A Boy in the Balloon Walks into a Bar.

Look into his eyes..........

I think he is calling Bullshit.











This posting deals with two things, one is
'The Boy in the Balloon News Story' and the second is 'The Sled Dog Culling Story'. These two stories are conjoined in my mind for some reason.

Here's the deal, I have been watching the news patiently regarding the "Culling of the Sled Dogs Story.' I have been watching it and looking for facts. I am not seeing many thus far.

It reminds me of watching Suhana Meharchand on CBC News Network standing in front a monitor looking horrified as a giant silver hot air balloon was blown across southern California supposedly carrying a young boy possibly to his death. This story went on for hours, Suhana imaging the worst and wondering out loud what this young boy was thinking about as the wind blew him across the country.

Here we had a situation where 'supposedly' a boy had climbed into a balloon and then gone adrift. The Local Police, The State Police, The Highway Patrol, Air Traffic Controllers, EMS and Fire Officials were all called out to this supposed emergency. Better safe than sorry I presume. News Rooms from across North America and the World watched, waited in horror for the end of this drama. We all know the ending of this story, there was never any boy in the balloon and now his parents are in jail. Has it been mentioned again or was a lesson learned?

A guy walks into a government office, he looks tired and frazzled. He wants to be compensated for stress related to a job situation(Don't we all?). A job situation that happened almost a full year ago. He pleads his case and goes into horrific detail. The government agents are appalled; THIS IS SHOCKING. Does the man have any proof? Can anyone verify his claims, are there pictures, does he have a witness? The bodies are buried in a mass grave, in the woods, in the mountains. The man is the only one that knows where the bodies are, that's if he remembers clearly after all this stress, caused by this event that happened a year ago.

The government agents give the man some money for the PTSD to ease his pain. The agents call the SPCA, the NEWS and then the Provincial Government. The Province wants an inquiry, the SPCA says it's not their fault, they heard about it after the fact, The News causes a frenzy. There are death threats, there are claims and counter claims all hell has broken loose. The top two stories on all the News Channels are 'Rioting in Egypt' and 'The Sled Dog Culling'.

What's the difference? In the Egypt Story we can see the rioting, we can hear the gunfire. In the Sled Dog Story, a guy walks into a Government Office and claims he had to kill a bunch of healthy sled dogs and provides a bunch of Peckinpah like gruesome details. Where is the evidence?

If this is true, I am appalled. Until the actual facts are in I'm not going to speculate and I am not going to get whipped into a frenzy by a bunch of "He Said, She Said, They Said, We all Said" CRAP.

We don't even know what this guy looks like, everyone knows what his boss looks like, now is that right? The GUY's story seems pretty fluid, this morning the dogs killed were old and sick, at first they were healthy, at first there was a hundred and today it was fifty or sixty.

Let's just slow down a bit and wait for actual details before we go out start giving out death threats. Besides that everytime they show the sled dogs on TV, our dogs go crazy and it's causing me a lot of stress.
