Animals at large

With the constant barrage of terrible news going around it now appears that the animal community have also gotten in on the act. Reports have reached TCC HQ that there was pandemonium in the Belgium city of Brussels quite recently. A pack of disgruntled zebras escaped from their ranch and briskly trotted through the city in a show of unadulterated defiance.

The stripy zebras according to Mr. Bernard Luyckx were apparently upset by the sale of their stable mates. They had taken umbrage which left them deciding to take affirmative action. Mr. Luyckx did not confirm whether the reports that the other animals in the ranch, in particular the resident camel indeed also had the hump because of the sale, too. Mr. Luyckx went on further to explain, though, saying that: "Some of the horses got sold and the other zebras got mad and trampled the gates and fled into the streets. Luckily there were no injuries. Nobody got hurt." The protesting zebras were eventually captured after a frantic police chase. However, this was not before they had entertained the locals with a free safari and arguably the highlight of the day, the marauding animals sensibly crossing at their namesakes crossing. 

Whilst these shenanigans were going on in Belgium a plucky raccoon in Toronto was making a name for itself, as it was photographed clambered up a crane that was more than 200 metres of skyscraper. The subsequent reports circulating that the little animal was a hedonistic thrill seeker or on a suicide mission have not been confirmed. 

With the distressing news of these  protesting zebras in Belgium running amok this story is distinctly reminiscent to the gutsy llama escape in Arizona in which two wily llamas absconded from their residence and tried to run away to only to be caught within half an hour. 

And finally, a highway was abuzz with an almighty commotion due to a lorry full of honey bees in Washington overturning and spewing bees all over the road.  It goes without saying the animals are certainly at large.
