Sometimes the news can just be way too sad. After a Ukraine International Airlines flight landed in Toronto, it was discovered that dozens of puppies on board the flight had died during the trip. Many more of them were seriously sick.

CBC News reports that the flight, which was carrying 500 French bulldog puppies arrived at Pearson International Airport on Saturday, June 13.

A spokesperson from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which is responsible for animal importation as well, said in a statement that 38 of the animals were found dead upon inspection.

An investigation is currently underway into what happened, with CFIA officials saying that the results will determine what steps are taken next.

Ukraine International Airlines commented on the incident in a June 19 post to their Facebook page.

“Everyone at UIA offers its condolences for the tragic loss of animal life on our flight,” it reads, “UIA is working with local authorities to determine what happened and to make any changes necessary to prevent such a situation from occurring again.”

The airline had actually released a longer statement about the incident on Tuesday. However, it was deleted from their Facebook page. Global Newswas able to save a screenshot of it.

“For many years, our airline, just like other carriers, has been transporting animals for commercial purposes to other countries, including the USA and Canada,” it read.

The statement also claimed that it never received any documentation from Canadian travel authorities or anyone at Pearson Airport that the animals had died during the flight.

Abby Lorenzen, who CBC News refers to as a “professional show dog handler,” posted her firsthand account with the arrival of the flight at Pearson on Facebook.

“Those animals didn’t need to suffer like that . That airline should of never taken on so much live animals to begin with !!!!” she writes.

“The brokers knew they amount of Dogs on flight , the pet people there waiting had no idea the mass amount nor did their breeders myself or my friend until this flight landed and apparently Toronto and the agents didn’t know also.”

Update – The song was co-written by JAY-Z.

On Friday night (June 19), Beyoncé dropped a surprise track titled ‘‘BLACK PARADE.’’ 

The 38-year-old songstress released the track on Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. She also explained that her latest offering will support black-owned small businesses. 

“Happy Juneteenth Weekend! I hope we continue to share joy and celebrate each other, even in the midst of struggle. Please continue to remember our beauty, strength and power. ‘BLACK PARADE’ celebrates you, your voice and your joy and will benefit Black-owned small businesses,” she wrote. 

Beyoncé’s surprise track came a few days after she penned a letter to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, who was fatally shot inside her home three months ago. Since then, “Breonna’s Law” has been passed, which bans no-knock search warrants.

Jordan Brand this week confirmed to Complex that the Air Jordan XI “Cool Grey” is not getting a retro release in 2020.

“We don’t have plans to release them at this time,” said a spokesperson via email.

Speculation about the sneaker’s possible return began last Friday, when Jayson Tatum, a Jordan Brand athlete, posted a photo of a new pair of the sneakers to his Snapchat account. The “Cool Grey” Air Jordan XI last released in December 2010, so many assumed that Tatum’s possession of a newer pair meant it was slated to arrive at retail soon.

Rather than a marker of things to come, the Jordan spokesperson says, the sneakers are specially made just for Tatum, who always wanted them growing up. His “Cool Grey” XI is notable for its use of mesh around the laces on the upper, where retail versions of the shoe have always used nubuck. Around the time of the 2010 pair’s release, leaked images from sportswear supplier Eastbay showed a similar mesh take on the shoe, but that pair never hit retail shelves.

The “Cool Grey” Jordan XI debuted in March 2001 as the first non-original colorway for Jordan’s eleventh signature sneaker. It has only returned once since then, although, a Low iteration did arrive in 2018. The colors are not connected to any team that Michael Jordan played for, but he did wear the original “Cool Grey” Jordan XI during his time with the Washington Wizards in the early 2000s.

According to longtime Nike employee Gentry Humphrey, the “Cool Grey” Jordan XI’s palette was inspired by the grey shades of the “Neon” Air Max 95. Humphrey was the footwear product director at the time of the sneaker’s original release.

As the shoe has been absent for a decade, many have guessed that it will come back eventually via Jordan Brand’s annual December Air Jordan XI release, but that doesn’t look to be the case this year. Instead, leaked images show a new black and white colorway that’s expected to drop in December.
