Kay Poland, who had a close encounter with a water buffalo

INDIA (ANS) -- Kay Poland, the operations manager/music director of KWVE, a Christian radio station in Southern California, had an “up close and personal” encounter recently with the local wildlife in India.

Ms. Poland was meeting with a family in an Indian village. She was

brave enough to try a local toilet, and as she came out, she startled the water buffalo and the animal simply decided that it didn’t like what it saw.

As Ms. Poland stated “I don’t know if it was my outfit or what, but we simply came to an instant mutual dislike of one another. I simply couldn’t help myself… I had to charge!”

The water buffalo was reported as saying “I was peacefully standing there, minding my own business, when this strange woman came toward me. I simply HAD to defend myself.”

After a brief run in, the two opponents called it a draw.
