Disease Proves Non-fatal; Necropsy BBQ Cancelled

Countenances fell throughout the SVM yesterday as a number of livestock showed marked improvement with antibiotic therapy. The sadness wasn't for the improved health of the animals, of course, but for the concurrent cancellation of the scheduled "Necropsy Barbecue" which was to be held after all the infected animals passed away.

Said one professor, "We figured it was a shame to waste the meat and we are a little sad about all those donkeys about to die, so we thought, 'Hey! Barbecue!' and booked Black Sand Beach." When questioned about the safety of consuming flesh of sick animals, the professor said he was, "pretty sure" that "it'd be fine."

Donkey flesh, a highly sought Grenadian delicacy, was to be butchered/necropsied by fifth term students while final preparations such as the marinade and actual grilling were to be completed by sixth termers.

Organizers are hopeful to reschedule, however, as parasitology professor Dr. Linda Redney pointed out that a number of deadly parasites are coming into season in the coming weeks and "most of them aren't zoonotic."
