Wait a minute.... there are pictures of two different animals on that page. The top one, the one I meant to post, is most clearly a mangy fox. The second could be a juvenile fox or a marten, but it's by no mean a mystery creature. The two different animal pics don't give me high hopes for the authenticity of the story, either.
I agree 100% imaginarynumber1. Mangy fox and a mangy marten. The story itself is a bad joke.
But here is some more on mange in ukraine (mange-chupa...whatever)

Anyway the nasty, rusty rimmed trays, blue/greenish hospital colors and dirty cart does scream of some old/abandoned/ill-kept clinic/hospital in Eastern Europe/Russia though. But I looked deeper and I see that "east2west" submitted the pictures. They have submitted weird stories/pictures before. Some may remember the tree growing in the lung story:
http://news.sky.com/...nside-mans-lung
...pictures by east2west
As far as I can find there is no real east2west, and that is where the story takes a weird turn.
Now I have found many references to east2west. One from a media company (semi/pseudo-religious?) run out of the states. I also found that catholic.org picked the story up too:
http://www.catholic....ry.php?id=47362
...anyway
A found a few links that had "East2West British news agency" with references to a bunch of linkin profiles all to Russian/East European women.

Who has that company in the states

Now what is the first thing you guys think?
Well I then found these stories with images supplied by "east2west"

That kinda confirmed my suspicions anyway. I did find the original story is out of Russia (from what I can tell) here with NO COPYRIGHT/OWNERSHIP in the pics:

Which leads to a blogger here:

I find this all very ****in weird. The story here is not the mange/chupa angle either...
But what do I know.
