Weekly Beasts – The Post

Although Christmas is approaching, we of the bestial section of the Posts we are not at all better, in fact we put together a rather sentimental, rather reflective collection – with guanacos in the clearing and Papua penguins on snowy mountains – and with a horror touch, as the vulture glides like a real vulture, at the entrance of a slaughterhouse. We continue with a reddish starfish open on the purple rocky bottom, with a quarrel between screaming sea lions (or whatever is the right definition for this verse) and with a man who hates himself very much or loves himself to the point of not forgiving any defect, not even arachnophobia: to win it you have a huge pink Chilean tarantula walk on your face. There is a bit of filial love thanks to a little Sumatran orangutan, who pulls his mother's disheveled fur, and a giraffe mother, a bit sticky with her puppy. But there is also a note of hope with Bread and Butter, the two turkeys pardoned by President Trump for Thanksgiving and ended up in a luxury hotel: they went well, others didn't.
