As the weather warms up, the animals are stepping up their offensive on the human race. Their current strategy is taking up our time and resource in our very own legal systems.
In Oregon, there’s a lawsuit involving a duck attack. Back in 2012, woman was visiting her mother, when the neighbor’s pet duck (it’s Oregon, of course) she tried to run away from the berserk bird, and in doing so tripped and broke her wrist. The victim of this vicious attack is suing not the duck, but the owner, for $275,000 in damages. No doubt she is under the duck’s spell.
In France, a dog was called as a witness in a murder case. In a story we swear we aren’t making up, the dog took the stand because prosecutors hoped it would be able to identify its owner’s killer. The judge even ordered the accused to threaten the dog with a bat to get a reaction out of the Labrador. Incredibly enough, it didn’t work. Which means the dog wasted everyone’s time, likely on purpose.
