Lorde grows up, cheetah fetish and our only cycle detective

Good Lorde, here are more faces with the stories they tell. The Kiwi child phenomenon Lorde (real name Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor) confesses to City News storyteller Lindsay Dunn that she was rather full of herself when she broke in as a tweener. It happens. Then at centre is Rachael Bale, head of the Animals Desk at National Geographic. She tells ABC News about the nasty trade in cheetahs among wealthy people in the Persian Gulf. The little cat-like creatures are said to live miserable lives as pets. At right is Canada’s first and only bicycle detective Rob Brunt, of Vancouver. He appears in this CBC report and recounts how bikes worth maybe $6,000 will trade for $200 in drugs.
