    So. There goes the sanctuary; where do the poor animals go now?
    Tell them to stay away from NSW National Parks and the Channel 10 studios. Between the Shooters and those cooking shows they could become the next Dodo.

    Thanks Venise
    I’ve checked and they’d never heard of the Dismissal anyway – but they

    If an Andean Spectacled Bear shits in the woods and no-one hears it, has it made a sound?

    The more I find out about Ecuador, the more I am amazed. Galapagos Islands? Could be a truly creative and hopeful location for Assange and WikiLeaks. Did the marine iguanas have any comments?
