Karly Moran-West is suing the Chicago Animal Care and Control and the Fetching Tails Foundation for allegedly violating Illinois animal agency law. She claimed that the animal control agency admitted her golden retriever Zeus into a dog pound before he was adopted out to another family. However, perhaps the most critical part of the lawsuit is the fact that she was never contacted by the city’s animal control agency, although his collar had her phone number embroidered on it....

Car crashes remain a top U.S. public safety concern: in 2019, for example, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics recorded about 6.7 million car accidents, resulting in 36,096 fatalities. These numbers have only increased since the start of the pandemic, as COVID-19 brought major shifts to the way people drive. According to a report by Vox, 2020 saw a significant spike in car-related fatalities, and the trend is expected to continue through 2021....

Teresa Jack, 32, from Utah adopted eight-year-old Corgi Watson when he was three. A lifelong Corgi owner, Jack knew Watson had special needs and knew she was the right person to care for him. However, Watson’s previous owners had him “debarked.” Debarking or devocalization is a surgical procedure that involves removing portions of a dog’s vocal cords. Generally performed in an attempt to decrease the volume, pitch or intensity of a dog’s park, the medical term for the procedure is ventriculocordectomy....

Of the 100 highest-earning films of 2020, 16% of them were directed by women. This includes movies like Birds of Prey (directed by Cathy Yan) and Wonder Woman 1984 (directed by Patty Jenkins).

The health care sector’s gender wage gap is mostly “unexplained” but could be “due to discrimination towards women,” the ILO said. The gap is larger than gender wage gaps in other industries but differs from one country to another, according to a Wednesday ILO news release. That “wide variation” identified in health care sectors around the world suggests “pay gaps in the sector are not inevitable and that more can be done to close these gaps,” the ILO said....

Previously, a #1 contender was to be decided, with Jungle Grrrl, the Beast, and Havok facing off in a triple threat match. However, Havok’s tag team partner Hazard interfered in the bout, forcing a no-contest. With that, Blanchard stated that she would be the one to decide her #1 contender. This week’s episode kicked off with the champion meeting with Sophia Lopez to make the all-important decision. We cut to the ring as Blanchard was handed a briefcase....

This week’s episode of WOW kicked off with Tessa Blanchard, the WOW World Champion. After a successful title defense against Serpentine on the previous episode, the Undeniable One wanted to set the record straight about how things have gone down lately. Considering the way she won the title, many feel that she’s undeserving to represent the company as its champion. Blanchard said that regardless of what happened, she won the WOW World Championship on her own, and the only reason Jungle Grrrl was undefeated for eighteen years was that she never faced someone like her before....

A slap shot off a PC from captain Rani Rampal in the third minute ensured an ideal start for the Indians but Mori Kanon’s goal in the eleventh minute levelled things up for the hosts who defended grittily and managed a few lightning-quick counter-attacks which tested the Indian defence. A barren second quarter witnessed a see-saw battle but Rani Rampal and co. had the better of the exchanges with 5 circle entries while the Asian Games champions failed to get past the Indian defence....

That much was clear in the aftermath of a thrilling 73-63 victory over Louisville in the Women’s Final Four at Nationwide Arena on Friday. Coach Vic Schaefer marked up the score sheet in silence. Teaira McCowan looked back and forth at teammates Victoria Vivians and Roshunda Johnson, who whispered to each other. A few seconds later, Schaefer addressed the shot that defined the dramatic victory. “Let’s face it,” Schaefer said....

After winning the ODI series 2-1, Indian women lost momentum and subsequently the T20 series. With an aim to build a squad for ICC World T20 in 2020, the Indian team management decided to drop team’s senior batswoman Mithali Raj, who is no longer considered a force to reckon with in the shortest format. Only time will tell whether this inspired call pays dividends in the long run but the results have been far from encouraging in the first two matches which India lost by 23 runs and four wickets respectively....

The women’s team, however, remains in reputation-building mode. Colombia reaches the Round of 16 for the first time after failing to qualify for three straight World Cups before falling in the first round in 2011. So as Abby Wambach , Hope Solo , Alex Morgan and company continue to chase their first World Cup title to accompany their myriad of Olympic gold medals, Colombia stands as the first obstacle to the prize....

The Americans wasted hardly any time getting on the board as Alex Morgan scored in the 12th minute. Kelley O’Hara blew past two defenders in the box and then Morgan headed it to the back of the net, marking her fourth career World Cup goal. But that was only the start for Morgan. She quickly made a statement, finishing with five goals. Rose Lavelle quickly doubled USA’s score by picking up the ball outside the area and driving toward goal....

On target as a substitute in the 13-0 humiliation of Thailand, co-captain Lloyd made the most of her elevation to the starting XI as she netted either side of Julie Ertz’s header in the first half. The celebrations — muted in comparison to the exuberant scenes that attracted criticism on Tuesday — were kept in check from there, though, with Lloyd unable to convert a controversially awarded penalty towards the end....

England advanced through Group D with three wins from three and the nation was comfortable winners in Valenciennes to set up a last-eight tie with Norway on Thursday. Stephanie Houghton opened the scoring 14 minutes in from an indirect free-kick and White scored for the fourth time in this year’s competition — her fifth overall in the finals, equal with Fara Williams — before Alex Greenwood rounded off the scoring to send England on its way....
