Replica Bison Testicles the Focus of Crime Spree

EDMONTON, Alberta (Reuters) - Police in this Canadian city where the world athletic championships ended last weekend appealed to the public on Tuesday to help them crack a crime spree involving the theft of several replica bison testicles.

Edmonton police charged two men on Tuesday after they were caught red-handed with testicles removed from the life-size replica of a bison, one of several colorfully painted statues placed throughout the western city for the 2001 World Championships in Athletics.

However, 19 other fiberglass bison had their testicles severed between Friday and Monday, and the case remains unsolved, police spokesman Dean Parthenis said.

The two men caught with the imitation genital glands have been charged with one count each of mischief, but are not currently suspects in the vandalism of the other bison, Parthenis said.

``As far as we're concerned, the one case has been solved but the other 19 are unsolved, so whether or not we have another person out there, or a group of people, or copycats, we don't know,'' he said.

The two suspects were collared in south Edmonton early Friday, after local residents told officers of the vandalism. A few minutes later, the two men, both in their early 20s, were found with the testicles, a fire extinguisher and a cloth. Parthenis said he did not know the significance of the other two items.

``It's a bizarre case,'' he said. ``I mean, the whole scenario surrounding all the other 19 bison -- why anyone would want to walk off with testicles from a replica bison is beyond anyone's comprehension.''

Many of the statues, painted in colors representing various countries, were to be sold following the two-week athletic championships, with the proceeds going to charity.

Their value will drop considerably if they are rendered less than anatomically correct, Parthenis said.

This is the last time I'm going to tell you.

Nuff said.

Wait a minute, weed ain't legal in Canada. You have to have a doctor on your side, only 1 if you're going to die in a year and 2 doctors on your side if you're just in horrible pain. Getting 1 doctor is incredibly hard because a doctor can lose their liscense if the gov't simply disagrees with their decision. No proof needed. So weed's actually harder to get. This is Rock's idea of compassion. Sorry to get pissed over this but this whole damn prohabition screws over so many people and I just can't see why people stand for it.

Blame Canada? Hell, let's declare war!
It's a vile, cold, wooded wasteland populated with propaganda-spewing lumberjacks and their irritating ilk. Who needs it?

Hey at least Canada still uses 3 gallon flush toilets (if they have them

) and not the stupid cost saving 1.5 ones where you have to flush it twice anyway. Also the weather is always nice and cold at places and the own 1/2 of the Niagra Falls. BD :wave:
