Independence Week just wouldn’t be complete without celebrating the attempts of some group tryng to attain their freedom.  Well, a group of circus camels and zebras tried just that today.  From the AP via HappyNews:

Amsterdam police say 15 camels, two zebras and an undetermined number of llamas and potbellied swine briefly escaped from a traveling Dutch circus after a giraffe kicked a hole in their cage.

They were obviously protesting their status as second-class citizens!
