, and cheered in delight. They’d had enough of all the belittling, fat shaming, and blatant rudeness being displayed by the women. After all, they went to McDonald’s for a quick bite to eat and probably just wanted to order their tasty food and be on their way.
After this video came out, the reaction online was immediately split as to whether it was real or fake. It seemed somewhat staged but no one could tell or know for certain if it was. As it turns out, the video was a set-up, made by a prank YouTube station called Trollstation. And while the video may seem cruel and unusual, it’s brought some much needed light and attention to a situation that for many people is all too real.
In the end, there’s just no need for any extra and unnecessary hate in the world. If someone has nothing nice to say, then they should keep their mouths shut, plain and simple. Life is too short to be miserable, live it for you and only you, not some random judgmental jerks on the internet or the streets.

Neglected Circus Tiger Was Put In a Tiny Rusty Cage For 12 Years. Now Watch When He’s Freed.
image via – youtube.com
A tiny rusty old cage is no place for any wild animal to live, let alone a full grown tiger. Sadly, that’s exactly where a beautiful tiger named Hoover was forced to live his life as part of a traveling circus in Peru.
While the details of Hoover’s early life remain mostly unknown, it’s believed that he was originally part of a group of 6-12 tigers that the circus used in their shows. By the time his rescuers got to him, he was the last remaining one. Over the past twelve years of his life he had been mistreated, abused, and forced to perform tricks. When he wasn’t being openly exploited he was kept locked up in a cramped cage day in and day out, always on the move. He needed help fast or he would die.
Life was anything but natural and comfortable for Hoover. His captors brought him from one town to the next where he was allowed out only for shows. His cage was completely inadequate for such a large, majestic tiger and barely allowed him any room to move around. He spent the days pacing back and forth in the hot, dusty, stale air with nothing to stimulate his mind or play with. All he had was a dusty floor to lay on that was surrounded by metal bars and dirt. There was no real shelter overhead to protect him from the elements and the neglectful state he was held in was horrendous.
The circus that Hoover was found with had been on the run for eight months before authorities caught up with them. For years a number of travelling circuses had operated in Peru using wild animals in their shows. The country recently changed the law and passed a circus animal ban in response to widespread cruelty, abuse, and sub-par conditions in which most circus animals were kept. The ban made it illegal to keep or use animals in circus shows and authorities have been working alongside animal advocacy non-profits, like Animal Defenders International (ADI), to strictly enforce it. Thanks to a tip from the public they’d received, ADI was able to stage a surprise raid on the circus and recover Hoover.
They immediatley took him to their resuce center in Peru and threw open the cage door to let him out and taste freedom for the first time. This video captures the moment he was finally released from his life of abuse and neglect. For the first time in perhaps all of his 12 years he was able to fully stretch out and do the one action that all cats seem to love! After his stretch he cautiously headed through the door and out into the temporary holding pen, where he stepped onto soft green grass. The grass on the bottom of his paws must have felt so strange and yet wonderful.
The veterinarians at ADI checked him out and found he was sick and emaciated. After months of rehab the big tiger was restored back to full health and once he was given the all clear, he was ready to head to his new forever home at Big Cat Rescue (BCR) in Florida. Getting a full grown tiger from Peru to America is no small operation. It took a full year before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finally gave its approval and only then did Hoover’s road trip begin. The journey involved multiple trucks and transfers before he was secured into a cargo plane for the final leg of his trip. Vets and caretakers monitored his health closely to ensure he was safe and comfortable every step of the way.
When he finally touched down and arrived at the BCR facility he was released into his new enclosure to check it all out. His new habitat is worlds away from the cramped barren cage he was held in, it’s filled with an abundance of plants, trees, grasses, and other greenery. There’s also platforms to rest on in the sunshine and a lake to swim and cool off in on the premises. Check out the clip to see Hoover exploring his new digs, drinking from the lake, walking among the trees, and sniffing at the ground. From the looks of it, he loves the water and couldn’t be happier!
Hoover will live out the rest of his life at BCR where he’s free to wander about his new habitat completely unchained. He no longer faces a life full of uncertainty and constant travel, there are no more people gawking at him, or trainers abusing him. Instead, he finally has the chance to spend his final years among other tigers, in the wild where he’s protected and able to move about on his own, and that is beautiful.
