#10  AS, at least they let the dogs go! There is a SE Asia country that the handlers ate the dogs when they ran out of US supplied dog food!

#9  el chupagabra baby!

Possibly a Reed Cat - we had them in TQ along the water. Some can get up to 50-55 lbs. Though they are nocturnal and stay away from humans whenever possible.

#8  a5089: I'm taking this seriously enough as a _phenomenon_ that I'm not making a we-don't-need-no-stinking-badgers quip, ok?

AS, I understand your point, though this was posted for its tongue-in-cheek value (hence the pic); regarding the potency of that uneducation/non-cartesian mindset mix, let me remind you of those famous fallujah spiders.

#4  We appreciate the comments, especially about the snakes, sea lions, and dolphins. We'll have to readjust the badger release program though.

#1  Welcome to the future: a sea of graduated-from-kindergarten urban peasants who whisper horrified nightmares to each other over the trash fire about what turns out to be badgers. Oh, and police officials who twist the knife in their allies' back by saying that abandonment is their preferred retirement option for expensively-trained explosive-hunting dogs.
