"Brittany Battles Algae"

brittany algaeThis is terrible. She's been through so much. The drinking, the divorce, the paparazzi frenzy. Now, according to the BBC, she's swamped with a three-foot-thick blanket of noxious algae.

But, the shit killed a horse??!! That's terrible, too.

As Reuters reports: "Environmental groups have blamed intensive farming for a build-up of noxious algae that killed a horse and caused its rider to collapse on a beach in Brittany in western France earlier this month. Environmentalists have demanded action after Vincent Petit, a vet, had to be dragged unconscious from a meter-deep patch of rotting algae after his horse collapsed and died from fumes given off by the heaped up sludge."

Does this mean the saying will now be changed to "It could kill a vet"?

I'm sorry, perhaps there's something I'm missing here, but, who rides a horse through "a meter-deep patch of rotting algae"?

Ah, France, where even the beaches need to bathe more regularly.
