The incident occurred after the hippopotamus was shot with a tranquiliser dart in an attempt to test a new chemical for sedating the animals.Yeah, it pretty much turned out as you might expect...
After the creature had been darted it had sat sedately in the shallow pool, and appeared to be passive as scientists began their work.
'A lesson we definitely learned from this incident is to muzzle these animals in future.'Do they make muzzles that big? If so, could we slap one on Yasmin Alibhi-Brown?
There is nothing big enough to muzzle that odious woman, pass the stones please
ReplyDeleteOn Yasmin; did you remove the post you did about the twitter/stoning affair, or have I overlooked it here or seen it elsewhere?
ReplyDelete@Anon - There are some posts about it on AnnaRaccoon.
ReplyDeleteOK,thanks.
ReplyDeleteThose compassionate amongst us would use the new anaesthetic and then the stones. She's the worst sort.
ReplyDeleteForget the muzzle and the tranquillisers and stones, just throw the bitch into the Hippo house.
ReplyDeleteIt is a little known fact that Hippos kill more people in Africa than Lions, elephants and rhinos put together.
"..did you remove the post you did about the twitter/stoning affair, or have I overlooked it here or seen it elsewhere?"
ReplyDeleteI did mention it in my 'Reset' post but haven't done a full post about it, as - as SadButMadLad points out - others have more than adequately covered it.
"She's the worst sort."
She'd be nothing more than an irritating buffoon, though, if only the authorities weren't disposed to take her so seriously...
"It is a little known fact that Hippos kill more people in Africa than Lions, elephants and rhinos put together."
Indeed. And people worry more about crocodiles. Because they eat you?
Dead is dead.
