This is a 'boaring' week

The 'boars' are running wild this week, all over the place. In the New Zealand town of Ruakaka a man was badly bruised when an engraged wild board knocked him to the ground, then we get the news out of Germany that wild boars are taking up lodging in cities such as Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. Another report out of Iraq says that wild boars are being culled in Baghdad's Zoo to stop the virus among the zoo population. Now these must be pretty strong porkies if the virus they have can be spread to other animals they never come in contact with. Then we are told that 'boars' in Germany are becoming more radioactive from Chernobyl fallout that started in 1986. The boars indeed are having a rough week, no one seems to care about them, and they're getting the blame for everything ... they are fast becoming 'pigs without a country!' The exception to these unlucky fellows around the world are our southern boars which seem to be flourishing, but then who really cares?!

  1. We should give these 'pigs without a country' a home right in the middle of say a country of lions so that we can have something to report about on the evening news for the next 62 years.
