Has got me thinking... Roast Penguin

Being asian, it is no surprise that my mum just read the Chinese newspaper. Of course, there was the main headline of Joo-li-ya Gi-il-a-ad becoming the new PM of Aus. But there was one article which was a standout... for me.

A penguin was killed in a man-made fire. =O x2 Don't worry, though, it was not deliberate. There was this guy who wanted to clear the weeds, somewhere in Australia. So he decided to light the pesky plants on fire (it's actually a pretty good and fun idea, if I do say so myself). Anyway, the weeds were in an area with penguins, so they used dogs to round-up the penguins before the fire was lit. Unfortunately, one penguin did not get round-up. Soooo it died in the burning weeds.

It wasn't the first time, apparently. Back in 2001, they tried burning weeds, but killed like 40 or so penguins.

So it's got me thinking:
- has it happen to any other animals?
- what did they do with the dead penguins?
- why aren't they banned from burning weeds?
- did they eat the penguins?

See, these are the stories you can expect from a Chinese newspaper.
