Alexandra Kerry: Dad Gave Hamster CPR

Would-be first daughter Alexandra Kerry revealed Thursday night that her father's habit of saving men overboard didn't end with his Swift Boat rescue of fellow Vietnam veteran Jim Rassman.

what other men is he in save?

In a bizarre recollection, Alexandra told the Democratic convention crowd how the family waited dockside one summer day to embark on a trip, when the cage housing her sister's hamster "Licorice" tumbled into the drink.

who in jackass bring em hamster canoeing!?! ima think they not very good rowers. im also wanna know who in knock him in water!

"My dad jumped in, grabbed an oar, fished the cage from the water, hunched over the soggy hamster and began to administer CPR," the Kerry daughter told the audience. "There are still to this day some reports of mouth-to-mouth, but I admit it's probably a trick of memory."

ima have trick of memory but usualy involve money.

Actually, the textbook definition of CPR includes mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, though what techniques may be appropriate for hamster rescue is anybody's guess. Too bad Sen. Kerry didn't have his trusty 8 mm camera along to re-enact his hamster heroism for posterity.

ima give him medal but afraid he is toss em.
im been busy lately and am thank you for posts. im still cant see coments at work and am play with some new coment hosters. maybe this weekend we are have new coments other than haloscan. ima test this wekend. :)

Japanese American Family Getting The Shaft In Texas

'Jap Road' to Be Renamed 'Boondocks Road'

Thu Jul 29,11:31 AM ET

By Wendy Grossman

HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) - Texans living on "Jap Road" decided the best way to remove the racial slur from the country lane would be to rename it "Boondocks Road" after a defunct catfish restaurant, officials say.

So far, so good...


The residents chose the name because the restaurant had been a popular spot in southeastern Texas and its name was easier to pronounce than that of the Japanese family who settled the road in the early 1900s.


The new name must be approved by the Jefferson County Commissioners.


The four-mile road has been around about 100 years and was said to be named in honor of Yoshio Mayumi and his family, who introduced rice farming to the region.

Jap Road honor name? Cracker!

Japanese Americans and others tried to change the name for a decade because "Jap Road" is viewed as a racial slur. Some said they were unhappy with the choice, which they said belied the residents' earlier insistence that "Jap Road" should remain because of its long history.

Not everything in history should be celebrated fondly.

The push to change the name picked up steam after a discrimination complaint last year asking that federal funds to Jefferson County be cut off. Commissioners voted this month that the name had to go.

The 170 Jap Road residents voted on a list of names that included "Mayumi Road," but "Boondocks" won as a write-in.

Wayne Wright, among those assigned to come up with the new name, said many residents could not pronounce "Mayumi" but could easily recall the name of the fried catfish shack, which closed about 10 years ago.

I think people would become accustomed to the pronunciation after awhile, and even if they did not, so what?

"Everyone in this area, even newcomers that haven't even been to the Boondocks, have heard of the Boondocks," he said.

I have never heard of that stupid restuarant. God help me if I ever live in Texas though.God help Texas if I ever live in Texas!

John Tateishi, executive director of the Japanese American Citizens League, said Boondocks was not a happy choice.

"I'm very disappointed that they have chosen not to recommend a name that will reflect what they were saying all along about wanting to honor this family that lived there on that road. It's unfortunate," he said.

It is unforunate! I am doubtful that they were trying to honor the Mayumi family with the name "jap".

Wright was unapologetic.

"They (Japanese Americans) pounded on us for 11 years. I hope they learned something from it. There's no winners in this," he said Wednesday.

?!? I hope that Wright gets his head out his ass someday. I am very unapologetic with that sentiment.

This reminds me of a similar issue we were having where I live, in the phoenix area. We have a mountain named Squaw Peak, or what passes for a mountain in AZ.

Anyway, Governor Janet Napolitano, wanted to rename the peak after the first native american woman who died overseas in a conflict: Spc. Lori Piestewa of Tuba City, AZ. Piestewa died in Iraq.

So the Governor went ahead and changed the name to Piestewa Peak, and some people here went ape. In fact, they are still trying to change the name back to Sqauw Peak. Here is a story
on it:

href:="Sides'>http://www.arizonatribune.com/index.php?sty=3238" www.arizonatribune.com http:>Sides square off over effort to rename landmark

I don't understand it. I like the name Piestewa better than "squaw".

It's dumb.

Gone back

Due to you whiners and cry babies, I've gone back to the old style. Now you don't have to complain about how it looks different and you can't read it because the font is too small.

Also, this is my last post in this blog. I'm leaving for good.

Man in court for 'raping dog'

Pathetic
 
A suburban Chicago man is in court today facing charges he raped a female dog, facing up to nine years in prison and $75,000 in fines if convicted.  Daniel Joyner of Elburn, Ill., was arrested in the town of Geneva last month, after allegedly sodomizing the pit bull-boxer mix with a bottle before having sex with the animal himself.

I am speechless.

 

headaches

sorry i am experiencing some turbulence whilst transitioning to the new blog layout. There will continue to be bumps but please remember to keep your tray tables in their upright positions and stow away all electronic devices.

Also, I am having trouble with the 'comments' section as you can see. If any of you want to try and help me fix the comments section, go ahead. It's acting strange.

Now, I leave you with an image of a walking macaque.

Demolition Woman

Oops, Wrong Car. Sorry.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman became so furious after a fight with her husband she stormed out of the house armed with a hammer and smashed up his car -- before realizing she had vandalized the wrong vehicle, police said Wednesday. 

The 43-year-old from Essen, western Germany, told police she shattered the windshield, broke the headlights and wrenched off the wing mirrors, causing more than $1,200 in damage, because she was filled with rage after a telephone quarrel.

After going back indoors she realized she had battered the wrong car. Only noticing the color, she had attacked her neighbor's blue Opel Corsa and not the blue Ford Fiesta belonging to her spouse.

I thought this was funny.

Mommy Dearest Rhino Mum

Baby Rhino in Plaster After Mum Steps on Foot

BERLIN (Reuters) - A new-born baby rhinoceros in a Berlin zoo is in plaster after his mother carelessly trod on his foot one day after his birth, zookeepers said on Tuesday. 

Poor baby! Welcome to this world, I'll show you everything...(crunch)

Patna, born last week to mother Betty and father Belur, will have to wear a plaster cast on his left lower leg for up to five weeks to heal a broken leg.

That is a horrible how-do-you-do!
                                           

The incident is not the first in the zoo, which now houses seven rhinos.
"In 2002, mother Betty, also born in the zoo, killed her first child by treading on the baby shortly after birth," said zoo keeper Ingolf Kastierke.

It sounds like Betty is needing some help with her kin.
Parenting classes?

Zoo keepers had waited in keen anticipation of Betty's second baby, the zoo's second this year.
But the morning after birth they noticed the baby was limping and called in the vet.

!Warning! Betty is up to no good!

 
"We assume that the mother had trodden on her son in the middle of the night," said Kastierke. Luckily the injury was easily treated and keepers expect a full recovery.

Take the baby away! Obviously Betty doesn't want children. Or at least figure out why she is having adverse reactions to her babies.

The baby has already put on five kilos since birth.
The zoo said only four or five rhinoceros are born in zoos in Europe per year.

Well, I am scared for this baby's life. I hope they are monitering the mama and baby carefully.

Maybe they should stop breeding Betty?

Breaking Terror News

 At Phoenix Sky Harbor airport today, an individual later discovered to be
a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft
said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement.
He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
 "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average
solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every triangle'."
 When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
I don't know who wrote this, it wasn't me but is too good not to pass along.

My Alma Mater Gets Recognition

Nine out of Ten Would be Adequate.
 Researchers at Alabama's Auburn University say they have determined what men want in the "ideal woman": she is sexually inexperienced but likes sex, has a career but is a full-time homemaker, has a slim build, is athletic, and has pretty eyes, dark hair, good complexion and a firm butt. Large breasts are nice, but not all that important. Except to the woman.
 The study's lead author, Erica Gannon, says the specifications are similar to what is found in the Bible. "Our participants, whether knowingly or unknowingly, espouse a view of the ideal woman that is very similar to the views held by individuals thousands of years ago." However, she adds, "It's hard to be this woman." (UPI) ...About as hard as being the ideal man: strong yet gentle, powerful yet sensitive, has a great career yet helps clean the house and raise the children, in control yet cries, and a sex expert who's only been with one woman. When I was at Auburn the freshmen women were required to live on campus and had to be in the dorm by 10:00PM. Very hard on Architectural students.

Another Baby Boomer Sells Out

Ex-Turtle Rocker and Wall Street 'Happy Together'
Mon Jul 26, 9:15 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Guitar picks and stock picks may mesh more than you might think.  

 $$$$$$$

"Traders are kind of like rock stars," said David Nelson, a lead guitarist for The Turtles who traded in his 1959 Stratocaster, long hair and leather pants for a briefcase and suspenders in the world's financial capital.  

 Fairly long tranisition! And, no, traders are not like Rock Stars.                 

"It's an exciting personality -- and hedge funds are 'la creme de la creme,'" said Nelson, 56, who is now rocking on a new stage as the head of his own hedge fund company, DC Nelson Asset Management.  

Hedge funds are the safest things out there. 
How Booooooring. A real rock star would have 
rode the waves of the dot.com's. 
                                                      
He made the big-time playing with The Turtles, the 1960s band known for such hits as "Happy Together" that regrouped in the late 1970s to tour. 
                                                         
Nelson, whose former rock uniform was "anything to scare the mothers of every child in the audience," left the Turtles in 1991 after nearly 20 years and earned his stock broker license.
Short-haired and well-dressed, Nelson now sits in front of blinking computer screens in his office for 13 hours a day.  

So how is the weather?
                                        
His unusual transition from rock to stocks was not driven by a desire to get serious, but by his fear of going deaf. 
                                                                                               
"We used to get about as loud as a jet engine taking off. Every time I hit the stage I was in pain," he said. 

After 4 decades of singing Happy Together, I'd be sick of 
the shtick too, but Trading is an evil pastime.                              
Another example of how the 1950's corrupted American  youth. 

Putting the Bite on Mailmen

Putting the Bite on Mailman-Shaped Dog Treats
Fri Jul 23, 9:05 AM ET
TORONTO (Reuters) - Dogs chomping on mail carrier-shaped treats is no laughing matter for Canada Post.  
The unamused Canadian postal service -- whose carriers endure more than their share of real dog bites -- convinced Pet Valu Inc. stores to stop carrying Bark Bars, dog biscuits that come shaped like cats and letter carriers.
Dogs can'y have fun too?
"This is not in any way, shape, or form funny for us, and to make light of that ... I don't see that as funny at all, not even in the least," said John Caines, Canada Post's national media relations manager.
I can't help it. It IS funny. My dogs LOVE the mail lady and have repeatedly tried to get in her car. So have I actually. 
The pet store chain, which has 292 outlets in Canada, agreed to withdraw the treats after it received a letter from Canada Post saying that employees were concerned about the risks mail carriers face from dogs and unhappy with having dog biscuits shaped in their likeness.
Earlier this summer, a letter carrier from Chatham in southwestern Ontario broke both her wrists and had part of her ear ripped off when she was attacked by two pitbull-like dogs.
Caines said that in the first six months of 2004 there were 160 dog attacks on mail carriers across Canada.
It is a problem with some dogs, though. I'd hate to get my ear ripped off.

pek pek mobaho

say hello my stinky litle friend! (ace ventura):

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Drug users and prostitutes are turning up their noses at the condemned buildings they once frequented in Richland County. Deputies here have begun using a chemical spray that makes the places smell like a skunk has come calling.

eeew sticky nicky! what in that stank! ima want my 5 bucks back!

Skunk Shot, made in New Zealand, contains synthetic skunk oil in a gel-like substance and was originally intended as a cat and dog repellent. It's a stinking solution for a disturbing problem in some neighborhoods. Vagrants' use of the buildings has taken a nose dive, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.

no pun intend? in a way it still in cat and dog repelent. ima glad this synthetic.

"In the 11 places we've used it, it has been very successful," said Lott, who ordered 10 tubes of gel at $14.95 each in January.

Richland County sheriff's Cpl. Danny Brown spends part of his time spreading the stink in buildings that owners say they want to stop trespassers from visiting. Across the street, Donald Martin and his 9-year-old son, Tim Napoleon, watched with curiosity from their front porch as Brown worked inside a building. They usually see a different sight.

theyare can see thru walls?

"They do drugs in the house. I see them go in through the back and come out in 20 or 30 minutes. ... They think nobody really sees them," Martin said.

But Martin will probably be seeing less of the unwelcome neighbors at the house, which has a notice out front saying it is condemned property. Inside, Brown and Master Deputy Ben Bolding step into pure squalor: used condoms on a dingy carpet, a worn-out sofa cushion on the floor and a tattered beer can probably used to smoke crack.

ooops! they are accidently walk in marion barry hotel room.

"Don't go in the bathroom," Brown told a visitor. "Someone used the tub as a toilet."

someone is have bad aim. at least it wasnt em sink

Brown ripped open the seal on Skunk Shot tube and held his breath. He squeezed a dab onto a pouch and dropped it down a vent, then smeared the sofa cushion with the goo. Closets and carpets also got the treatment.

a litle dab in do ya. ima not wanna get near that cushion to begin with. but why arent they just throw it out?

"It will get so bad, you won't be able to stand to be in here. The heat will make it worse," he said.
He did the same on an old mattress in a shed, emptying the tube. It's powerful.

a matress to!?! no wonder whores are go there! they are have all the tools of em trade there. and of course they are leave it there to.

"It's probably the worst thing I've ever smelled. It smells exactly like a skunk," Brown said.

A growing number of law enforcement agencies across the country have turned to the product to ward off trespassers, said Duncan MacMorran, chief executive of Connovation, which manufactures and distributes the gel.

The Los Angeles County sheriff's department began using it 18 months ago, said Lt. Shaun Mathers. In the Compton area near Los Angeles, abandoned buildings had been a hot spot for people to hang out and drink until they got a whiff of Skunk Shot.

they are stop drink when they are get a wiff of em skunk weed to. oh wait. never mind

"There's nothing cool about sitting around drinking beer when it smells like a skunk," said Mathers, who sells the product to other agencies as a side job.

thats what em goddam born on dating for! arent you ever watch tv! quit drink skunky beer and switch to bud lite! seriusly tho. this is good idea. for keeping em drug dealers and prostitutes out of em condem buildings once more leaving them safe for chilren to play. hey you scumbags! how are you like that! now you gonna have to take you activities to a park or something! ha!!!!!!!!!!

'GOTMILF' number plate upsets women

US transport officials have cancelled a motorist's personalised number plate 'GOT MILF' after complaints from women.

I wonder if he has white stuff on his upper lip? You know, like the posters.

Michael Syravong chose the registration for his Toyota Supra and managed to get it past the Department of Licensing.

Well, they are rocket scientists, afterall.

They failed to pick up on the fact that it was based on the obscene expression 'Milf' - Mums I'd Like to F*** - used in the American Pie movie.

OHMYGODIAMSHOCKED!!! Perhaps he should have chosen: “GOT CLASS”

Mr Syravong, from Snohomish County in Washington State, had told them it stood for "Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator", reports Komo News.

Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator? Nothing on Google.

"Yeah I just thought it sounded funny," he said. "Like 'Got Milk' and the term MILF was getting popular so - GOTMILF, I really didn't think about it."

Popular with whom?
But in the nearly two years he had the plate on his car, at least two mothers did think about it - and they didn't find it funny.

The rest were said to have slipped him their emails.

Emails of disgust rolled into the Department of Licensing. The women wrote that they found it offensive and, after months of review, the plate was officially canceled. “Yeah, I was a bit surprised, shocked, that someone would stoop that low to ruin my fun," said Mr Syravong.

Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

In his attempt to keep the plate he offered several possible alternative meanings for the phrase, including 'Got My Invitation Last Friday' and 'Got Married Into Lisa's Family'.

MILF: Moro Islamic Liberation Front?

Now that his attempt at humour as been called off he's replaced the personalised plate with another one – Idiot Punisher.

man is feed bear

this guy a winner:

Tallinn - A 31-year-old man who had just woken up from a drunken stupor after falling asleep overnight in a zoo in Estonia tried to offer a polar bear a biscuit - and had his hand bitten off.

bear is want to make em samwich

His screams drew security personnel, who promptly called an ambulance which took the man to hospital in the capital, Tallinn, the Baltic News Service reported. The unidentified man had passed out after consuming large amounts of alcohol with friends. He woke up in the early hours of Thursday, found the biscuit in his pocket offered it to the bear.

ok. this in getting wierd. why is he go to zoo after get drunk. is he think he find a date there? where are his friends go? is he always walk around em biscuit in him pocket? enquire minds are wanna know!

Tallinn Zoo manager Mati Kaal, who has worked more than 30 years at the zoo, told BNS that it was the 11th time he had heard of such accidents, although "this is the first hand. In other cases it's been the whole arm". - Sapa-dpa

the bear is not think itn accident. it sounding like bear is get cheat and only get hand this time stead of whole arm. man is shulda lissen old advice. dont feed the bears!

Very sad news al around.

SANIBEL, Fla. - A woman mauled by a 12-foot alligator died in surgery Friday, WBBH-TV reported.
advertisementJanie Melsek, a landscaper, was attacked behind a home on Wednesday. The 54-year-old woman was dragged into a pond before a neighbor and police officers yanked her from the animal’s jaws.
Part of Melsek’s right arm had to be amputated. She also was severely bitten on her buttocks and thighs. She was undergoing additional surgery Friday morning at Lee Memorial Hospital when she died.
Melsek was trimming a tree when the alligator lunged at her and grabbed her arm. “The lady was in the pond and the alligator had hold of her and just her face was showing,” a neighbor, Jim Anholt, told The News-Press of Fort Myers.
“It was kind of a tug-of-war,” said Anholt, who held Melsek’s neck to keep her head above water as three Sanibel police officers tried to get her out of the pond.
Rescuers struggled for about five minutes to get her away from the alligator. When she came free, medical workers began treating her on the shore.
Police later shot the alligator in the head. It took six men to lift the 12-foot, 3-inch animal to shore.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
 People in areas where there are large predators should always be aware of the risks. This is very sad for the woman and her family but maybe could have been prevented with some education about Alligators and there habits. I have been horrified by people I have met who moved to the South and treat alligators almost as pets. Feeding them from their boat docks and yards. I grew up in South Alabama with alligators, snapping turtles, rattlesnakes, and water moccassins and was taught to leave them alone.

A man sucked the toes or kissed the feet of two women and a girl in surprise assaults, police said.

ima trying think if im ever hear of non-surprise sexual asualt

A 12-year-old told police that she was reading at the library when James M. Kilpatrick, 21, of Greensburg, started kissing her feet, then offered her 22-year-old sister a dollar to let him do the same to her.

At a nearby park, one woman told police she dozed off while sunbathing and woke up to find Kilpatrick sucking her toes.

Kilpatrick remained jailed unable to post $10,000 bond after he waived his right to a preliminary hearing on indecent assault and other charges including stalking, corruption of minors and harassment.

12 year old is corrupt now?

All the incidents occurred between July 3 and July 9. All the victims picked out Kilpatrick from a photo lineup, police said. It wasn't immediately clear if Kilpatrick has an attorney.

Grave Robbing Monks

Bangkok Official: Fans Fit for Funerals
 
Thu Jul 22, 7:24 PM ET
AP

BANGKOK, Thailand - When it comes to paying last respects, an electric fan is better than a customary flower wreath, an official in Bangkok said Thursday.
 
hint, hint
 
Not only are small fans cheaper, but — unlike wreaths — they don't add to the capitol's massive garbage output and can be used afterward by poor Buddhist monks, said City Clerk Nathanon Thavisin.
 
i wonder who drafted this resolution?
 
Bangkok's Buddhist temples host hundreds of funerals a day. Mourners often send dozens of floral wreaths to show sympathy.
 
is sort of traditional, i am thinking
 
Nathanon initially made her suggestion on Monday while meeting with senior monks on how to tidy the grounds of crowded, busy temples.
 
lazy monks! wah, wah, too many flowers to tend to in the cemetery! too hot!
 
"There's nothing wrong or strange about an electric fan," Nathanon told The Associated Press. "It can replace the wreath beautifully, both in terms of price and usefulness."
 
is strange to see them in a cemetery, though. The dead do not care about temperatures,
is comfy in their coffins.
 
Decorating the appliances with small dried or paper flowers could make them prettier, she said.
 
the monks prefer daises, btw! Except for Kama, he is allergic
 
A small electric fan costs only about $10 — less than half the price of a good wreath, she said, adding that they "are definitely more useful and environmentally friendly."
 
flowers are really bad for the environment, tho. My neighbor has a flower
garden and it's has brought a real trashy look to the whole neighborhood.
He should dig it up and plant little electric fans before my property value
goes down!

The city's monasteries could donate the fans to poor countryside temples, Nathanon said.  
 
"could" being the key word here. maybe if some is left over after the divy up.
Kama needs at least 4 fans, because his room gets that hot morning sun.
 
"Many temples, particularly those in rural areas, need the fans to cool off," she said.
 
Monks suggested to Nathanon that Gator-aide would be also be an appropriate gravesite
leaving.

On a heavier note, it must be getting hotter in India. 
 

Man kept cockroaches as pets

Police were alarmed alerted in China after a lonely widower was found to be keeping 200,000 cockroaches as pets.
199,998, 199,999 ...did some really count 200,000 roaches? I would image that after they were crushed under foot getting a solid head may have difficult.

A horrified neighbour saw the insects swarming across the floor of the man's house in Beijing.
Someone was looking through the window! Naughty, naughty.

The pensioner told police he had begun breeding the cockroaches as a hobby after his wife died.
Eeeeeew! He was breeding with....Ooh! Sorry. Carry on.

It took health officials two hours to kill the insects and disinfect the man's home, according to the Beijing Morning Post.
And another five days to sort and count them.

Sly Fox Caught Stealing Kan. Newspapers
Xposed, July 2004
By AP Staff 

  OTTAWA, Kan.Neighbors in a subdivision of this small eastern Kansas community have spent weeks trying to catch whoever was stealing their Kansas City Star newspapers.The bold burglar crept onto driveways while subscribers slept, grabbed a paper, then turned tail and ran.The case was finally solved this weekend when Steve Thompson caught the culprit red-handed, or maybe red-pawed.A red fox had been grabbing newspapers and taking them to a hollow behind the subdivision, Thompson said. The Ottawa dentist tracked the furry felon to a large pile of newspapers near its den.
"We always thought it was an early morning jogger," said Lionel Sutton, another subdivision resident who had his paper stolen.The newspaper carrier even staked out the neighborhood to catch the canny criminal, Sutton said.Aaron Scheve, a Kansas Wildlife and Parks ranger for the area, said such behavior is unusual, but not out of the ordinary. He said the fox probably used the papers to insulate its den.Scheve said red foxes have prospered in urban areas and find easy pickings in discarded food, trash and rodents."There are probably more foxes in urban areas than in rural areas now," he said. "They've become very adapted to the city."

kfc holocaust is continue

ima see kfc is get caught again. double hat tip this one. zenster for story and .com for pichures. both of rantburg:


CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A chicken concentration camp poultry processing plant fired 11 gestapo workers on Wednesday, a day after an animal rights group released a secretly shot video of jack booted workers kicking, stomping and smashing chickens against walls at the West Virginia facility. Pilgrim's Pride, a supplier for KFC chicken restaurants, said three of those fired at its plant in Moorefield were managers and eight were hourly workers.

pp is apropriate initials for them. and we are have managers involve to!

''We will continue with this investigation until we're confident that every employee -- regardless of rank -- who had knowledge of these incidents has been held accountable for their actions,'' president and chief asshat operating officer O.B. Goolsby said Wednesday.

ha! yeah and we are shuld have let ss investigate nazi war crimes! jackass!

Pilgrim's Pride, based in Pittsburg, Texas, said it has put quality assurance monitors on both shifts at the plant, and managers at its 24 other North American torture centers plants were told to educate workers about geting caught animal welfare policies.

ima believe it when im see it!

The grainy videotape, which was released over the Internet, was secretly recorded between tasty vegan meals October and May by an investigator with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.The group said its investigator also obtained eyewitness testimony about employees ''ripping birds' beaks off, spray-painting their faces, twisting their heads off, spitting tobacco into their mouths and eyes, and breaking them in half -- all while the birds are still alive.''

if chickens were have testicles you know they be involve to

KFC President Gregg deaddick Dedrick said the fast-food company will stop buying from the Moorefield plant until Pilgrim's Pride can ensure no future abuse will occur. kgb KFC also will place a full-time inspector in the camp plant to watch thefor further abuse.

Councilwoman Rita Brown told the Plain Dealer that animal warden Michael Jackson should be fired.

he is need be more than fired! he is need to be prosecute! michael jackson obviously a pussy hater!

"That's no way to euthanize an animal, to freeze him to death," she said.

Safety Director Mike Gallagher has resigned over the matter.

ima like to know him role in all this

City Council members have ordered a special meeting for Friday to discuss the case.

horse hero

this is one deacon shuld like:

Authorities warned Alpine-area residents Tuesday to beware of a mountain lion that threatened a teenage girl and her horse on a trail in the East County highland community.


Missy Boney, 17, was riding her horse, named Kalmar, Monday evening when a mountain lion confronted them on a trail in Rancho Pala Verde Estates, 10News reported. "I'd have to rate it up there with the scariest thing in my life," Boney said. "It started lunging at us and (Kalmar) put his ears back, lunged back, pinned it to the ground with his front hoof and hit it with the other one."

ima bet it was scary moment for cougar to get punch by a horse.


Boney was not hurt and Kalmar got a few minor scratches.

same is not can be said for cougar.

Other residents said that they have seen a mountain lion in the area several times lately and that one attacked a pony two weeks ago.

here we are go again

Wardens with the state Department of Fish and Game are investigating and may declare the animal's presence a public threat


"That's what's concerning us right now is the amount of sightings. We were just out here (Monday) on another sighting," said Eric Fleet from the Department of Fish and Game.

as usual if they are see it they have to kill it right?

Some neighbors in the exclusive Alpine horse community of Palos Verde Ranch said the animal looked like a large male cougar weighing close to 200 pounds.

watch. ima bet it not weih more than 125.

Fish and Game officials said people have a right to protect their families and their property from wildlife, and if the cat threatens them, they can kill it.

we are watch and see how this is develop. ima just glad horse is brave and is deserve special treat. but i am have bad feeling it not gonna go good for em cougar.more news coming up.

pig gestapo on attack

this is piss me off:


DAKOTA CITY — A miniature potbellied pig named Sid that has been living in Dakota City since April was told to leave town. Kim and Frank Dahlsten got the word from the city May 13 that their son Zack’s 16-month-old pet has to go. In a letter, Mayor David Lee wrote that pigs of any kind are not allowed within the city’s limits.

"you kind not welcome here! you are have 48 to git or face the consequence!" what em jackass he is.

‘‘It is unlawful for a person to keep livestock within the city except by written consent of the council or except in compliance with the city’s zoning regulations,’’ wrote the mayor.

so give em written consent and stop you bitching!

Kim Dahlsten is upset that the city considers Sid livestock.
‘‘I feel that they are being very unfair. This little piggy wants to stay home,’’ she said.

kim ima thinking that mayor consider sid breakfast.

According to the letter, Sid had until May 29 to get out of town. The Dahlstens went to the June 9 City Council meeting to try to explain why Sid needs to stay. They were asked about getting a dog as a pet for Zack.

‘‘My son is scared of dogs. Six years ago in Iowa Falls, we were walking to the school bus in the morning and a dog charged us,’’ said Dahlsten.

Dahlsten said her 11-year-old son is a special-needs child.

‘‘He has attention deficit disorder, autism, mental retardation and numerous other things that are called pervasive disorders,’’ she said.

She said Zack was diagnosed when he was 2 years old. Zack is also blind in one eye, was born two months premature and was born with bleeding in the brain.

‘‘He has a shunt for that. He was shunted when he was 8 months old. In November, he had another surgery for a new shunt,’’ said Dahlsten.

What also bothers her is that Zack’s lifetime is limited.

‘‘Zack’s neurosurgeon told me that he has a life expectancy of 29 because of the bleeding in the brain,’’ she said.

Dahlsten said Sid is a companion pet for Zack and taking Sid away could be disruptive to Zack’s daily routine.

‘‘You just don’t take something away from somebody that has pervasive disorders. It disrupts their life. They get into a routine — even if Zack misses the school bus it upsets him,’’ she said.

Sid is fully grown, stands about 18 inches tall, is about 2 1/2 feet long, and weighs 94 pounds. Sid is also registered with a potbellied pig registry service in Pleasant Grove, Calif. The Dahlstens plan to fight city hall if a court order is filed or if an eviction notice is served.

Last week, city attorney Bob Lee did not say what the city’s next step would be.

‘‘It is inappropriate at this point to comment,’’ he said.

Mayor Lee could not be reached for comment.

mayor lee cannot be reach for a heart either. this story is just piss me off. i am hope they vote you out of office mayor and you city council to! ima thought i am have problems but zack purdy bad shape. let him keep him pet dam you! im to pissed further coment.

*update* cb deacon and dragon fly let me know if you are get the e-mail invite. frederoil is got his and is on now. you shuld have yours now to.

a touch to much

heres what happen when you are party at the circus:

MONTPELLIER, France (AFP) - A Dutch tourist who drunkenly tried to pet a circus lion in its cage in southern France was nursing a wounded hand and neck Tuesday after being scratched in return, police said.

look more like the lion doing the petting.

The unnamed 21-year-old woman was lucky to be only slightly injured in the incident, which occurred late Sunday after she and her friends went up to the cage following an evening of drinking in a campsite in the town of Vacquieres, near Montpellier, where the circus had put on its show, officers said.

that sentence to goddam long! ima count four commas in it. she is shuld be named! come on we are all want to know. ima not know circus are go to campsites now.


She had stuck her hand in the enclosure in an attempt to touch the three-year old lion when the animal sprung around and slashed at her with its claws. The tourist was taken to hospital in Montpellier.

hey lady! i am have snake you can pet!

Police said the circus had not violated any safety regulations and the lion's cage had been properly secure.

let me inspect it! i am find violations! circuses usualy full of violations! cept circus soliel but who is wanna watch that stuff. actualy ima shuldnt say that they are have some incredible acrobat women. ima look for more stuff...

nude models get prosecute

this is keep in spirit our nude protestors:

SHANGHAI (AFP) - Police in China's most modern city Shanghai have arrested a group of women and a man accused of organising a nude modelling competition, state press reported.

the man not model he just organize. how come all the good jobs are always take.

A manager of a small photography company surnamed Zhou and several models taking part in the show were taken into custody for operating without licenses and violating the country's moral standards.

you are need license get nekid or just take pichure nekid?

Police were alerted after models attracted more than their usual share of attention when the organiser failed to provide adequate changing facilities, forcing participants to walk across public grounds naked, the Wen Hui Bao said.

ima thinking that where they blew it.

None of the photographers at the show were professional, with most taking pictures with mobile phone cameras, the report said.

and if you are want to see pichure from this event go here. animal news coming up.

brain eating is not turn her on!

here is this gem i am see other day:

TAIPEI, Taiwan - A monkey was recuperating at a wildlife park in Taiwan after being rescued from a restaurant that planned to sell slices of the animal's brain while he was alive in a cage, a local government official said Friday.

that just down right wrong! ima wonder how much brain they are remove before he not alive in a cage anymore. this in just sick.

A tourist in the central mountainous area of Nantou bought the monkey, Formosan macaque, after he saw that customers at a restaurant were about to eat its brains, said Huang Kuo-chen, a forestry official in Taoyuan county, where the tourist lives.

seeing you chef slice up a monkeys head is just realy make one hungry.

The man phoned Huang's department to ask whether the monkey could be legally raised at home, the forestry official said.
"Raising monkeys at home is banned because they are protected animals," Huang said.

but keeping them in cages at resterants for debraining ok? i hope there a department of health nearby.

The man, who didn't give his name, handed over the animal to the authorities after rescuing it in May, Huang said. An inspection of the monkey showed exposed bone and small holes in its skull, he said.

and the holes not him ears. ima wonder if they are removing him brain liquid?

In a front-page story, the Apple Daily showed photos of the monkey with a patch of hair shaved on its head where the restaurant reportedly planned to cut open his skull and slice off pieces of brain. Many Taiwanese enjoy eating exotic animals because they believe the creatures provide special health benefits.

mainly they are believe it gives them a boner.

CTI cable news quoted doctors who warned that animal brains could contain dangerous viruses and were not fit for consumption.

mad cow disease also involve eating brains.

The monkey is now being held at a wildlife park before experts evaluate whether it can be released in the wild, Huang said.

this is just sick. i am hope they are not damage that monkey to badly. i am know its difrent culture but goddamit some things are plain wrong! what sickest tho is that they are keep the monkey alive while doing it. ima tired all this killing animals for so call sexual prowess. give em a goddam bottle of viagra and leave the animals alone!

he is hate her with a gator

it appear gator is danjrus in more than one way:

PORT ORANGE, Fla. - A man hit his girlfriend with a 3-foot alligator and threw beer bottles at her during an argument in the couple's mobile home, authorities said.  David Havenner, 41, was scheduled for a bond hearing Saturday on misdemeanor charges of battery and possession of an alligator.  The alligator, which Havenner had been keeping in his bathtub, was turned over to Florida wildlife officials.
 
she is shuld be glad he not have a horse.

Nancy Monico, 39, told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the alligator and swung it at her as she tried to escape, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. She said the animal hit her at least once. She also told authorities that Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her, Davidson said.  Havenner's version of the story differed. He told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol.
 
gator hit her? ima thinking this another example media bias against animals. ima not understanding these peples. if they are run outta beer just make a trip to the store! ima having think for peples all the time is tire me out.

update2:croc hunter not charged

we are also get update on croc hunter today. hat tip is go to tipper of rantburg:

THE Federal Government will take no action against Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin over his recent wildlife foray in Antarctica.The Government was investigating whether Mr Irwin got too close to whales, seals and penguins while filming a documentary in Antarctica earlier this year.Prime Minister John Howard said today that no action would be taken against Mr Irwin, nor would a warning be issued to the Queensland-based self-proclaimed Wildlife Warrior.

this in good news for croc hunter. he is not need to be prosecute.

"I have been told that after a proper examination a decision has been taken that no action of any kind is necessary," Mr Howard said Sky television.

"Obviously the detail of that decision will be announced and explained by the (Environment Department) but that is the advice I received this morning."

Mr Howard rejected any suggestion the Government had gone soft on Mr Irwin due to his celebrity status.

"That is an absurd thing to say," he said.

"That is unfair to the Environment Department and it's unfair to Mr Irwin.

"The matter was examined properly and that was the conclusion."

AAP

we are now can close this case. ima have a message tho. hey steve! watch youself! peples are looking for any reason prosecute you so be careful what you are do! kep away from them whales! speaking whales bibimimi of janeane garafolo blog is send me this link. it is pichures of migaloo the albino white whale. thanks bibimimi! ima hope there no ahabs out there.

update 1: more to tiger story

this busy animal news day. we are have to updates to previous stories. first one in here:

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A woman who offered to use her 5-month-old pig as bait to lure a tiger that escaped from the home of an actor who once played Tarzan will be cited for animal cruelty, officials said. Linda Meredith, of Loxahatchee, put the pig in the trunk of her car and drove to the neighborhood where officials were searching for the tiger shortly after she heard of its escape.

prosecute her! lockher ina trunk when she is transport to jail!

Meredith asked officers to grab the hind legs of the pig, named Baby, or twist its ears so it would squeal and attract the tiger. The officers declined her offer.

ima hope someone is grab her hind legs and make her squeal in jail!

Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control Director Dianne Sauve said Meredith will be cited for transporting the pig in her trunk. "I was appalled," Sauve said. "Carrying an animal in a trunk in 90-degree heat, where it's probably 140 degrees inside, is not acceptable."

Suave said she planned to meet with county sheriff's officials Thursday to determine specific charges. Meredith said the trunk of her Cadillac is air conditioned, and she was planning to eat the pig when it is full grown.

"I can't believe they have the gall," she said. "I was just trying to help the tiger find his way back home."

ima cant believe she is have gall to complainer. hey woman! nobosy is ask you help!

Following a 26-hour search, the tiger, which belonged to actor Steve Sipek, was shot and killed Tuesday after lunging at a wildlife officer.

this woman is need to be lock up in trunk. another update coming up.

RSPCA fears 'clean-up' cull

By Achilleas Topas


EXPERTS fear up to 15,000 stray dogs will be poisoned before next month's Athens Olympics so the city looks "pristine". Authorities in the Greek capital fear the sight of packs roaming the streets will damage the country's bid to show it is modern and civilised, the RSPCA said yesterday.

piles of dog corpse is help make it look civilize.

Greek animal welfare groups say slaughter of the city's estimated 15,000 strays has started. Eighty dogs have been found dead in Saronida, a coastal resort where members of the British team are expected to stay.

ima bet the british are just enjoy that "pristine" sight.

One animal welfare activist said: "There's been a big increase in poisonings and we expect it to rise sharply." David Bowles of RSPCA International has been helping to train Greek officials to catch and treat strays humanely.

He said: "We're seriously concerned thousands of dogs will be poisoned so Greece can show Athens is a pristine, modern city. It would be barbaric and would solve nothing."
He added: "A lot of the local authorities don't know how to treat dogs humanely."

they arent never be kind a damn thing in they lives!

Another senior RSPCA official added: "If the Greeks continue to poison dogs they can't consider themselves civilised."

amen! time to join the civilize world greece! stop living like barbaric!

The authorities insist there will be no mass poisoning but Athens' few dog shelters are already crowded. Greece has little tradition of caring for strays. Poisoning animals is a crime there but it is the usual method of keeping numbers down and is used unofficially by some local councils. A spokesman for the Greek Embassy in London said animal welfare was taken seriously in Greece. "Measures have been taken to improve standards."

yeah! we are see how well they are work in that sarodinia place. you improving you killing standards all right!

-A MONGREL owned by an Aborginal family in Australia could become the world's oldest dog. A vet said Jerry, 26 - a cattle dog-bull terrier cross - is fit enough to reach 28. The oldest living dog is Butch, 27, a beagle in America.

what that is have to do with greek dogs im not knowing but happy b-day jerry! ima hope butch is have another year in him to.
if the greeks are go through with this i am boycott the olympics! and anything else that in greece to. ima thought they were supose be super civilize but they not. greece you are can keep you olympics! hey greece! why arent you take you pita bread and you know where to shove it!

catch that tiger!

this here in tragic. hat tip is go to troll p of janeane garafolo blog:

LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. (AP) — The owner of an escaped tiger fatally shot by wildlife officers said Wednesday that he believes someone opened several gates, enabling the big cat to get out.

Steve Sipek, an actor who once played Tarzan, said the gates would have had to be opened before the 6-year-old tiger, named Bobo, could have reached the 12-foot wall surrounding his property. He did not say who might have done it.

ima thinking him tarzan role is go to him head.

"He was let out by somebody who is interested in causing problems," Sipek told CBS' The Early Show. Sipek has another tiger, a panther, a cougar and lions on his five-acre compound, which is marked by a sign that reads, "Trespassers will be eaten." They did not escape.

or he is forget to close door.

Willie Puz, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said Wednesday that Sipek's claim was being investigated. He said Sipek has licenses for the big cats, but said he could not comment on whether they could now be revoked because that is part of the investigation.

Bobo was shot and killed Tuesday when officials say it lunged at a wildlife officer who was trying to capture it.

where the goddam tranq gun!?! why are they never use a tranq gun!?!

But Sipek, who developed a soft spot for jungle beasts after playing Tarzan in B-movies decades ago, said he doubted the tiger had to be killed. He said he would have been able to coax the tiger to safety if officers had called him to the scene before shooting it.

and where were he when they doing that? he is shuld of be with them looking for bobo!

"Murder is the word," Sipek said. "They murdered a poor helpless animal that only looked ferocious, as any tiger would, but Bobo had a heart of gold."

yeah! dont let the claws and snarling teeth is fool you! actualy claws and teeth no match for lead slug.

A dozen wildlife trackers and sheriff's deputies had searched more than 24 hours for the animal, which escaped Monday. They had kept watch Tuesday in a five-acre area of dense slash pines and palm trees, hoping to catch it.

Officers approached the tiger intending to shoot it with tranquilizers. But the tiger jumped at one officer, who fired a shotgun in self-defense, said Jorge Pino, a wildlife commission spokesman.

oooooh! so there were tranq guns! but of course the shotgun were closer to grab.

"Needless to say, the owner is very distraught. We're distraught," Pino said. "Our concern was to recover this tiger alive and well."

im distraught. evryone distraught! the only one not distraught is em bobo cuz hes dead!

Sipek says he developed his affection for big cats after one pulled him from a fire on a set more than 30 years ago, saving his life, and he promised then he would always take care of such animals if he recovered.

and who is he promise? the cats? ima thinking big cats are prefer to be free! not lock in him cages!

He told ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday that wildlife officials had told him they wouldn't try to capture Bobo until later Tuesday evening, so he went to take a shower. He said he was coming back to rejoin the search when he heard five shots and "my heart sank," knowing he hadn't protected Bobo.

tiger runing loose? ok we are catch it later. we are have some trafic tickets to hand out.

"I kept my word, except I failed yesterday, trusting people," he said. He said wildlife officials were laughing after the shooting.
"It was a glorified thing for them," he said.

they are beter not be a goddam laff!

Puz denied the officers were laughing, saying Sipek was too far away to see the officers' demeanor, which he described as "somber."

Some nearby residents, who moved to the rural area so they could have room for their own pets, had little sympathy for Sipek, saying his big cats are dangerous.

"What I want to know is when he was in captivity, how long did he go without a feeding?" said Kim Smith, who has horses and dogs that she normally keeps outside.
"Tigers are predatorial. All of us moved out here because we're city people wanting a taste of the country. But this is a little funky."

tigers are like dogs and horses to. they are even like peples when hungry enuff.

Wildlife officials had said they did not believe the declawed pet would attack. He was never taught to hunt, and had never killed anything or lived in the wild. However, he did bite a woman working inside his cage two years ago, severely injuring her.

ima thinking de-toothin outta the question.

An expert on tiger behavior disagreed that Bobo had posed no danger.
"Tigers are wild animals and they retain hard-wired instincts and to say just because a tiger doesn't have his claws — so what? He still has his teeth and they're powerful," said Ron Tilson, conservation director at the Minnesota Zoo.

ask em segfried and roy.

Sipek's compound sits about 10 miles from West Palm Beach, just off a main east-west thoroughfare.

"He never should have had these animals in the first place," said Andrea Newell, who grew up two doors away and was visiting family on Tuesday.

In 1985, a tame, three-legged black leopard belonging to Sipek eluded searchers for nearly three days before being found wandering near a fence on his property.

so this arent first time he is let cat out. ima blame this jack ass for the death of bobo. big cats are not make good pets! it is seem like tragic is always happen these kinds of things! please leave exotic animals in they homes and natural habitats! ima hope jack ass is happy he is kill a tiger after a big cat is save him. there other ways to help big cats without puting them in capture. he is very lucky no peples or other animals are get hurt.

kitty soldier comes to america

here in news article about em war cat. hat tip is go to anonymus person at rantburg:

Pfc. Hammer Finds a Home
By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2004 – A tiger-striped Iraqi kitten that wiggled its way into the hearts of a U.S. Army unit has made its way to the United States, thanks to a host of volunteers and two animal welfare groups.

Pfc. Hammer, an Iraq-born cat that befriended soldiers of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, during their deployment in Iraq, arrives in San Francisco, Calif., enroute to his new home in Colorado. Courtesy photo

make shure you are check out photo pfc.hammer.

Soldiers with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, dubbed the tiny ball of fur that wandered into their tent early last fall "Pfc. Hammer."

"He was born at the site," said Staff Sgt. Rick Bousfield. "There were two other kittens in the litter, but they ran away. He stayed and kept mice out of our living quarters and out of our dining facility."

ima wondering what is happen the mother and other two kitties. hope they okay.

Adopted by the troops, the young cat provided warmth and companionship in an otherwise hostile environment. When the unit was attacked by mortar fire, Hammer ran to the bunkers, where the nearest soldier scooped him inside his body armor to wait out the attack.

i am see animal freak out with em fireworks. i am imagine much worse with mortar shell. ima comfort him to but ima would be hesitant put flipped out cat inside my body armor.

"He was like our stress therapist over there," Bousfield recalled. "You'd come in off raids where we'd been kicking in doors and guys would be sitting outside by themselves. He'd come over and take their minds off the war."

nothing is take you mind off things beter than a pussy.

When Bousfield learned the unit was leaving Iraq to return to Fort Carson, Colo., he sent an e-mail asking for help to Alley Cat Allies, a national nonprofit clearinghouse for information on feral and stray cats, in Washington, D.C. The sergeant said he wanted to ensure his whole unit came home together, and that included Pfc. Hammer.

ummm. ima think technicly pfc hammer home is iraq. he never live america before. it in nice get him out tho.

Hammer "has been quite a morale booster for us, because we consider him one of our troops," Bousfield wrote. "If there was a way that ACA could help get Hammer back to the States, it would be a wonderful boost for the men to see the cat who has won their hearts free – like the Iraqi people."

that guy is leave me confuser. kitty is must leave iraq so can can be free like em iraqis?!?

Bousfield's plea "brought the war home for us," said ACA national director Becky Robinson. "This was a soldier in Iraq writing us. How could we say no to a soldier in Iraq fighting for freedom?"

you dont

"His e-mail was so moving we felt like we couldn't say no," she said. "We had never done anything like this, but the moment we finished reading it, it was a given that we were going to figure out how to do this."

Hundreds of people sent e-mails and made donations to help get the cat to the States after ACA posted Hammer's plight on on the organization's web site, said Lynne Cummings, ACA director of gift planning.

"Alley Cat Allies doesn't usually get asked to do things in wartime," she said. "It was a really nice thing for us to be able to do to show our support to Rick and his unit. We didn't really care if we raised any money to help defray the costs."

cat not use much in war time. dog and dolfin are use tho.

ACA joined forces with Military Mascots, a grassroots all-volunteer effort dedicated to helping U.S. deployed service members who have befriended a canine mascot on foreign soil. Supporters' donations, combined with money from ACA's Compassion Fund, paid for Hammer's medical and travel expenses, Cummings said.

it in good to know there organizations like this. :)

Working with a veterinary hospital in Kuwait, they arranged an international flight for Hammer. Prior to leaving the region, the cat was neutered and given a clean bill of health.

they are free him nuts to? ima wonder how many other pfc are have that?

Bousfield returned from Iraq in early April. It took a week or so longer for Pfc. Hammer.

An ACA volunteer met up with Hammer when he arrived in San Francisco and accompanied the cat on a domestic flight to his new home outside of Denver. Bousfield and his daughter Tiffany, 15, along with another company member, Sgt. Robert Scott, were waiting for Hammer when he arrived at Denver International Airport.

The ACA volunteer who accompanied the cat said he started purring and kneading her arm as soon as he heard Bousfield's voice. The wartime bond formed thousands of miles away had not been forgotten.

im shure pfc hammer is also apreciate no mortar fire there.

Back at Fort Carson, Bousfield reunited Hammer with his former cohorts. "We all met at the same time to sign out on block leave so I took him in on his leash," Bousfield said. "They were happy to see him."

Hammer now lives with Bousfield's family – and five other cats. Bousfield said they all get along now that they've gotten "the pecking order straight."

"We kept him in a room by himself for a week," he said. "Little by little we let him out. He roams around all he wants to now. He runs around. He's fast. The vet says he's an Egyptian Mau."

mail retriever

i am see this nice story today. hat tip is go to tonid of janeane garafolo blog:

CARPIO, N.D. - Toby arrives at the post office here at 9:30 every morning, ready to deliver the mail, even though he's barred from coming inside. The 12-year-old golden retriever has been delivering mail to his owner, Brad Sullivan, for the past two years. He makes the three-block trek to the post office with Gordon Lewis, Sullivan's neighbor.
Toby waits patiently outside until Lewis puts the Sullivans' mail in a green pouch around his neck for the short trip home.

"He's just crazy to come and get the mail," Lewis said. "He usually waits outside, then takes off when I put the pouch back on him."

Sullivan said his mother, Connie, was hospitalized a couple of years ago and Sullivan was laid up from a vehicle accident, so he started sending Toby with Lewis to get the mail.

"We put that pouch on him and he's a different dog," Sullivan said. "It's like it's something important for him to do.

Connie Sullivan said she gives Toby a treat when he gets back. And Carpio Postmaster Kevin Nissen said Toby carries on the Postal Service tradition of getting the mail out on time.

"It's like clockwork at 9:30," Nissen said. "It saves Brad or his mom from coming uptown."

this is nice story show how dog realy are mans best friend. ima beting it is make toby feel like he is realy contribute to him family and he is. :) more news coming up.

spider is beat snakes ass

here a neat litle story:

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese house spider sitting on its web waiting for lunch got the biggest helping of its life -- it caught a snake.

The 12-inch snake crawled into a farmer's house in Qingyuan county in eastern Zhejiang province, apparently oblivious of the spider patiently spinning its web in the corner, Xinhua news agency said on Saturday.

"Unfortunately, it got desperately trapped in the tough, sticky web of the spider," the agency said.

"The spider pulled the web higher and suspended the snake above the ground. It then managed to get to the neck of the snake, using its beak to pierce the snake and inject its poison."

goddamit! spiders are not birds! they arent have beaks they are have fangs. dumbass.

The David and Goliath battle took 80 minutes, drawing farmers from all around to watch, Xinhua said.
"The snake died soon and the hunter spider began to suck its blood."

spiders are not suck blood. they venom is turn the insides into a soup and they are drink it. ima wish these goddam journalist are get they stories right! more news coming up.

zoo tragedy and blog o the week

more trouble at a zoo:

Giraffe, ostrich apparently drowned in sinkhole

By The Associated Press
MONROE (AP) -- A giraffe and an ostrich apparently drowned in a 15-foot sinkhole in what a zoo veterinarian called a "freak accident."

The sinkhole, 9 feet in diameter, was created by a burst water main at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo, and the animals drowned sometime Friday night or Saturday morning. They were buried Saturday in the zoo's African veldt, where they were both held. Visitors couldn't see the animals in the sinkhole and were blocked from seeing their bodies removed and buried Saturday.

why anyone is want to see that is beyond me.

The Rothschild giraffe, on loan from the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., was one of two males on exhibit at the northeast Louisiana zoo for the past 19 months. The ostrich was one of four females exhibited at the Monroe zoo for the past four years.

rothschild giraffe? them illuminati evrywhere.

"I just hate it, but it was a freak accident," zoo veterinarian Tyler Thomas said.
Thomas said he believed the 17-foot, 3,000-pound giraffe was probably getting a drink, then tumbled headfirst into the sinkhole when it collapsed under his weight. The ostrich was likely standing beside the giraffe, he said.

"Nothing but the ankles of the giraffe were visible when I went out there," Thomas said. "I'm sure he smelled that fresh, cool water bubbling up and couldn't resist it. We're just fortunate none of the other animals got curious."

thank god they arent get curious!

The giraffes shared the veldt with the ostriches and two zebras, all of which remained on exhibit after the sinkhole was fenced off. The zoo's boat ride, which borders the veldt, was suspended Saturday. Zoo spokesman Gary Miers said the giraffe and ostrich turned up missing after all animals were counted Saturday morning. The two animals had been present for the Friday evening count.

im goues they arent see the 15 foot sink hole with hoofs sticking out of it till later.

Miers said officials at the Seneca Park Zoo have been notified. He said that the giraffe is insured by the city under the loan agreement with Seneca Park, but he didn't know the insured value of the giraffe.

you are cant put a price on life dumb ass.

The two giraffes, both about 6 years old, had been raised together at Seneca Park.
"The other giraffe will definitely go through a grieving process," Thomas said. "We'll just have to do our best to relieve as much stress on him as possible."

poor giraffe. i am hope they are help the other one him time of grieving. this in so sad for the giraffe. ima even feel a litle bad for ostrich even tho i am not liking ostriches. anything that big with head that small is just not right. but they are animal to and so that sad for him to. and now on to blog o the week!

A man who was raised by chickens is learning to live as a human for the first time in 32 years. Sunjit Kumar spent his life locked in a chicken coop in Fiji. After his parents died, Kumar’s grandfather gained custody of him. But, his grandfather apparently didn’t know what to do with the young boy, so he decided to lock him inside of a chicken coop.

jack ass is aparently know what to do with a woman and chicken but not him grandson. >:(

There, Kumar picked up all the behavior and mannerisms of the other chickens in the coop.
Years later, Kumar was discovered living in the coop and freed. Still, doctors didn’t know how to treat him, so the local rotary club is working to rehabilitate him.

turning chickens to humans they specialty. ima glad they arent turn him over to kfc.

Club president Elizabeth Clayton said, "He had imitated or imprinted with the chicken."

him future wife going be mighty disappointed if he been watching roosters.

"He was perching, he was picking at his food, he was hopping around like a chicken. He'd keep his hands in a chicken-like fashion and he'd make a noise which was like the calling of a chicken, which he still has," she said.

im not thinking he forget it that quick. ima wonder if he is walk and go to bathroom at same time like chicken. ima hope they feed him more than dry chicken feed.

Kumar is reportedly making remarkable progress having learned how to walk and eat from a plate.

Family Grieves After Son Killed While Dad Helps Stray Dog

POSTED: 11:35 am EDT July 9, 2004
UPDATED: 12:28 pm EDT July 9, 2004

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A California man is now wondering why he risked the lives of his family members in order to help a stray dog.

Jefferson Silveira pulled his minivan off the freeway Sunday night, to try to shoo a stray dog away from traffic near San Jose.

While Jefferson Silveira tried to save the dog from wandering into traffic, his wife, Catherine, her 12-year-old son and the couple's three younger children waited in the family minivan. He then watched in horror as the minivan was slammed from behind by a passing pickup going at least 60 mph. The driver reportedly told police he didn't notice the van until it was too late. Charges have not been filed and there was no alcohol in the driver's system.

The 12-year-old was killed. Two of the younger children remain hospitalized in critical condition.

Silveira is unemployed, has no health insurance and no way to pay for the boy's funeral Saturday. Silveria's painting business went under this year. His wife Catherine's temporary job ended Wednesday.

He told the San Jose Mercury News, "I feel so stupid because I stopped to help that dog."

Donations are reportedly flooding in for the family.

The San Jose Mercury News reported that people have been donating money to a special family fund, offering job leads and paying the crematory expenses.

As for the stray dog -- a man who stopped at the accident scene said he'd return the dog to its owner.

Donations for the family are being accepted at Wells Fargo Bank. Here is that info:

i know we are all love animals but please do not risk you own life to save one. it in hard to lose a pet but not nearly as painful lose a family member or loved one. this in just plain sad.

pig and dog dna are just not mix!

oh there trouble in paradise:

NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan mayor has ordered more than 500 pigs to be shot dead because they were mating with stray dogs, the East African Standard has reported.

the pigs get shot but the dogs are go free? i gues they are honor kill cuz pigs just sluts like that. see ham wants rump story from last week.

A squad of town council guards moved from estate to estate shooting pigs roaming free in Nyahururu town, 95 miles north of the capital Nairobi.

Town mayor Muritu Karumba said he ordered Thursday's cull to avoid an outbreak of disease caused by the pigs and dogs mating, which he said broke the laws of nature and "caused unnecessary commotion".

ima gues bringing tijauna donkey show there outta the question. hey murita! maybe disease not a problem if you are give them condoms and cucumbers! it also not a problem if you arent touch them.

But the unfortunate pigs' owners immediately cried foul, claiming collusion between Nyahururu's authorities and the town's bacon traders to cut competition in pork supplies.

and there you are go. wonder if that was cover in last bilderberger meeting. ima thinking this world geting closer to the end.

you want licky licky. 17 cents!

Mystical cow 'licks' away disease
From correspondents in Phum Trapeang Chum
July 8, 2004

THOUSANDS of ill Cambodians are flocking to this northern village to be licked by a mystical cow named Preah who is curing their complaints, its owner has claimed.

he is call him method the slurpies.

Farmer Puch Pich said up to 400 people have been turning up daily for the past fortnight to be slobbered over, after the 13-month-old white beast apparently cured his wife Kong Mich of a chronic illness.

ima wonder if kong is have cows do what puch is refuser. this is sound like very strange coincidence it is discover or puch and kong are have some purdy dark secrets.

They have been braving Cambodia's notoriously bad rainy season roads to travel from around the kingdom, paying 500 riel (17 cents) per person for four licks on the limb or body part of their choice.

ima hope no one is have herpes or hemmoroids. im meaning herpes are maybe can spread.

"The cow won't lick people who don't put in their money... and if he doesn't think you believe in his powers, he won't lick you either," Puch Pich quipped.

a natural televangelist! it didnt werk cuz you arent believe! briliant! cows purdy good capitalist.

Ros Sath, 68, told AFP that before he underwent the unconventional treatment he could barely walk a few metres thanks to a stiff leg.

and how bout after? it isnt say. im can barely walk to after em stiff drinks. today i am post late cuz big boss at my work. goddamit i am hate it when he go there! why isnt he mind his own goddam business!

oh wait...he is.

gorilla memorial in the works

and now for animal news for the day:

JOHANNESBURG (AFP) - Max the gorilla, who became a national hero in South Africa for beating up a runaway thief at Johannesburg zoo, will be immortalised in a memorial garden.

The zoo has decided to build the site across the pathway from the gorilla enclosure where Max lived from when he was brought to Johannesburg from Frankfurt Zoo in 1972, until he died in his sleep early in May from complications relating to old age, Johannesburg-based newspaper The Citizen said Tuesday.

rest in peace max. we are glad you are have a long life.

The 33-year-old primate became a symbol of South Africa's fight against rampant crime in 1997 when he beat up fleeing thief Isaac Mofokeng who had jumped into his enclosure.

doh! well when you are have last name like that what are you expect. ima trying figure out what there to steal at a zoo.

Since catching the thief, Max has grabbed headlines in South Africa and became a major draw at the zoo, as well as a national hero.
"After Max died the zoo was inundated with messages from the public who felt the loss and wanted to be involved in saying goodbye to him," said Sybilla Nagel, an artist involved in building the garden.
"We realised the public needed it," she added.

first gorilla memorial. sweet!

Johannesburgers were invited to buy tickets that would entitle them to put their handprints in cement steps leading up to a throne with an imprint of Max's hand.

wow! he is even get a throne! that quite a reward for beating some ass. itn just to bad max is never get to see it. ima just hope they at least get him some gorilla porn for that. ima just wonder what mofokeng doing now.

stripping for the rain

in light of yesterdays news i am thought i shuld share this. maybe we are have a trend:

KATHMANDU (AFP) - With drought crippling parts of western Nepal, women in the world's only Hindu kingdom are reverting to the ancient tradition of ploughing fields naked in a bid to appease the rain god.

Dozens of women in Baijapur village of Banke district in southwestern Nepal last week ploughed their fields by night stark naked to appease Lord Indra, the rain god, said village council member Shukiram Tharu.

if that isnt appease indra what will.

While ploughing, the women chanted, "Barso Maharaj, Barso" (Oh rain god, send us a plenty of rain), he said Sunday.

and send me a plenty of pichures! why are these stories are never have pichures!

Ambika Tharu, a 35-year-old married woman, said she had performed the ritual at the insistence of her father in-law who had claimed the rain god would respond to calls for rain if the fields were ploughed by nude women.

her father in law is insist? at least he is keep it in the family.

"If no rain comes, it will spell disaster for us ... we will have to tighten out belt around the year," Tharu said.

beter to undo them now then titen them later.

The ploughing of fields by women is extremely rare as it is forbidden by local custom.

yeah but which custom is come first!?! some cultures are have all the fun. more news coming up.

running of the nudes is commence

here are peples making the most of protest:

MADRID, Spain - Several hundred animal rights activists — some in their underwear, others topless — marched through the streets of Pamplona Tuesday to condemn bullfighting on the eve of the Spanish city's wildly popular running of the bulls.

bulls are nekkid to. hopefully it in chilly there. that is make for better viewing.

About 200 supporters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals came from 15 countries to march along the same cobblestone route that bulls and daredevil humans cover every July in a series of mad dashes from a holding pen to the bullring.

sweet! ima love a multicultural nude fest.

The protesters had planned to run totally nude but could not because they didn't get the necessary town hall permit, the Efe news agency reported. Police could not confirm the report.

goddam nude permits! i am demand we are protest them!

Isabel Gonzalez, head of an anti-bullfighting organization in Belgium, said bullfighting is cruel.
"The animals suffer, and nobody has the right to mistreat them just to stage a fiesta," she said.
She said the running of the bulls also is inhumane because runners pull the bull's tails, kick them and "the animals run in a state of panic."

someone is shuld tell them pissing of bulls not a good idea.

This year's festival begins Tuesday with a ceremony called the chupinazo, in which a small rocket is fired from a balcony overlooking the main square to signal the start of nine days of street parties in honor of the city's patron saint, San Fermin.
The first of eight bull runs is scheduled for Wednesday.

now that the way to protest! even if you are not liking peta you are have to admire them protesting skills. here in a link to post i am make at rantburg back in march and you will in see what ima mean. altho it in to late participate this year you can keep on eye on this page if you are think about participate next year.
