Petting Zoo Fire Kills 50 Animals

2008_3_10.babyzoo.jpgBetween 45 and 50 animals died in a petting zoo fire today in Marengo. A barn at A Zoo To You (makes noise) burned down this morning, killing piglets, lambs, baby goats and chickens from from the company's petting zoo. Until a little after 6 this morning, you could rent a "baby zoo" from AZTY for $200 for the first hour, $100 for each a additional hour, which included ducklings, chicks, bunnies, 1 kid goat, and 1 lamb. (Pictured. Fun for the whole family!) They also rent out exotic animals, reindeer, ponies, horse-drawn carriages, and full-grown animal petting zoos. [The Courier News, Northwest Herald]

That story bums us the hell out. Only one thing can cheer us up. And it is pink kitties and beer. Take it away, tragically unembeddable Japanese commercial!
