    Cool Dead Elephant

    I came across a dead elephant at the top end of Henrietta Street this morning. It had obviously just been hit and the person did have the decency to move it onto the pavement. Unfortunately no-one could get passed.

    It had a collar with a little bell on it . This is so it can't jump out of trees and catch sparrows when they are not looking.

    When I saw it I just couldn't leave it lying there so I phoned the council and they sent Hughie Simpson to lift it and put it on a lorry.

    So if you know of anyone who has a 3500-4500Kg Asian elephant that is missing, it could be their beloved pet. You'd think someone would notice if their elephant was missing.

    When my hippo was killed she was just left in the middle of the road . She had a collar, name tag + chipped - whats the point if no-one is going to check?

    They will probably keep the elephant there for a couple of days in case anyone enquires. If it is chipped obviously they will get in touch with the owner.

    This type of thing is no joke...................

    As far as I know it was not a hit and run, I heard the elephant tripped over a peanut and landed badly!
    Why be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

    I completely refute this baseless allegation.

    I was led to believe that this was a very pet-friendly forum.
    I sincerely hope it is not going to be sizeist!!!

    The fact that some people have pets that are not fluffy little balls of fun is purely coincidental.

    Talking deid elephant!!!!

    3 cheers for DW!!!! At least there are some responsible people in Caithness, not like the people who leave dead cats lying around!! Well done DW for arranging the uplift of the elephant.

    I really hope they find the owner, they will be devastated. If not maybe DW could find a local taxidermist and have the elephat preserved. It would look great on display in the Market Square or maybe as a centre piece in the Homebase garden centre.

    I was so sad to hear about your Hippo DW, hope you found him/her a good resting place. :0)

    I bet it was a thankless tusk lifting that elephant away.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.
