Horses & Mules at the Forefront of Texas Flood RecoveryIn the aftermath of the deadly July 4 flash floods in Texas’ Kerr County—one of the worst inland flooding events in recent memory—search and recovery teams are turning to a timeless ally: that’s right, horses and mules.
Why? Because where debris-strewn banks and unstable terrain block vehicles, these animals can still go. Mounted teams are working alongside an army of responders: helicopters, airboats, search dogs, drones, and cadaver dogs. It’s part of one of the largest inland flood recovery operations in U.S. history. These Mounted teams are combing the Guadalupe River’s rugged, debris-filled areas. They’re able to reach pockets of woods, riverbanks, and ravines that rescue boats and crews couldn’t access.
At the same time, they are helping transport rescuers, volunteers, and even supplies through terrain too treacherous for trucks or trailers. Equine teams are proving to be more than symbols—they’re assets, bridging gaps between modern technology and natural limitations.
Jay Cutler's Legal Hunt Sparks Outrage — But the Real Story Hits DifferentWell, it looks like former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is in hot water—not for a bad pass, but for a perfect shot on a hunting trip in South Africa.
Jay posted a photo of himself with a sable antelope he legally hunted, and the internet lost its mind. Keyboard critics called it cruel, accused him of killing a "critically endangered" species, and slammed him for everything from animal rights to ego. But here’s the truth: they got the antelope wrong.
Jay hunted a common sable, which is legal, ethical, and not endangered. The animal some folks are confusing it with—the giant sable—is endangered, but it only lives in central Angola, nowhere near South Africa. So yeah, the internet outrage? Pretty misinformed.
And here's the kicker—hunts like Jay’s actually help fund conservation. In countries like South Africa, those guided hunts pour money into habitat preservation, anti-poaching, and wildlife protection.
Did Jay apologize? Nope. He doubled down, posting more pics and videos, writing: “Another great day.” And hey, if you're on the hunter's side, you know—it was a clean hunt, from a healthy herd, and for a good cause.
So before folks throw stones from their smartphones, maybe take a closer look at the facts—and the antelope.
