Yes, you heard it here first, well actually second, or third, since it currently is making The Associated Press rounds. Tucked within a current story about a rescued baked-chicken-eating alligator is mention of an actual real caiman rescued by Thurston County Animal Services.

Of course we OlyBloggers are already hip to the state of local caiman affairs. Perhaps now everyone else will stop with the pshawing and listen more closely to our cries of warning.

Oh and if anyone is considering adopting a caiman, you can't in Washington State as of July '07. But if you already have one you are good to go as long as the animal/fiend lives.

No mention in the Olympia press, hmmm....

It took the PI to break this story. No surprise here. We do have the answer to where the caiman spend their winters in Thurston County. Eating baked chicken, tong fed to them no less. I'm telling you, the caiman have a pretty sweet racket. Nutria in the summer, baked chicken in the winter. Where is the outrage from the public on this governmental expense? Somebody, please, think of the children....

Actually

The O ran a breaking news blurb about this Dec. 30th & a full article on the story Dec. 31st!

Is that link safe? I don't

Is that link safe? I don't want my computer to get infected with the Trojan Lotus Caiman virus.

This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you.

No, we are not safe

Merwyn is brave for bringing the Trojan Lotus Caiman virus to our attention. A dread virus with a bite, no one fully knows what it will en-tail (add your own puns freely).

Getting our teeth into the tale

The 12/31 Olympian article doesn't mention the bit about a caiman (at least as of this moment), a 1/1 article does, I just happened to see the AP in the PI article first. No matter what, I believe Crenshaw's words should be heeded. And how come I'm craving baked chicken now?
