The Mercury highlights recent local news from Portland, focusing on a vegan bakery, Shoofly, where staff walked off due to unpaid wages from the new owner. In another troubling story, an elephant seal pup was stabbed, prompting outrage and an investigation by NOAA to find the perpetrator. On a lighter note, an Oregon State Police trooper helped save ducks crossing a busy road, illustrating the range of events impacting the community, from serious issues to acts of kindness.
If you stop by Shoofly, the delicious vegan bakery in Southeast Portland, you may be greeted with an unpleasant surprise: the normally boisterous cafe is quiet, and the doors are locked.
The world is a horrible place. Someone stabbed an elephant seal pup on the Oregon coast in March and got away with it...we were disturbed about that behavior and why they would do that to one of these seals.
In slightly more optimistic animal-related news, some ducks crossing I-205 were saved Monday when an Oregon State Police trooper stopped all traffic to ensure their safe passage.
