Five things you need to know
1. New York set to become 1st US state to make declawing cats illegal
On Tuesday, the New york state legislature voted to pass a measure that would make it illegal to declaw your cat. If the state’s governor signs the bill, it would make New York the first state in America to outlaw the practice. It is, however, illegal in some cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver.

It’s pride month, but a proposed ‘Straight Parade’ is receiving plenty of attention right now. However, it’s not good attention. The organizers, who say the parade will absolutely happen, are getting dragged through the mud on social media. The tentative date for the controversial parade is Aug. 31.

4. Factory strike could result in a worldwide Nutella shortage
Work has stopped at the Villers-Ecalles factory in Normandy, France as employees demand for better pay and salary negotiations. Normally, it doesn’t seem like news that would have too big of an effect on the rest of the world, but this is one of the world’s largest factories that just so happens to produce 600,000 jars of Nutella per day. You better stock up!
