Oh, great! I was getting so tired of nature ever gaining a foothold anywhere.

I mean, the reason for the culling is that elephants have been doing extraordinarily well in SA in recent years. But it just makes me sick that the best solution anyone can come up with is machine-gunning entire families of them.

Why can't they move the families to places that need more elephants?

=(

Well, to be fair, that sounds a lot easier than it is.

I don't know what the solution is. I just don't want it to be this.

I feel the same. :-(

Culling elephants?

That's like culling people.

Oh, hey--wait a minute....

I know this makes me a tree-hugger (and so what? Trees are awesome), but I really do think of elephants as people. This is depressing.

[silk-noir.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with being a tree-hugger. I think there may be something wrong with people who think tree-hugger is an insult....

Agreed.
