BERLIN (Reuters) – German police have successfully resuscitated a dwarf rabbit named Napoleon by breathing through a ball point pen after he passed out in a house fire, authorities say.
Two officers were called to a Berlin flat where firefighters had dragged the unconscious rabbit’s cage outside. The officers opened Napoleon’s mouth with a pen and breathed down it while giving the pet a cardio massage, a police spokesman said on Saturday.
The officers then rushed Napoleon by police car to a vet, who will keep him for observation for a few days.
I was suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to see Egypt that was so strong, it felt like my heart would break.
What an odd mood swing.
Running for Their Lives: The Realities of Greyhound Racing
By Rebecca Simmons, Outreach Communications Coordinator for the Companion Animals section of The HSUS
In the tenth century, King Howel of Wales declared that the penalty for killing a greyhound was the same as that of killing a person—death. In the days of the Egyptians, greyhounds were valued by the pharaohs for their grace, beauty and mild temperament. But in the 21st century greyhounds in the racing world are prized for only one thing—speed. In 2003 alone, an estimated 7,500 to 20,000 greyhounds were euthanized simply because they couldn’t run fast enough.
