NORWALK - Authorities are looking for the owner of a tiny male Shetland pony found wandering down a street in Norwalk. Deputies spotted the tan pony about 7 a.m. near Studebaker Road and Hayford Street, said Capt. Aaron Reyes of the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority.

Reyes said he figures the fat and happy pony just wandered away from a yard or stable sometime Thursday morning in the city of Norwalk. SEAACA Officer Robby Gochicoa was sent to corral the animal. "She was a bit skittish at first when I approached, but warmed up to me and let me put the lead rope around her neck," Gochicoa said.

Gochicoa transported the pony to SEACCA's animal care center in Downey. "She may be used for pony rides; we're not sure," Gochicoa said. "I do know that she is not bothered by the dogs here, and she likes people. "I'm sure she'd like to be home for the holidays," Gochicoa said.

Reyes describes the pony as about 3 feet tall and 4 feet long, like a giant dog.

Copenhagen Council and Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard have sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to `Be sustainable - don't buy sex'.

"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the approach to hotels says.

Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms at the project saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs, and have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to avisen.dk.
