Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

This is from the story board of a Saturday morning cartoon, right?

How did you do that?
Bravo!

Flamencos?.............

Now we REALLY know the world is coming to an end.

Anteaters attacking flamingos.

Earthquakes in Japan.

Earthquakes in Mexico.

Nuclear radiation contaminating the world.

Gasoline prices rising every day.

And most importantly, almost 1/2 of Americans think that moron in the White House is doing a good job!

That's someone else's handiwork! Found that out on the net.

Reportedly the last words the flamingos ever heard were ‘allahu antbar!’...

Gnomes drag off their dead and wounded so the enemy cant get a good body count.

Swedish Flamingos? An ant eater?

They deserve to die. Ant eaters aren’t much faster than a sloth and birds should have been able to out flank this one.

In further developments, PETA is conflicted..

I’m glad I wasn’t eating when I read your post.

Please remove me from the Anteater Ping List.

While I have been a longtime Anteater supporter, recent rumors of concerted anti-flamingo rhetoric disturbed me greatly.

I even brushed aside allegations of flamingo muggings by Anteaters as possibly the antics of the Anteater's Local 534 in New Jersey.

But with the escalation into gruesome flamingo murder my support has withered, nay, I now denounce them.

Now I must go out in my yard and spray paint my loving birds black, and hope that marauding bands of Anteaters mistake them for one-legged crows.

Now you’ve got me planning the battle scene for my front lawn. Do they still make toy guns?

[thefactor]

You coulda given me ten made-up headlines along with this one and I would have picked this headline as the fake.

[paulycy]

Do they still make toy guns?

Yes but they paint the end of the barrel flamingo red.

There ought to be laws against high-capacity anteaters. Think of the women and chilrun! Of course, some unreasonable people bitterly clinging to their Bibles and anteaters will argue that when anteaters are outlawed, only outlaws will have anteaters. Its a crazy world.
