Guinea pig

Officials of the Regional Food Safety Directorate (RFSD) - Burgas have slaughtered 99 pigs, hidden by their owners, said the press office of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Water. Following a tip-off about free-ranging pigs in the Panaya area between the towns of Aheloy and Kableshkovo, a spot-check was carried out.

The pets of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, who was poisoned in the UK, are dead, a spokeswoman for the British Environment Ministry said.

She told the agency that when given access to Skripal's home, a vet discovered his two dead guinea pigs. A cat has been found in a severe condition and a vet surgeon has decided to euthanize her to put an end to her troubles.

Public opinion is outraged when the political system makes sure that certain targeted amendments that cater to specific interests are approved by the House without any scrutiny while at the same time being unable to handle the explosive issue of the new single property tax (ENFIA). Citizens justifiably feel powerless and that they are being treated like guinea pigs.
