After
her eight ducklings fell through a grate into a Vancouver
sewer, a panicked mother duck turned to a passing police
officer, Ray Peterson, for assistance. The duck grabbed
Officer Peterson's leg, and waddled around him, quacking.
Once the duck had caught his attention, it waddled twenty
metres up the road and lay on a grating, above a sewer
drain. The duck repeated the performance after Peterson
turned to leave. After checking the drain, and discovering
the eight ducklings, the police organised a tow truck
to remove the grate, and then rescued each of the ducklings,
using a vegetable strainer. Following the rescue, the
relieved mother duck led her brood to the safety of a
nearby creek. |
Kenya: Women Demand Satisfaction from Police
A
group of unsatisfied Kenyan women stormed a police station
in Kandara, north of Nairobi, in March, 2000, demanding that
the officers either make love to them, or close illegal drinking
holes that they claimed were causing impotence in their husbands.
The women, members of 24 local Catholic churches, were quoted
by one newspaper as stating, "Our men have turned into vegetables.
They leave home early and come back intoxicated. There is
nobody to meet the sexual needs of the wives." Reports did
not include the police response.
