Merseyside police have ordered the local community to “stop grieving” after Liverpudlians flocked to deposit flowers, cards and teddy bears in tribute to a dead chicken found in an alleyway. According to the BBC, one card read: “RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx.”

CNN reports on the following:
NORFOLK, Nebraska (AP) — “Welcome to Wal-Mart” is not exactly the greeting a recent visitor got at a Nebraska store.
In fact, a deer initially escaped the Wal-Mart greeter’s attention last week when it entered through the exit of the supermarket part of the store.
Then the greeter heard a noise, looked up and saw the fawn run past her.
The animal had hit the slick floor and fallen, only to recover quickly and scurry down the aisles.
After doing a little looking around, the deer was tackled by a customer. Others then tied its legs so it couldn’t kick, placed it in a shopping cart and pushed it outside.
“It’s not everyday that happens,” Wal-Mart Co-Manager Cameron Stowe told the Norfolk Daily News.
The deer caused no damage and no one, including the animal, was hurt, Stowe said.
Officials took the deer to nearby TaHaZouka Park and released it.
