Today at Wembley Stadium in London there is a race pitting a man – a star rugby player – aginst Monty, a 60kg Canadian timber wolf. They will race for 40m. to see which is faster – man or beast.
An English animal rights group is demanding the race be cancelled. They say the race will prove nothing and will onlhy perpetuate the4 breeding and confinement of wild animals in captivity’
The race is being promoted by a company that sells footwear. Another animal rights guy says anyone wondering how fast a Canadian wolf can run should go to Canada or watch a wild-life program on TV.
Remember when Ben Johnson raced a horse a few years back.
Do you see anything wrong with a race pitting a man against a Canadian wolf?
I haven’t seen anything about this story. Not a joke?
If not, bet on Monty.
No joke. The race is scheduled for today.
I would much prefer to see Neil McKenty race Paul Costopoulos from the corner of Sherbrooke St. north on St. Lawrence to Schwartz’s.
Winner gets a medium fat (only way to order it!) smoked meat and cherry coke.
I’m past that type of dare.
So…who won?
Tony, you forgot the dill pickle.
