Default Peacock down!

Death by golf cart. Maybe it's time the Calgary Zoo keeps them contained in a pen.

This is the third peacock death at the zoo since last year, with five peacocks now calling the zoo home. Last year, an adventurous peacock flew into a lion’s den and was promptly killed. Another less suspecting bird was killed when a wild red fox snuck into the zoo and took it down.

The Calgary Zoo is really not inspiring a whole lot of confidence at, you know, keeping their animals alive.

Another victim of the Calgary Zoo. Will this maniacal murder multiplex ever stop? I wouldn't be surprised if they kill one of the pandas and start WW3.

Just trying to teach the kids about the harsh realities of the animal kingdom. It's a veritable peacock slaughter out there on the golf course, and the sooner the youths learn it, the better.

How do other major zoos compare with animal deaths to ours?

How do we know that these accidents aren't staged and that there's some kind of eat a zoo animal underground club that's profiting off of these deaths.


Tomorrows menu, Peacock sauteed with butter and garlic served with mushrooms with a side of grilled Sasksquatch and a nice side salad. for dessert some ice cream made from the milk of some zoo bound endangered species.


$10,000 per plate.

Yes sir, we will add you to our notification list for the extremely wealthy dinners club. Please submit your preference for wine and cigars so that we can have them on hand, as you know nothing is better then being the person that helps push a species towards extinction then eating it. then having a nice glass of your favorite wine while smoking a cigar lit with a $1000.00 bill held some peasant who makes a mere 6 figures a year.

By the way, we are quite excited to be bottling our new White Tiger Blood wine, only $8000.00 per bottle and only 10 bottles will be made.

One flew into the lions den and another jumped in front of a golf cart. These aren't just accidents. These birds need help.

I think it is a good sign that the lion still has a killer instinct. It means the zoo hasn't broken his spirit yet.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has reserved his decision on whether to throw out the case of a man who alleges his credibility has been damaged by the province who won’t acknowledge Bigfoot is real.
Tracker and documentarian Todd Standing appeared in a New Westminster courtroom Tuesday asking Justice Kenneth Ball to order a trial where Standing says he’ll present evidence “way beyond a reasonable doubt” that sasquatch exist.
