It’s a sobering reminder to be cautious during summer swims, especially as temperatures rise. Have you ever thought twice about swimming in local lakes or rivers?

Wesley Romero+FollowSecret chimp found in Missouri basementA hidden chimpanzee was just discovered living in the basement of Tonia Haddix, the star of HBO’s Chimp Crazy, after her recent arrest for dodging court orders and unpaid legal fees to PETA. Authorities raided her Missouri home and found the mature female chimp in a makeshift enclosure, complete with blankets and snacks. Haddix, who previously faked a chimp’s death to avoid surrendering him, is now in jail awaiting sentencing. PETA hopes this marks the end of her runarounds.
