Killer Teddy Bear Leaves 2,500 Fish Dead[views:2785][posts:1]__________________________________ [Sep 25,2006 3:22pm - SteveOTB ""] Killer Teddy Bear Leaves 2,500 Fish Dead By Associated Press 2 hours ago MILFORD, N.H. - A teddy bear has been implicated in 2,500 deaths. Of trout, that is. State officials say a teddy bear dropped into a pool at a Fish and Game Department hatchery earlier this month clogged a drain. The clog blocked the flow of oxygen to the pool and suffocated the fish. Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the bear _ who was dressed in yellow raincoat and hat _ is believed to be the first stuffed bear to cause fatalities at the facility. "We've had pipes get clogged, but it's usually with more naturally occurring things like a frog or even a dead muskrat," he said. "This one turned out to be a teddy bear and we don't know how it got there." The deaths prompted Fawcett to release a written warning: "RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS into the fish hatchery water IS NOT PERMITTED." He said it's not known who dropped the bear, but urged anyone whose bear ends up in a hatchery pool to find a worker to remove it. "They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said. "It's kind of a cute little teddy bear and people wouldn't think that a cute little teddy bear would be able to kill fish." |
