German wildlife park renames Putin the pig

MEHLMEISEL, Germany, April 19 (Reuters) - An animal park in Bavaria that had named one its wild boars Putin due to its Russian genetic heritage held a ceremony on Tuesday to rechristen the hairy hog with a German name following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Eckard Mickish, operator of the park just outside the town of Mehlmeisel, said he named the boar after Russian President Vladimir Putin three years ago upon its arrival given it had been bred from pure-race boar from Russia.

got me thinking of that old Ogden Nash poem..

The pig, if I am not mistaken,
Supplies us with sausage, ham and bacon.
Let others say his heart is big,
I call it stupid of the pig.
 
re Ukraine? all those dead women, children, elderly? I can't even watch the news anymore. They should hang Putin from the nearest tree.
 

There are an increasing number of "rumors" about Putin's health....cancer, etc. I'm starting to think there may be some truth in those reports, and if true, he is acting like he wants to take millions with him. I just hope there is an "assassin" lurking in his inner circle.


We can only hope. I do think that the lunatics are also chaotic and frequently become the source of their own downfall.

So, I do think there is hope that this will end without becoming a larger war.
