Weird BUT true

British butchers and farmers are terrified — of vegans.

Business owners say they’ve gotten death threats and had their stores vandalized with spray-painted words like “Stop killing animals!!” and “Go vegan.”

“We live in fear and we’re up worrying at night — they are terrorizin­g us,” said Wayne Marlow of Marlow Butchers in Kent, England. That’s just plane rude. A baggage handler at Honolulu Airport was captured on video carelessly launching suitcases from a plane down a long chute.

“The mystery of all my broken suitcases is solved — this is the ground crew at Honolulu loading up a @HawaiianAi­r flight to Phoenix,” Australian reporter Vanessa Marsh tweeted along with the clip. Monkey see, monkey do. A wild monkey has become a regular visitor to a public pool in India, often showing up and swimming laps.

Video of the spectacle in the city of Pune, Maharashtr­a, shows the simian swimming around the pool past people — even using a floatation device.

“The monkey usually comes to swim when the crowd is thin. No one minds, it as it keeps to its own,” pool visitor Niranjan Poddar said. Famous last words. “What are you going to do, shoot me?” a Tennessee man jeered . . . right before he was shot and killed.

Aaron Biddle, 21, got into an argument with Jadarius Knox, 23, in Chattanoog­a, and Knox allegedly whipped out a gun. Biddle taunted Knox, who promptly squeezed off a round, authoritie­s said. What a clevah idea. New road signs warn Maine drivers to “Spend Money on Lobstahs — Not Speeding Tickets.”

The roadside message boards, part of a contest run by the state Department of Transporta­tion, also read, “A Cold Suppah Is Bettah Thana Hot Ticket” and “Put Down UR Cell — Or You May End Up In One.”
