An anti-leopard pen, blimey, that puts the anti-fox chicken coops we get around here rather in the shade.

ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know about the leopards, I rather not be put in a cage either. : p
ReplyDeleteThe drawings remind me of the water buffalo sacrifice scene in Apocalypse Now. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWere the cages painted nice colors? That might make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI can see why the goats didn't want to go into the cages, but they should appreciate being protected.

ReplyDeleteNursey - sending one over..

xl - better go and watch that film again.
Will - I hear they'll be trying out a pink version next.
Map - Of course ;)
