"The tiger is liquidated."

"An escaped zoo tiger was shot dead in central Tbilisi Wednesday after killing a man working on flood relief efforts, a Georgian Interior Ministry spokeswoman said...."
Tbilisi streets on Sunday turned into a big-game park after lions, bears, crocodiles and hyenas went on the loose after flooding destroyed the Tbilisi zoo. Many were shot or drowned. The luckier ones were recovered and returned to the zoo. A hippopotamus on Sunday roamed central Tbilisi Square before being shot with a tranquilizer dart in front of a Swatch store.

Georgian authorities had said Tuesday that the animals were accounted for. But there was finger-pointing Wednesday about why they had declared the all-clear....

Most newsworthy fact - there are still Swatch stores.

"The tiger is liquidated."

Little Black Sambo accomplished the same feat, times four, without firing a shot.

It is a small version of the environmentalists who are restoring packs of wolves to their old habitats habitat now full of homo sapiens because it is an intellectual decision that morality requires that humans be eaten by wolves.

That is a powerful idea now blatantly being pushed by an openly Marxist Pope in Rome who feels like he has transitioned into St Francis saving the animals from the dirty homo sapiens until 90% of the world's homo sapiens population is exterminated by famine and the animals needs will rightfully determine carrying capacity of the earth.

"Liquidated"?

The Bolshevik Revolution is calling, it wants its rhetoric back.

Comrades, let us join together to liquidate all Kulak Tigers and Hippopotomi Wreckers!

Yowza Roughcoat! Ms. Althouse has at least two readers who understand Bolshevik rhetoric. As for the tiger, he was liquidated after lunch. Only innocent aid workers were harmed.

Another clump of cells was aborted. Pro-choice. At least it wasn't human. Progress.
