fastened wild creature.

with some doubting why the creature was

included in the Olympic occasion.

now and again difficult, and constantly unnatural are

ticking time bombs," Brittany Peet, chief of

hostage creature law implementation at Individuals for

the Moral Treatment of Creatures (PETA), said in

an announcement.

zoo in the Amazon since it was a whelp alongside

about six kin.
