The visible portion of the 13-foot-tall (4-meter-tall) Christmas tree isn't ancient, but its root system has been growing for 9,550 years, according to a team led by Leif Kullman, professor at UmeÃ¥ University's department of ecology and environmental science in Sweden. Enlarge Photo.
Here are the facts: 1  More than 100 million animals are reported killed by hunters each year.  The vast majority of species that are hunted -- waterfowl, upland birds, mourning doves, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, crows, coyotes, etc. -- provide minimal sustenance and do not require population control.
43,500 animals killed by dogs in 2013. Overall, the 416 dogs who attacked other animals in 2013, the 576 animals they killed, and the 200 animals they seriously injured, according to media reports, appear to represent about 76 times more attacking dogs and more animal victims than the reported totals.
