Farmer cuts out a rare lion ooshie king on live TV

Victorian farmer Stephen Black, alongside his partner Melissa Portingale, cuts out a Lion King Ooshie collection toy live on Channel Nine's Today show, after he's tried to sell it or to trade for water, which provoked a brutal reaction from social media. The couple decided to offer their Simba No. 1 for sale, for about $ 5,000, and use that money to buy water and other supplies for their farm. . But after being subjected to an online flood of abuse, Mr. Black said he had decided to use this situation to educate farmers about the plight of peasants hit by drought – and to make sure that no one can buy the toy. "You can not buy it, I will destroy it," he says. "I told that to people … the world has to stop this because people are hurt and things are getting farther and farther away."
