A U.K. community group has bought out the remaining supply of plastic frisbee-like toys from a seaside town thanks to growing concerns that seals would choke on toys left behind by beach-goers.

, shop owners in the area agreed to stop selling the ring toys and not to stock them in the future due to concerns for the animals in the area.

The community group announced that it will use a portion of a grant fund to buy the surplus of 288 frisbees in an effort to help local businesses become more environmentally friendly.

Assault charge laid after group confronts ref at Lethbridge hockey tournamentA 55-year-old man from Standoff, Alta. has been charged with assault, and charges are pending against a 36-year-old man, following an incident at a youth hockey tournament in Lethbridge on Sunday. The ref should never be allowed to ref again. It is on the ref to keep people calm, he escalated. And apparently if he was violent against the kid should be brought up on charges too. But seriously, how the hell do you get caught be someone in shoes on ice while you wear skates. You take this parent outside behind the barn, give him a real good whoopin, then ban him from attending any hockey game for the rest of his life! Oh and a $10000 fine just for being a moron. People in society have degenerated into cesspool!
