We Hate To Say We Told You So
The British are finally awakening to the reality of the animal uprising. Sort of, anyway. They are noticing that they are being invaded, but still insist on trying to cite other causes.
LONDON (AFP) - It's a jungle out there: the number of sightings of non-indigenous, exotic animals in Britain has sky-rocketed in the last six years, according to a new study.
More than 10,000 sightings of everything from wallabies to dangerous spiders, crocodiles and even a penguin have been recorded since 2000, with the rise attributed to climate change, zoo thefts and animal escapes.
Chris Mullins, founder and co-ordinator of Beastwatch UK, which compiled the data, said Monday: "It is clear the United Kingdom contains far more exotic wild animals than the British public could ever imagine."
The figures show that in the last six years 51 wallabies, 13 spiders including a tarantula and a Black Widow, 13 racoons, 10 crocodiles, seven wolves, three pandas, two scorpions and one penguin have been spotted.
There were also reported sightings of 5,931 big cats, 332 wild boars and 3,389 sharks in British waters.
They try to blame it on global warming, neglecting the true malevolence behind this. Soon life in Britain will resemble a Monty Python skit gone horribly wrong. Wait until the penguins start exploding on the telly.

That was my irredeemable second cousin, Paulie; we’ve disowned him. First was the “telly” incident, then he started demanding we call him “Opus” and tried to sue Berke Breathed.
“One idiot in the family is enough, Paulie, and your antics can never top TC’s!”
