Ruh-Roh Scooby! D O G Spells Dog, not Kid

The New Zealand Herald reports, “Dog snack dupes dozens of parents, store apologises“.  Apparently, the folks down-under in ‘Kiwi‘ land don’t read labels before sending snackies with their kiddies.

More parents have admitted mistakenly trying to feed their children dog food after a pet snack pack featuring a well-known kids cartoon was put next to chips in a supermarket.

The store owners have apologised after dozens of horrified parents have said they bought the Scooby Snacks for their youngsters from the Whanganui Pak’n Save this week to eat at school and kindergarten.

They were shocked to discover the 30g individual carob snack treats were never intended for human consumption but were animal snacks.

Notices have gone up around Whanganui preschools and staff are checking lunchboxes to make sure children aren’t eating the wrong food.

Eeewww!! Chinese Puppy Chow

Gag on this morsel from Channel NewsAsia, “China’s dog meat festival opens despite ban rumours“.

A notorious Chinese dog meat festival opened on Wednesday (Jun 21) with sellers torching the hair off carcasses, butchers chopping slabs of canines and cooks frying up dishes, dispelling rumours that authorities would ban sales this year.

After earlier reports of a sales ban at the summer solstice event in the southern city of Yulin, animal rights groups said vendors and officials reached a compromise and set a limit of two dogs on display per stall.

But multiple carcasses rested on several stalls at two markets, with stiff pointy tails, leathery yellow skin, eyes shut and bared teeth as if in a final growl.

Here’s the real deal puppy chow, not that gross and disgusting chow made from, well, chow chows.

Daily Darwin – On Their Way to the Testicle Festival

Darwin hilariously reports that this tasty morsel (or genome) from 9News Colorado about a  “CO man accused of removing a transgender woman’s testicles” says it all.  As a matter of fact, Darwin thinks it might be way too much information.

Police say a man faces felony assault charges after he used an Army surgical kit to remove the testicles of a transgender woman.

Records say during that interview, Pennington told investigators he agreed to perform the medical procedure at the victim’s apartment in Denver.

Eeewww!!

Detectives say the surgical kit contained a scalpel, lidocaine, medical dressings, and other medical equipment.

Records state Pennington “used the scalpel and surgically disconnected and removed the victim’s 2 testicles and then sutured the opening back up.”  The victim’s wife was with her during what was described…as a 90-minute-long procedure.

Because “the testicles could not be re-attached due to time delay of a procedure to 911 call” we arrive at the second part of the story. The couple headed off to Montana’s Famous “Testicle Festival”.  Even though the Festival turned out not to be BYO testicles, there were still many festivities to enjoy.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors
