...Gagging geese in Strasbourg are force fed by husky women who stuff funnels down their gullets, the better to make foie gras. A herd of hefty women on the Bismarck Archipelago bolt down endless helpings of tapioca, the better to make fat wives for the scrawny chieftain...

Another time, a swarm of husky Florida mosquitoes smothered a herd of cattle by clogging their noses and throats. Some animals have become so rattled at having their hoofs trimmed that they have broken their backs, and one prize Brahman bull being flown to a show in South America managed to work open the plane door and leap...
