Miley Cyrus speaks out against the wolf cull

This past weekend the singer and her brother Braison Cyrus headed North to British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest, where they joined forces with Pacific Wild (a local conservation group) in an effort to stop the wolf cull.

Per CBC News, the wolf cull is an annual, legal hunt that's necessary to "remove" the wolves in an effort to save the endangered caribou. Not surprisingly, many environmental activists have called for its end.

Tima Kurdi said through tears outside her home in British Columbia that she plans to help her brother, Abdullah, and her other siblings immigrate to the country she made home more than two decades ago.

Abdullah isn't ready to leave his Syrian hometown of Kobani, where his sons, 3-year-old Aylan and 5-year-old Ghalib, and wife Rehanna were buried on Friday, she said. They drowned after piling into an overloaded boat in Turkey headed for the Greek island of Kos. Her brother was among the few survivors.
