Message for Scratchy

DOG NEWS: Presented by Daisy and Scratchy

Daisy: A man has appeared in a court in New York facing animal cruelty charges. It is alleged he tried to marinate his cat so he could eat it.

Scratchy: Tell me more.

Daisy: The cat was found in the boot of a car being driven Gary Korkuc, of Cheektowaga, New York, when police pulled him over for running a stop sign.

Scratchy: No, I mean tell me more about the marinade.

Daisy: Scratchy, this is a story about cruelty to animals. This man not only planned to eat his cat, he was guilty of cruel and repulsive forethought through planning to marinate the poor thing.

Scratchy: Olive oil, no doubt. There are questions over the quantity of garlic and whether or not to use chilli. Lemon zest would also be interesting.

Daisy: You're as disgusting as he is. For your information, the cat was unharmed and was adopted almost instantly following the incident.

Scratchy: What are the penalties for animal cruelty? It's cruel how much Big Boss underfeeds me.

Animal stories: reckon we need to shift that croc, Mick

November 19th 2010 02:19

Territorians, we call them in Australia. You may not have heard the term, but you know the type. Think tough. Think action. Think Crocodile Dundee.

Mick Dundee was no figment of Hollywood imagination. His no-fuss way of getting things done is part of the culture of the Northern Territory. All across the Top End, really.

Take the case of the two 20-something blokes who went for a dip at a popular swimming hole this week. Found a 3.2-metre saltwater crocodile there, didn’t they. That’s not good, they said, because lots of families with kids come to this spot.

So they did a Dundee. They fixed the problem. They picked up the crocodile and put it in the back of their Toyota van.

Then they drove home to Oenpelli, 300km east of Darwin, and dumped the croc on the front lawn. That’s where the local policeman found it.

“We were doing a patrol and as we went by, they let us know it was there," Constable David Melhuish said. "We were pretty surprised when we saw how big it was.”

Constable Melhuish said he would not normally recommend people try to catch a croc by themselves.

“Normally” being you and me and city slickers. But not Territorians. No need to tell them what they can and can’t do.
