Teddy Bear Kills Thousands

A Child's teddy bear has been blamed for the death of 2,500 fish at a reservoir in New Hampshire in the United States.

State officials believe the bear was dropped into a pool and clogged a drain, blocking the flow of oxygen to the pool and suffocating the fish.

Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said: "We've had pipes get clogged, but it's usually with more naturally occurring things like a frog or even a dead muskrat," he said. "This one turned out to be a teddy bear and we don't know how it got there."
