(government gets overthrown in a military coup, still builds a bronze statue of a cat)

Well played, sir.
(Found it sitting directly atop the desktop PC, plugged into it via USB. Feeling fairly retarded just at the moment. Thank Ra that the long, eight-hour nightmare of the Win10 tablet is over.)
Ahem. You realize that statue is also from Turkey, right?
Yes. It took quite a bit of searching to locate a second, unique statue of a different cat from the same nation whose corrupt government survived an attempted coup.
Please don't make me find a third one. I think I may be pushing the limits of Turkish cat-statuary.
Screwworm outbreak in Florida deer marks first U.S. invasion of the parasite in 30 years

Interesting how the screwworm fly was eradicated in the US in the 1950's and 60's.
Florida keys are in a pseudo-quarantine status, I understand from my cousin.
I call actually recall back in the mid-60s seeing my brother's cat dying from a screwworm infection/infestation. I can remember how utterly gross it was to see them erupting from scores of holes bored through its abdomen. It was very sad.
