| Bus driver suspended for clubbing (fake) seal |
| 2009-03-18 |
| A Metro Transit driver has been relieved of duty after running out of his bus on Spring Garden Road to bludgeon a fake baby seal in front of stunned protestors. Yesterday, Metro Transit general manager Pat Soanes called the incident "unacceptable" and said the man is no longer allowed to operate a bus. He will be on paid leave until his situation is resolved. I'd say his doom is sealed. According to eyewitnesses, the driver had been joking Saturday about how bus drivers were getting a bad rap recently. Moments later, he drove by a seal hunt protest in front of the Halifax Common. The driver then allegedly remarked: "Oh, there are the animal lovers," and asked a rider he was chatting with, "Should I? Should I?" Apparently, he decided he should. He stopped the bus, ran across the busy street and began clubbing a fake baby seal with a baton as baffled protestors looked on. "We said, 'Hey! Beat it, you jerk!'" explained one of the protestors, "and I guess he took us literally." The driver then ran back onto his bus and drove off, continuing his route. The bloody and tear-stained seal prop was in front of a sign that said: "Hug me, don't club me." |
