Zoo Jack

Proving nothing is sacred, thieves zoo-jacked four protected gold coin turtles (Cuora trifasciata) worth HK$50,000 apiece.

Reaching into the sensationalist goody-bag, the local rag reported:

Police fear four highly endangered turtles stolen from the Zoological and Botanical Gardens will be sold on the black market and their shells used to make a medicinal jelly.

Fear? The paper might as well have written "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth", though it would suck if the turtles were killed for such a frivolous reason.

Should the thieves be caught, the cops ought to feed them to the jaguar.
