new entertainment released
Yesterday was a big animal day.
I went to my local and found that they had a new attraction. They had tied what I call a sacred ibis by the foot to a tree as a tourist attractant. I was uncertain a to how they would react but I walked straight over and let it go. While doing this, I was laughing and kept asking who did this. They were so busy pointing at each other that the bird was free before they knew it. I then explained to a now large crowd that tourist will not come to places that do this (yes, sadly, it is a lie). Maybe I got away with it because I have a bit of economic clout there. Also, as it was a new addition I think they were less upset than they woukd have been. Arrived home to find our adopted dog playing catch on his own with a large turtle (terrapin actually). Poor bugger. He was moved to a dog and child free abandoned mansion close by. |

Good work Dr. P.!
 By the way, I am fairly sure that the Ibis comes under Section 51, 1-A of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and keeping them without permission carries at least fine, perhaps worse. I know nobody will implement this but telling people about it sometimes scares them a little  |
