CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 03/08/17

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

I was absolutely appalled to wake up to this news today: "Poachers have broken into a French zoo, killing a four-year-old white rhinoceros and sawing off its horn. Keepers found the dead animal, named Vince, in the African enclosure of the zoo at Thoiry, west of Paris, on Tuesday morning. It had been shot in the head and its large horn removed with a chainsaw. The poachers fled before they could remove the animal’s second horn, either because they were disturbed or because their equipment failed, police said."

It is astounding that in the 21st Century, superstitious (and completely fallacious) folk beliefs in the magickal properties of rhino horn persist in one of the most powerful countries on Earth. And I suppose, that just as they did when I wrote a post condemning female circumcision as 'barbaric' some right-on idiot is going to accuse me of racism for writing this!

Pah!

Graham allegedly comes back from Arizona tomorrow, and after a few days of acclimation, we disappear to Norfolk on Monday.

And here is the news:

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?
