Our man Bean scours the internet to find all the best and hilarious stories involving animals from around the world.
On this edition, we find out about the Loretto, TN Police Department who had a Facebook post go viral when they asked the public not to flush their drugs down the toilet warning people that it could end up creating a gator hopped up on meth. The police department again posted on Facebook, "Let us be perfectly clear: the meth gator was a humorous illustration used to highlight the dangers of flushing drugs and other substances down your toilet. Alas, the meth-gator is not real. Let's say that again: THE METH GATOR IS NOT (at this time) REAL." Click here to read the entire story.
Allira Bricknell the 15-year partner of 34-year-old David Dowell, who died after he ate a gecko, wants to remember him as a "happy-go-lucky" person who was up for a laugh. He swallowed the lizard on a dare while at a recent party. She says he was "the best dad" and "I didn't want him remembered like this, I want to remember the happy times." Dowell contracted a Salmonella infection, was admitted to the hospital and passed away. She wants to protect the children from harassment at school because the other children would certainly make fun of them for that sort of thing. Click here to read the entire story.
Becca Hill's partner was in the yard of their home in The British town of Paignton, hanging laundry when a seagull dove out of the sky, snatched their pup and carried away their 4.4-pound brown and white miniature Chihuahua. It was taken so far way that they have no idea whether or not he was dropped. Hill originally posted a plea for help locating her dog Gizmo on Facebook but took it down because people were trolling her and doubting her claim. Kevin McGowan of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology called the incident "very unlikely," but added, "Not only would it be hard to lift off with that much weight, but there would be no possible way to get it to a stable position under the weight-bearing portion of the wings."
