Wild Dogs Turn Green From 'Toxic Waste'

[Bernard_Monsha]

Maybe Putin plans to release them in Copenhagen.

A pack of wild dogs have turned bright green after eating suspected toxic waste in Russia. (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091216/tod-wild-dogs-turn-green-from-toxic-wast-870a197.html)

The strays, thought to be former guard dogs, are said to scavenge for food at a tip on the outskirts of Yekaterinburg city.

A local resident said he thought someone was playing a practical joke when he saw the hounds in the snow.

"I go past those dogs every day," Alexei Bukharovsky said.

"They are usually reddish... but then I saw, running along the white snow, an almost completely emerald dog."

A police spokesman told local news service RIA Novosti that it is thought to be the result of illegal tipping.

"Either local residents or a factory have been dumping some kind of chemical waste there," the spokesman said.

The council has been asked to clean up the site.

Sounds like the beginning of a super hero movie, if only they got some super powers from it.

Nah it's survival of the fittest. Nobody forced those dogs to eat radioactive waste. :P

There's no cruelty involved. Someone apathetically dumped waste in the wild.

But nature didn't put the radioactive waste there for the dogs to eat... that is Walt's argument.

Or did it?...

My dad believes some kind of lab or somethin' used to occasionally dump rabbits around here. Like, BUNCHES (30, minimum) of tame rabbits showing up out of nowhere, he says you could walk up on them, and sometimes they'd allow persons to hold them. What's really freaky is that they all had a patch of fur missing around the same area. :blink: This was probably in the '80s, I'll have to ask him to be sure.

Anyhow, forget the toxic waste, the idea of stray/feral Russian dogs running in a pack is scary enough. They breed those rugged, solitary killing dogs...or at least, they sure look that way....

Wasn't there a dog in Ripley's that drinks water that pools up from a waste dump? The water is so poisonous that it should die from it but it doesn't.

Wild dogs turning green from toxic waste, eh? Sounds like the plot of a SyFy Saturday night schlock monster flick! :lol:

Too bad cancer isn't a superpower. I mean, probably.

Exactly what I'm saying. Thats why its cruel. Oh no big deal just some "waste".

..seriously this is negligence at its finest. First dogs what would be next to get damaged. Seriously theres no excuse here. Its a health hazard that should have been prevented.

[Broand]

I bet that dog is the envy of his friends.

Volcanoes killed half the dinosaurs, a giant ball of space rock killed the other half, I think it's safe to say that Humans are a vague threat to nature compared to anything nature could do to itself.

In other words, Humans are not Nature's biggest problem, Nature itself is Nature's biggest problem.

Don't make those dogs angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry.
