Wild Dogs Turn Green After Eating Toxic Waste
It’s bizarre, to say the least: a pack of wild dogs in Russia, which previously had reddish fur, are suddenly emerald green after supposedly consuming toxic waste that had been dumped in the area. Photos and video show the animals, thought to be former guard dogs, sporting green-tinged fur.
From NineMSN.com:
“Either local residents or a factory have been dumping some kind of chemical waste there,” local news service RIA Novosti reported a police spokesman as saying.
A local resident said he initially thought someone was playing a practical joke when he saw the coloured hounds in the snow.
“I go past those dogs every day,” Alexei Bukharovsky said.
“They are usually reddish…but then I saw, running along the white snow, an almost completely emerald dog.”
The local council has been asked to clean up the dump.
It’s hard to imagine how eating toxic waste would turn the dogs’ fur green – perhaps through sweat? The idea of someone getting close enough to the wild dogs to color their fur to call attention to the waste dumping seems unlikely at best. Regardless of the exact cause of the strange color change, something clearly needs to be done about the toxic waste. Poor dogs.
