transgender mayor stu rasmussen of silverton, oregon criticized for wearing short dress - 08/04/09
chalford hill, england, nov. 9 (upi) -- a british lobbying group has criticized a fire department for spending six hours on the rescue of a pet duck trapped in a pond's overflow pipe. chris and karen hutchens said a five-man team of gloucestershire firefighters arrived at their chalford hill, england, home just before 9:30 a.m. and dug a trench to free their duck, brownie, from the pipe, the sun reported monday. "it was such a relief when a fire engine turned up and they started digging the hole. the pipe was about 4 feet underground but they kept going, they were wonderful and really went beyond the call of duty," karen hutchens said. however, a spokeswoman for lobbying group taxpayers' alliance criticized the firefighters' actions. "whilst no one likes to see a duck suffering, animal rescue is not the central job of the fire service," she said. "in this case there were no emergency calls pending, but calls can crop up at the last minute which could be much more pressing than the rescue of a duck." a spokesman for the fire department said firefighters have humanitarian roles in their communities and were able to help in this case due to the lack of emergency calls. source

an new exhibition by controversial anatomist gunther von hagens showing two corpses having sexual intercourse has met with criticism. the german entrepreneur, who describes himself as a plastinator, has earned international fame for his body worlds shows which feature human cadavers arranged in lifelike poses. but his latest project cycle of life, which opens in berlin today, has been condemned as indecent and offensive for arranging two dead bodies as if they were making love. a group of cross-party german mps have called for the work to be withdrawn. "love and death are obvious topics for art but i find it quite disgusting to use them in this way," the social democrat member fritz felegentreu was quoted as saying in the guardian. alice strover, a green party representative, said the installation was "over the top and should not be shown". von hagens has defended his piece, insisting it is not intended to be sexually stimulating and the models gave their consent to the pose. but this is not the first time he has provoked controversy. in 2002 he went ahead with the first public autopsy in 170 years in britain, despite concerns that he could be arrested. he was once accused of using the bodies of executed prisoners from china in his plastination process and in 2004 he returned seven corpses which had head injuries because he said he could not prove they had not been executed. the scientist's technique, which involves removing body fluids and fat from corpses and replacing them with plastic resin, has made him a multi-millionaire. source
