Animal cruelty in China is clearly alive and well: Europics.at

Animal cruelty is clearly alive in China, judging by these astonishing pictures.

Locals attacked a wild boar in a city centre with sticks and clubs, before police shot the animal – and then ate it.

The huge pig had burst into a hospital complex in Taiyuan, Shanxi province, northern China, and charged at staff.

“It was mad with hunger and when we tried to stop it, the boar came after us,” said a hospital spokesman.

“No matter what we did we couldn’t drive it away.”

But when police arrived and finally cornered the 200lbs animal, rather than trap or tranquilise it they pumped 13 rounds from their handguns into it’s exhausted body – and then carted the carcass off to the local butcher.

One officer, who asked not to be named, told the Austrian Times: “He turned it into some very tasty cuts which we cooked and ate that night as a feast for the whole station.

“It’s sad he had to die but he made a delicious meal.

Buried alive: Jozef Guzy has a bowl of soup, just because he still can (Europics.at)

AN elderly beekeeper was nearly buried alive after he got stung – and woke up inside a coffin.

Doctors thought Jozef Guzy, 76, had suffered a heart attack and when the emergency doctor arrived in an ambulance he was declared dead.

Within three hours he was placed inside a coffin, which was immediately sealed shut.

He was then driven to the undertakers and put in a storeroom, but the mistake was discovered when Guzy woke up and started to shout for help.

Undertaker Darius Charon said: “He was shouting and banging on the coffin – he made enough noise to raise the dead so we couldn’t miss him.

“He had a lucky escape – there is not a lot of air in those coffins. And he did need some medical attention.”

Ambulance Service spokesman Jerzy Wisniewski said the emergency doctor involved had apologised.

He said that the medic had not taken the cold weather in Katowice southern Poland, into account.

“The patient was not apparently breathing and the body had cooled – the usual characteristics of death,” he said.

Mr Guzy told the Austrian Times: “The undertaker saved my life. The first thing I did when I got out of hospital was take him a pot of honey.”

The pair were so drunk they dropped the body repeatedly as they tried to host it back onto the gurney.

Eventually, the porters gave up and simply dragged the corpse to the autopsy room.

Police say they are interviewing two men arrested over the scandal.

“We are investigating this matter. It is possible that this was abuse of a corpse,” police spokesman Slawomir Masojc told the Austrian Times.
