'Nazi Racoons' Threaten To Destroy Wine Harvest

[matcom]

<snip>

GERMANY is battling a new threat - "Nazi" raccoons that are ruining the country's wine harvest half a century after Hermann Goering introduced them, saying they would "enrich" the local wildlife.

Goering ordered the creatures released into the German countryside in 1934.

Since then, they have spread through central Europe because they have no natural predators there. They are now destroying Germany's grape harvest.

"Raccoons wiped out almost the entire harvest in a matter of days," said Werner Kothe, who operates a vineyard in the Brandenburg region.

The situation has become so serious in Brandenburg that officials have hired bounty hunters to cull raccoons.

Scientists estimate there may be more than a million in Germany, and say they are spreading to neighbouring countries at an alarming rate.

2. i can't get this song outta my head

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Nazi Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Nazi in the eye Nazi didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Nazi Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Nazi had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Nazi burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Nazi collapsed in the corner.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Nazi you met your match
And Nazi said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Now Nazi Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Nazi's revival.
