Re: Two hurt in attack by komodo dragon

Considering that they poison large prey then these two should have been left to be food for the dragon, and so be a warning for other zoo keepers. Komodo dragons are also very temperamental creatures so should always be treated with caution.

Seriously they've been doing my head in. I can't take a stroll around hunting loot without being attacked by at least two of them. At least I've got my trusty MP5 SMG with me though to sort them out. One swift knife movement later and I've got some lovely new skin to sell on too.

It's not like they were poking the beastie with a stick. The first victim was in his office.
In fairness, if your office is in the middle of a wildlife park with roaming dragons it would probably pay to keep the door shut but still.

If only they'd seen the new Bond movie, then they'd have known how dangerous they can be
