I am saddened by both events.
Sorry, Gracie, but I really don’t consider poachers of elephants, rhinos and other endangered species as particularly human. Trophy hunters are also pretty low on my list. Ditto trappers of exotic animals done illegally and with no regard for anything but their profit. I have a higher regard for scum pond than these “people”.

On Saturday evening there is a program showing called DoDo Heroes. Each program has been on a different rescue of abused animals. One was on saving the Koalas from extinction due to overbuilding on their lands. Another was on a Lioness being separated from her offspring and sent to a zoo. Another was on monkeys in Peru being used for amusement in restaurants. This week's was about an Elephant preserve in Thailand.

If you find the program make sure you have a big box of kleenex because when you hear what people have done to these animals you will not be able to keep it together.

Injustice abounds in this world. To humans and to animals and we cannot correct every wrong.

Anyone who eats a hamburger is a person who was born a carnivore.

It is all HOW we look at things and what upsets us most. We can become enraged about a lot of things, and cannot correct all of them.
