Not sure what section to post this.

The people who killed this animal should be prosecuted and imprisoned for animal cruelty. These people are still Barbarians in 2012. SMH


There was pandemonium at an area close to the Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar, at the weekend, following the discovery of tortoise walking around the area. SMH

The creature, which had fresh leaves carefully tied to its back, drew a large crowd of people. It was gathered that the people became scared when they discovered that the leaves on the tortoise, contained some substances which could not be immediately verified.

Residents of the area told Daily Trust that a similar incident occurred in area some time ago.

"It is one landlord that sent this strange tortoise. It is a sign to his tenants, who he has been having problems with", a resident of the area said. SMH

A onetime chairman of Odukpani Local Government Council in the state, Samuel Inok, who said a similar incident had occurred in the area, said three years ago, a vulture, which had on it, colourful materials was sent to deliver a warning letter written in red ink to him, but that God spared his life. shocked shocked

However, the crowd did not spare the tortoise, as it was killed and burnt. cry
