Quote of the week, from UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer:
“We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.”
Full man-eating badger article (BBC News).
Also, “One housewife, Suad Hassan, 30, claimed she had been attacked by one of the badgers as she slept.
“My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer,” she said. “It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey.”
“Sattar Jabbar, a 50-year-old farmer from Abu Sakhar, north of Basra, claimed he saw one of the badgers eat a cow.
“It tore the cow up piece by piece. I tried to shoot it with my gun but it ran away into the orchards,” he said.”
Awesome.
