50 CENT may halt traditional drugs.
eBlockwatch, a South African
community policing group has
approached controversial rap
artist ‘50 Cent’ to become the
Godfather of a black rhino,
following two horrific poaching
attacks on its life.
According to reports the rhino
was shot a total of nine times by
poachers in two attacks this year,
mirroring nine bullets taken by 50
Cent from rival gang members
prior to his rise to fame.
“We want to ask him if he
wants to become the godfather
of our rhino so that he can create
awareness worldwide about rhino
poaching,” said Andre Snyman
of eBlockwatch.
Snuman told reporters that to
protect the rhino after the first
attack, her owner removed her
horn, however poachers returned
soon after to shoot her and dig
out the stub from her skull.
Despite its current highly
endangered listing, poaching of
black rhinos in South Africa has
doubled this year from 122 to
227, a trend which experts are
blaming on the rise of the use of
its horn in traditional medicines
in China and Vietnam.
If 50 Cent agrees to be her
champion, the black rhino will be
named One Pound, due to her
having a much fuller figure than
the rapper.
SCIENTISTS to solve bigfoot mystery.
A group of Chinese scientists
are currently seeking financial aid
in order to investigate 400
sightings of a bigfoot-style
creature roaming the mountains
of Hubei.
Although no conclusive proof
has ever been found of the
existence of the two-metre tall
hairy beast, the scientists are
drawing on a collection of hair
and excrement as well as a
footprint collected by explorers in
the region in the 1970s and 80s
to support their bid.
Currently the team are seeking
around $1.5 in funds, as well as
volunteers from across the world
to join in the hunt.
