yesterday was...

a good day for:

Koalas, as effects of a ban on koala-cuddling became apparent on the Australian tourist industry. The government of New South Wales has banned the cuddling of koalas because it "causes the animals stress". Many Japanese have already cancelled their holidays in Australia.

a bad day for:

Rony, a Canadian police dog, who bit a police officer in the buttocks while he was trying to arrest a shop-lifting suspect.
