BENTO, THE ALBINO KANGEROO DEAD AT 67YRS

Bento, an Albino Kangeroo that was originaly part of the Siegfried and Roy Team before being ousted at the last minute by "Ice" the Albino tiger, passed away peacfully this evening in his hometown of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Bento who could Box, Dance, and had 15 Cubic Gallons of storage space in her front pouch performed with the magic team in the early days around the streets of Berlin, Germany. Times were hard but Bento battled not only predudice due to her lack of color but also homesickness. She was dropped Ten days before their first contract was to be signed stating that Siegfried and Roy wanted to bring an edge to their show and pulling rabits from a kangeroos pouch just wasnt cutting it. Siegfried and Roy also accused Bento of being a Holocaust Denier to the dismay of her trainers. Bentos life long Vetenarian, Bob Cooper, had the following to say " Its a shame to see a great talent leave us but she lived a full life. I think Siegfried and Roy treated her badly with the rumours and all, but you could see it in her eyes, the rejection everytime those Bum Bandits were on TV arse`n about. I could never see Bento turning on them like that tiger did"
