Hey People, I am Uzbek and I live in Tashkent. I can say that no one in Uzbekistan knows about this isse, cause you can critisize your president in your countr, but we can't do the same thing with ours, cause the next day you say ANYTHING wrong about the goverment actions, you'll find yourself in jail. So, all I want to say is, that the president of Bulgaria was not aware of what he was doing when he killed that animal. It is not his fault, it is the fault of our president Islam Karimov.
What's the difference between an English zoo, and a
Bulgarian zoo?
A Bulgarian zoo has a description of the animal on
the front of the cage, along with a recipe.
Creepy,
Please come on now the pig with lipstick did not know if Africa was a country or continent?Do you think she knows or ever even heard of Bulgaria?Cheney now would be a better option if he was left alone.
