Gun Antlers And Other Stories We Didn’t Post

So much news passes before our collective eyes every day that we couldn’t possibly cover it all. Mostly because much of it isn’t worth covering! But here are a some borderline tidbits we passed on, just in case.

The Great Salmon Virus Scare

We could spend hours debating which is greater — the fish? the sickness? the fearmongering? — but suffice it to say that there is a salmon virus afoot, and it is taking out orange fish faster than a mama grizzly in a spring thaw.

And by all accounts, this is far worse the Great Tilapia Rickets Conundrum of 1892. [Gothamist]
