Popular Post geovalin Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 (CNN) A rat in Cambodia has been heralded a hero and awarded for saving lives. Magawa, an African giant pouched rat, was given a gold medal by the British veterinary charity People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) for his work detecting undetonated landmines in Cambodia. Decades of conflict have left the Southeast Asian country littered with millions of landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and other explosive remnants of war that still kill or injure dozens of people each year. Cambodia, with assistance from other countries, has spent years slowly clearing the land of explosives, but it's difficult and dangerous work. read more https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/25/asia/hero-rat-landmines-award-intl-hnk-scli/index.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus123 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Well done Magawa! Quite unlike the human rodents who either planted them or rained them down from on high... Those that rained them down on high ran back to their home countries (ie the US and Australia) and then claimed just how badly done by they were... ..and if they weren't raining munitions they were pouring mega gallons of Agent Orange out the their planes in one of the more inhumane (of which there are many examples) acts of the 20th century.
