German student attacks Hell's Angels with puppy

A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude
gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.
German police said on Monday that after making his getaway from the Hell's
Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a 5 km (3 miles) traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen, local police said. He then fled to his home nearby where he was apprehended by the police.
"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.
The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.

Australia's Hells Angels, please explain lifestyle

Australia's Hells Angels bikers will be forced explain how they pay for their extravagant lifestyles with sports cars high-end bikes and after losing a court case brought by the Australian Crime Commission.
Twelve of the Hells Angels bosses will be quizzed about their activities with the notorious biker gang, dating back 19 years, Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Thursday.
The bikers lost a Federal Court case on Wednesday aimed at preventing the Australian Crime Commission examination.
Sports cars, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, drugs, firearms, computers and financial documents relating to biker activities were seized in recent police raids, said the newspaper.As a result, the 12 Hells Angels bosses were served with summons to appear before the commission, to answer questions on tax fraud and their finances.
The commission has sweeping powers to force the biker bosses to give evidence against fellow bikers if they are involved in crimes including drug and violence offences.
Biker gangs in Australia such as the Hells Angels, Nomads, Rebels, Commancheros and Bandidos have periodically waged violent turf wars involving drive-by shootings and firebombings, as they seek to control their lucrative drug trades, say police.
In 2009, Hells Angels and Commancheros fought a deadly brawl at Sydney Airport in front of terrified passengers. One biker was beaten to death by up to 15 others wielding metal bollards used to separate passengers in the airport flight check-in area.

Thieves in Canada steal tiger, camels by accident

A "delightful" Bengal tiger named Jonas, and two camels named Todd and Sean, have gone missing in eastern Canada after thieves drove off with the truck and trailer in which they were traveling.
The three animals, en route to the Bowmanville Zoo on the outskirts of Toronto, were stolen, along with the vehicles, after their driver stopped for the night in the French-speaking province of Quebec, zoo director Michael Hackenberger said.
"Our concern is that the animals were last watered at 11 o'clock at night and so that's over 12 hours ago, and the fact that it's turning into a very hot day up here in Canada means that unless the trailer is appropriately ventilated they could absolutely be compromised," Hackenberger told Reuters.
Speaking by cell phone as he raced toward Quebec with medical supplies for when the animals are found, he added: "It's like an amber alert, the longer it lasts the less likely you are to get the animals back."
Hackenberger described all three animals as "delightful" and friendly, and said the camels, used as ride animals at the zoo, were like good-natured horses.
He said Jonas, who weighs in at around 400 pounds (180 kg), was trained and friendly and was locked behind several doors in an internal cage in the trailer.
"But he is still a tiger," he cautioned.
The animals could die of dehydration unless they get water soon, he said.
Hackenberger said he did not believe thieves had targeted the animals, and the region where the trailer was stolen has had other similar vehicle thefts. "I don't think the thieves had any clue about what was inside," he said.
