I'm surprised they don't just cull them. Now they're spreading the problem out...

I thought it was bad when someone got my goat?

In my limited experience with goats, I think first prize in a drawing would be one, second two etc.

Bull Rider Killed In Freak Accident
Why is this of interest to you, dear Dwellar? Because of the bull's name.
Nope, Ima make ya read the article. Yeah, I'm feeling mean today.

Blast from the past.
Reality check, nobody riding a bull dies in a "freak accident."

Also... "It clearly was not an act of aggression," he said. "The bull was bucking in his normal pattern."
Mmmkay.

shocked, shocked I tell you!
The organisers of the pageant, the Camel Club, were cited as saying that they were "keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels" and promising to "impose strict penalties on manipulators".They described how Botox was injected into camels' lips, noses, jaws and other parts of their heads to relax muscles; collagen fillers were used to make their lips and noses bigger; and hormones were given to boost muscle growth.Rubber bands were also used on animals to make body parts bigger than normal by restricting the flow of blood, they said.
Honestly, good on 'em.
Those other hacks, they can compete in the unlimited category.

Stupid, spend $50,000 to move a rock because it was called niggerhead rock in a magazine 97 fucking years ago?
Also, what's with the N*****head. Do they think black people aren't smart enough to know what that means?
Black people aren't aware of racial slurs? Offensive terms can't be printed in historical context about them?.
And all this at a University where intelligent people are supposed to be concentrated.
Back in the day you had to work to offend the whipper snappers on the lawn.

Apparently a fire broke out on 16 Feb (in light seas). By 17 Feb in the early morning, 22 crewmen had to abandon ship. A tanker (from Corpus Christie to Rotterdam) took them aboard. Somehow, all 22 then got transferred to the Azores.
Apparently the vehicle carrier turned east to get within 100 miles of the Azores. But no port there is large enough for this ship. Nearest port is 900 miles away.
Yesterday, a salvage company deployed heavy equipment on the Azores to board to fight the fire. Also a tug was deployed. Unknown if it has taken the ship in tow or where it might go.

"Back in the day" is a bad time to emulate, when it comes to racism. It's good that we don't have to ignore as many of the lesser problems now as people beaten down by bigger ones used to have to.

I agree that racism is alive and rampant, but that $50 grand could be put to a more solid plan to fight it than moving that fucking rock. If someone is offended by the rock then they are doing pretty well, there is way too many people with legitimate beefs that should be addressed instead of squandering resources on bullshit The school is doing a hey, look over here aren't we wonderful while not accomplishing anything but making phoney brownie points.

Never doing anything as long as you could theoretically (but don't actually plan to) do something better with that money, isn't a good plan either.
I don't have any strong feelings about the rock in particular (and I'm really not in any position to in any sense), but arguments like "nobody I know thought X was racist years ago" and "we should ignore X as long as Y exists" are used across the board.on many issues, and are a pet peeve of mine.
