Happy new year everyone and welcome to 2017, I'm Kat Curtis! We're back after an extended break and let me tell you, it's good to be here. We hope everyone had an awesome time over the holidays and you're all as recharged as we are! Not let's get down to some business. Roxanne is standing by in the newsroom and she's starting us off in China, where a government decision is being hailed as a major win for animal rights activists.!
