From A Cheever Loophole, Boggart Network News legal affairs correspondent:
A Macedonian court convicted a bear for stealing honey from a beekeeper, who tried to protect his property with Serbian "turbo-folk" music. "I tried to distract him with lights and music because I heard bears were afraid of that," said Zoran Kiseloski. As the bear is a protected species, the state was ordered to pay £1,800 damages. The bear did not appear in court.
The Boggart Blog team took a quick vote and decided against publishing an item advising bee-keepers to protect their honey if future by playing Girls Aloud records. We felt this could result in their being prosecuted under a law against animal abuse.
