Comrade AbecedariusRex , your ability to come up with truly disturbing photographs amazes me.

He has a knack for it. A very gross, scary, and hilarious knack.

Suicide cow bomber leaps to kill couple in minivan


MANSON, Wash. (AP) - Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object—a 600-pound cow.
The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.

The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage.

A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.

The Eversons, visiting the area from their home in Westland, Mich., to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.

Everson, 49, said he didn't see the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward.

He said he kept repeating: "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."


Next they'll jump from billboards........ Ala Chick Flambee

I'll never complain when it's raining cats and dogs again.


but wait theres more from the animal kingdom....

A New Jersey woman's Toyota Camry last week suffered a squirrel kamikaze attack during which a flaming squirrel fell onto the vehicle, slid into the engine compartment and provoked an explosion which destroyed the parked vehicle, the Jersey Journal reports.

Lindsey Millar, 23, and bruv Tony, 22, were at home in Bayonne last Wednesday lunchtime when the incident occurred. The animal had apparently decided it was a really good move to chew through overhead powerlines directly above the motor, and was duly fried for its trouble.

Tony Millar explained: "The squirrel chewed through the wire, was set on fire, fell down directly to where the car was. The squirrel, on fire, slid into the engine compartment and blew up the car."

He added: "They're always coming around here, chewing through the garbage."

Ms Millar is apparently fully insured for incendiary squirrel strike, although her brother concluded: "It's something to laugh about once she has a new car. It's not funny yet."

As a rather poignant footnote, the Jersey Journal notes that the Millars' house is fully decked out in anticipation of Halloween, "complete with a tiny plastic tombstone on their front lawn". Tony Millar said the family "will consider dedicating the tombstone to the squirrel".

Suicide bomber squirrels. Never would have thought of that.

Acorn Akhbar!!!!

KABOOM!!!

Suicide squirrels strike again

Thursday, August 31, 2006 After a brief period in which it appeared that the threat from the Squirrel Menace may have receded, chilling news comes from Fayette County, PA.

4,700 people were left without power for several hours in Uniontown, in central Fayette County, after a suicide squirrel took out an electricity company substation, reports the local newspaper the Herald Standard.

The squirrel jumped onto the substation off Route 119 just before noon on Tuesday. It caused an electrical arc that would have achieved temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees, and wreaked havoc in three of the substation's circuits.

The squirrel did not survive the incident.

In other squirrel news, Metro Online reader James Pegram of North Carolina tells us in a comment about witnessing the ferocity of squirrels first-hand. He writes: 'My sister and I were astonished to witness a common gray squirrel descend from a maple tree in my front yard, attack, kill and devour a fledgling robin. He carried the baby bird back up the tree and calmly ate it all (even the feet!).

'We had never heard of a squirrel predating live prey and no one else I know has. Is this a unique event?'

Far from it, James. Look into the eyes of any squirrel, and you will see the cold, dead eyes of a killer. And while so-called 'moderate squirrels' refuse to condemn such attacks, it becomes increasingly clear that we are in a state of permanent war against the squirrels – and no amount of liberal handwringing about the need to 'understand their culture', or to appease them with nuts, will change that fact.

Terrorist Squirrels in the News

We must do something to combat the undocumented squirrel invasion! We must declare a war on squirrels!! They're no longer furry fun but have become cold-blooded killers.....

I only have a few things to say about that.

1. Doesn't he have a pistol or something? Shouldn't every hunter take a pistol along just in case something like that happens?

2. Doesn't he have a knife or something? Shouldn't every hunter take a knife along just in case something like that happens, or for other things... like cutting stuff?

3. What the hell was he doing that close to the f**king deer in the first place?!?

we must have the holy hand grenade of Antioch to prevent these tragedies.....

Monkey Menace in India Drives Residents Crazy

Just weeks after the Indian capital's deputy mayor toppled to his death fighting off a pack of monkeys, the animals are back on the attack, sparking fresh concerns about the simian menace.

One woman was seriously hurt and two dozen other people were given first aid after monkeys rampaged through a neighbourhood in east Delhi over the weekend.

"There were about three or four monkeys involved," deputy police commissioner Jaspal Singh told AFP.

"Wildlife officials are trying to find them. As police we're not experts in dealing with monkeys. We can deal with mad bulls but monkeys are more difficult," he said.

Along with an estimated 35,000 sacred cows and buffaloes that roam free in the capital, marauding monkeys have been longstanding pests.

They routinely scamper through government offices, courts and even police stations and hospitals as well as terrorise neighbourhoods.

Trouble boiled over in late October when the city's deputy mayor, Sawinder Singh Bajwa, 52, fell to his death driving away monkeys from his home.

He was on his balcony reading a newspaper when four monkeys appeared, his family said. As he waved a stick to scare them away, he tumbled over the edge and died in hospital from head injuries.

In the latest incident in Delhi's low-income Shastri Park area, residents reported the monkeys appeared late Saturday and rampaged for hours.

"I was talking to someone at my door at around 11 pm when a monkey appeared," Naseema, who goes by one name, told the Times of India. "As I moved inside, the monkey followed and sank its teeth in my baby's leg."

Six more bites were reported Monday in Shastri Park, while in an upscale neighbourhood in central Delhi, a rogue monkey bounded into the residence of Priyanka Gandhi, daughter of ruling Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi, The Indian Express said.

Animal control officers were deployed to chase the beasts away.

Estimates of Delhi's monkey population range from 10,000 to over 20,000.

In 2001 residential districts petitioned courts to make Delhi "monkey-free" and last May, federal lawmakers demanded protection.

But there has been little visible progress.

"We're trying to catch them but the difficulties are a shortage of monkey catchers. We're not able to take full action at full speed," A.K. Singh, a senior municipal official, said.

Delhi has a 10-million-rupee (253,000 dollar) budget to capture the common rhesus macaques which are handed over to a shelter in a disused mine area on the outskirts.

Neighbouring states have refused to release the macaques into their forests because they say the "urban monkeys" terrorise the local monkeys and swipe food from villages.


Animal control officials often use langurs, which are bigger and fiercer monkeys, to scare away the smaller macaques or drive them into cages.

Efforts to drive out the animals is complicated by the fact that devout Hindus view them as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength. Killing them is unacceptable. [We dont want to kill our God do we?]

Delhi's mayor has admitted authorities are fighting a losing battle.

"We've neither the expertise nor the infrastructure," said Mayor Aarti Mehra.

Once caught, "we're under pressure to release ... from animal activists and from people due to religious reasons."[/img]

Bear Steels Car, Bear Driving Car, How Can That Be?


New Jersey police are claiming that a black bear is the prime suspect in a car theft in Vernon Township. Apparently, the bear was attracted to the sweets inside the car and accidentally released the emergency brake. The vehicle was found down the road, full of bear hair and broken glass. This thing should be expected if we continue to destroy crime-fighting alligators. I'll take the alligator over the bear any day.

Suicide Squirrels kill power to thousands


ASHLAND, Wis. (AP) -- It was an unlucky day for two squirrels and hundreds of Midwestern power customers.

Brian Elwood, a spokesman for Xcel Energy, said a squirrel came in contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers Monday. Power was fully restored in just under an hour, and repair crews found the remains of the "unfortunate squirrel," he said.

By coincidence, another squirrel got into a substation 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich., Monday morning and caused a temporary outage that affected about 1,400 customers in Ironwood and two nearby communities, Elwood said.

The utility takes many preventive steps to keep the curious animals away from lines, he said, but they are one of the leading causes of outages, trailing only severe weather.

"We kind of liken it to anyone who's had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out," he said. "They find a way."

Rodney Johnson was stuck on an elevator at the city's Enterprise Center, where he works, when the power went out.

"For a couple of minutes there, I wasn't sure if I'd make it to Thanksgiving," said Johnson, who said he is somewhat claustrophobic. "They kept talking to me while they were trying to open it up, though, so that helped."

Once a firefighter opened the door, Johnson wasted no time in getting out.

"I'm surprised I didn't knock him down," he said.

LIFE IMITATES THE CUBE ONCE AGAIN

The AP wrote:"If we can get Hiasl declared a person, he would have the right to own property. Then, if people wanted to donate something to him, he'd have the right to receive it," said Theuer, who has vowed if necessary to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.

I'm resurrecting this old thread in view of new information about President Obama's friend and now "regulatory czar" whom WND calls a "raving animal rights nut" with a secret agenda.
<br>

WND wrote:Sunstein was editor of the 2004 book "Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions" that said "animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients' behalf."

Martosko believes if Sunstein becomes "regulatory czar," he could "spell the end of animal agriculture, retail sales of meat and dairy foods, hunting and fishing, biomedical research, pet ownership, zoos and aquariums, traveling circuses, and countless other things Americans take for granted."

This reminds me of a joke: Two baboons come into an ACORN office...

Animals may have someone to speak for them, but not unborn humans?
The absurdity of it astounds me.
