Two dead by bull attack in stable Hengelo

2 January 2012

 

HENGELO - Two people died Monday evening on a farm at the Beunksteeg in Hengelo in the province of Gelderland, after they were attacked by a bull, a police spokeswoman reported.

 

Presumably the victims are the owners of the farm, according to the spokeswoman. They died on the spot from their injuries.

 

Paramedics tried to reanimate the victims. They had been called by the wife of one of the men.

 

The bull will be put down, says the spokeswoman.

Newt Gingrich bitten by penguin in St.Louis.

 

Strange. One would expect things to go the other way around.

An anxious nation awaits word on the health of the brave penguin.

Lonesome George, the last surviving Galapagos tortoise, has died at circa 100. Why do I feel sadder about him than I do about many of the human celebs on here?

It's not the last Galapagos Tortoise, there's tons more left. He was the last Pinta Island Galapagos tortoise however.

And some of the other "surviving" toroises may be newsworthy too, since they're all - efffectively - a tourist attraction. Lonesome George was a sprightly 100, nowhere near the oldest age recorded for such a creature.

Lonesome George, the last of his kind.. dead at 100 :(http://www.bbc.co.uk.../world-18574279

 

Sad news indeed. I've known of his existence for over 30 years. And so young!

 

While his case isn't identical, he's in the same league as Martha, the last passenger pigeon, who died September 1, 1914, at the Cincinnati Zoo. Sic transit, and all that.

The winner of the 1994 Grand National has died at the age of 29. The horse was owned by Freddie Starr and was the oldest surviving winner of the race.

I think they should have used commas here. Either that, or she's a cannibal.
