Oink the Water Buffalo: he has a website
I posted earlier about Oink the Water Buffalo in Darley Abbey.
I’m may not be forgiven for highlighting this, but he has a website now as well. Photo credit Snap Derby.
I guarantee that I will not be doing a podcast interview.
I will - however - cover any MPs who do a publicity photo wearing a viking hat with Oink though.
Given that it is Derbyshire, Ann and Nicholas Winterton would seem appropriate. Oink.
Perfect use for CCTV: watch Oink the pig-buffalo
Being from my area, I thought I should report this one:
Hi-tech help has been offered to the owner of a water buffalo at the centre of a series of attacks.
The buffalo, called Oink, weighs more than a tonne and has been the victim of harassment and injury on land in Darley Abbey village in Derbyshire.
Stones and bricks have been thrown at him, hay set on fire and washing up liquid put in his water.
Local resident David Lakin has donated a CCTV system to keep an eye on Oink and deter any other attacks.
Mr Lakin installed the cameras and some lights and hopes it will offer the animal some peace.
That leaves one question. A buffalo called Oink?
