> The animal had come into contact with the transformer at the station, disrupting supply to the entire country. There were no immediate details on whether the monkey survived the incident.
I'm sure the constituent atoms of the monkey survived.
I saw a video the other day of some human running and jumping on a transformer after hopping a fence, dancing on the transformer in a distribution site.
It ended as you'd expect, a bright light, a lot of curse words from the camera operator who was probably blinded temporarily.

My sister worked for the post office years ago. If her office received live birds, and thought they might die (because the owner couldn't be reached to pick up or whatever), an employee could take them home and care for them.
It sounds funny, but they didn't really "mail" them as you think of the word. Rather they traveled in the company of a trusted adult who happened to work for the post office.
