Gotta be careful in that situation. He may beg for water, but if you give him too much he may die.

Welcome to liveleak, where racist chauvinists can live their voyeurism and express their wishes to just take matters in their own hands, because the government (any) is incapable of doind anthing right.
Abandon all tolerance, all ye who enter here. Sometimes, just sometimes you will spot a tine bit of common sense and rightousness.

true fact: the fastest bird/animal of any kind, in the whole world is the Ethiopian chicken. This animal is so fast, it has never been caught, photographed, eaten. If it weren't, there would be no starvation in Ethiopia.

That's a bit of a dilemma for the bystanders. If they assist him, he'll probably be disqualified. If not, he could die or seriously injure himself.

Well, you've gotta hand it to him, though. Great determination to carry on and reach the finish line...
Congratulations!
