Okay, this is my second SCP. The first I've tried with a horror feel. Pretty nervous!
Thank you to Roget and Tretter for critiquing this.

Actually, real quick. This image is still incorrectly sourced. You need to link out to the creative commons source itself so staff can check the license. I looked it up myself and found an error in your sourcing: you have listed the wrong title for the work. The name of the work is "Contrasting Tree Types Coexist in a Forest" by Wing-Chi Poon. Here's a link to the work on wikimedia commons. Ideally you should edit the credits and the link into the first post on this page.

Were ya inspired by the clown sightings the previous year?
While I cannot help but feel as though this is in reference to the clowns that were running around terrorizing people last year, it's still different enough and just flat-out weird enough to make itself something that will last even when people have forgotten about the 'killer clowns'. I was expecting it to just be about 'killer clowns' at first, but I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out that the clowns were herbivorous and pacifistic. +1 from me for the oddity of vanishing clowns that don't kill people.
This is BLATANTLY based on the fake mass clown scare from last year; the blatant falseness was obliquely referenced/explained in the containment procedures.
For an article that is blatantly based on other myths/media, it needs to stand on its own without need for prior knowledge of said myth.
As you can tell by my upvote, this does that really well.

Clown Processing Plants
Are you sure that's not Special Clown Processing?
My first thought was oh no, not more clown milk.
But no, this is way outside previous clown-based skips. And what the hell? What are these? Refugees from some kind of clownocaust? A Secret Clown Processing Foundation, perhaps? Completely unsettling, especially given how little resolution there is at the end.
We need a clown tag now.
