I see no one updated the story of Boomerang since he was a cute and cuddly cub. Well, for your information he was removed from Noah's Lost Ark on January 17 2005 by the same people that purchased him (Long) at 8 DAYS old (a few newspapers got that one wrong - they kept saying MONTHS), which is why he DID get sick - he was aspirating his "milk" because the reportors didn't know how to feed an animal that young. Everyone spouts about what's best for the animal but no one was willing to just let him live in the only "home" he'd ever known.. which is what kinda ticked me off. Why not just allow Noah's Lost Ark to "buy" the cub from Long and be done with it.. noooooo.. Long et al had to create a media circus around the animal instead of just handling it fairly and humanely. Thanks for letting me vent.

Dear Kojak, My dog is horrible looking. Guests won't even touch him. He smells like moldy wool socks. My cat's face looks like it was smashed in by a hammer. His breath is like a small sewage vent. They are both very well fed and we love them. I'm glad vultures dig road kill. And I love the sight of worms in my garden. But fleas and ticks in the house bum me out.

As humans beings, we only care about the cute, cuddly animals. The ugly ones, no matter how much more important they are to the eco-system, we could'nt give a damn about.
