Habeas asinus ...

I think you meant "Habeas asinum". corpus is a third declension neuter so it doesn't change endings in the accusative. asinus, however, is a second declension masculine so it does.

I thought that the article was about Pakistanis considering it animal cruelty to dye a donkey's mane pink, until I read below the fold.

Silly BBC picture library.
