Very tragic but at the same time the titles somewhat funny.

a hippopotamus swallowed a circus dwarf in a “Freak Accident” in Northern Thailand. The drawf was bouncing on a trampoline for an act he was doing. He bounced sideways and landed in a Yawning Hippopotamus’s mouth. The gag reflex made the hippopotamus swallow the dwarf. The crowd applauded because they thought it was part of the act until they realised there had been a tragic mistake.

These things happen alot and is a shame for a freak accident. They should have the hippo’s moved somewhere else so this kindve stuff doesn’t happen. No matter what I say its the circus’s fault for putting that hippopotamus there in the first place. The dwarf had more in life than to be a circus one. But maybe he loved his job, and heck it couldve paid good.

I don’t think this was a “Freak Accident” like the circus owners says it was. Leave a comment on your opinion and how you think it happened.

    Thanks for telling us about the things animals will do when held in captivity for our amusement.

    This story has been floating around since 1994. It is complete bollocks.
