Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 26, 2018 Aussie diddles a horse...no that's not news. However, the horse instigated it, and that is. According to the Grafton Daily Examiner, the guy told police that the horse had sniffed his crotch, then made direct eye contact with him and winked. And that’s why, he said, banging the horse was totally consensual. Unconvinced, police charged him with an act of animal cruelty for 1) sexually penetrating the animal and 2) forcing it to perform fellatio. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 28, 2019 Trevor the duck, whose tale of loneliness on the tiny Pacific island nation of Niuemade him a local celebrity and captured headlines last year, has died. He was found dead in the bush after being attacked by dogs, according to a social media page dedicated to the drake. The mallard is thought to have been blown on to the island during a storm about a year ago. He came to global prominence after an article by the New Zealand Herald that chronicled his life in a roadside puddle due to an absence of wetlands or ponds across Niue. He was named Trevor, after New Zealand’s parliamentary speaker, Trevor Mallard. “Deepest sympathy to the people of Niue from the parliament of New Zealand,” Mallard posted on social media on Monday.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 21, 2019 Animal trainer Ashley Watts was separating a 14-year-old lion named Matthai into a section of an enclosure at the Conservators Center in Burlington (NC) on Dec. 30. Watts said the gate securing that section was blocked by a large ball and the lion entered the area that Watts, 22-year-old intern Alex Black and a second intern were cleaning. Before she could close the gate, the lion bit Black's ankle, pulling her into the enclosure. Fire department personnel used a firehose to separate the lion and Black without success. The lion dragged Black around the enclosure by her neck "for an extended amount of time." After attempts to sedate the lion with darts failed, deputies shot the lion eight times, killing the animal. RIP Matthai SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,129 Posted February 23, 2019 A dog has been found safe after being missing for 101 days after the California wildfires. He survived by hunting skunks. Quote Kingston, who the family say was known to hunt skunks before the fire, smelled so strongly of the pungent odour that volunteers spent several hours washing him before reuniting him with the Ballejos family. "He still smelled even though they used stuff that neutralises the skunk smell." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-47315701 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 27, 2019 A woman was mauled to death by two of her dogs in her South Carolina front yard. Nancy Cherryl Burgess-Dismuke, 52, was reportedly playing with the animals in Greenville when the boxer mixes suddenly turned aggressive and attacked her, according to authorities. Neighbors ran to her rescue after hearing Burgess-Dismuke yelling but couldn't get the dogs off her. "I did everything I could," Denzel Whiteside, a neighbor, told WHNS. Whiteside grabbed an ax (cue @Boudicca) to fend the dogs off, and Burgess-Dismuke was able to run away and get over a fence in the yard, according to local reports. She had already been severely injured, however. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
