Paul The Psychic Octopus Retiring. Miss Cleo Up Next In The Tank.
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports.
Paul, the psychic Octopus is retiring from his career of predicting sports games, leaving the way for Miss Cleo to put on her bikini and jump in the tank instead.
The Octopus who correctly predicted Spain winning the World Cup over the Netherlands has almost a 100% success rate at guessing the outcome of sporting events, especially when it comes to Germany. Paul would be presented two boxes of food displaying the nation’s flags. Whichever box he chose to eat from was usually the winner of the game. When his recent prediction put Germany on the losing side, fans threatened to make paella out of him. Just imagine what they’d do to the referees.
PETA has called for his release from the Aquarium Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany, citing the confined conditions as unhealthy for the sea creature.
