News in brief...
HONG KONG: A restaurant chef ended up in hospital as a turtle bit his foot to escape the cooking pot in a restaurant, the South China Morning Post reported yesterday.
The 60cm wattle-necked, soft-shelled turtle sank its teeth into the chef's foot during a dash for freedom as it was about to be put in boiling water on Monday.
The chef was taken to hospital with a suspected broken toe, while the turtle - a delicacy worth hundreds of US dollars - was put back in a cage, having successfully won a temporary reprieve.
The owner of the restaurant in Hong Kong's Shau Kei Wan district told the newspaper that the turtle, eaten for its supposed medicinal value, would now be cooked and served up on Thursday. - 9news
Bravo to the feisty turtle but still I can't help but feel sorry for it. It'll still be cooked and eaten :*( It must be tough being a turtle. You can only 'run' so fast! Quick getaways are most definitely not for them.
They should have spared its life... put it on display for visitors or something. At least it was man urrrmmm, turtle enough to fight back. To those who ate the turtle, well, I have only this to say, 'I hope you get demam kura!!'
