For the first time since 1972, the powers that be are shutting down the annual Rainbow Family gathering. The Rainbow Family of Living Light is a leaderless group of people who gather each July for communal primitive camping. (Additional gatherings occur throughout the year in other countries.) These modern-day hippies sometimes gather in groups of thousands. In fact, this year’s gathering might have reached up to 10,000, according to the New York Post.

He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
