#6 The only thing that was weird to me was that he "calmly poisoned" his wife's half-eaten body. But maybe it was his way of getting back at the lion--in which case it may have been a very difficult and brave for him to do, and the apparent "calmness" was actually grief and determination.

We keep hearing these stories about rogue animals in Africa. I don't fault the animals. Their territories are shrinking so much that they cannot be supported, and subsequently, food sources are drying up too, due to human encroachment. Eco-systems are actually a lot more fragile than most human beings realize, and animals have a survival instinct that they have no choice but to obey. Animals prefer to keep distance from humans, but if they come to see humans as a food source, big problems arise--becasue unsuspecting humans are pretty easy targets for the larger predators. Same thing happens in the Rocky Mountains, with cougars and bears .

Another BIG reason to fight Islamicism: They don't give a shit about wildlife or the environment. For Islamics, it's all about them and their religious/political agendas. They are an incredibly short-sighted, selfish lot, as far as humans go (and that's putting it mildly). And they'd just as soon see our American natural landscapes destroyed, and all our magnificent wild species obliterated--FOREVER. Even this stupid fight in the Middle East--which THEY started more than twenty years ago--serves to take people's minds off the important natural resources America should be guarding.

About 30 years ago, a conservative wildlife biologist (my step-dad!) was instrumental in stopping the use of DDT in this country, which was endangering the American Bald Eagle--the symbol of our country. I doubt that many still remember how close the Bald Eagle came to extinction. Here's the question: does anyone think Islamotwerps care anything about the sacredness of the land, the importance of conservation, responsible mangagement of natural resources, and so forth? Heck, with all the (legitimate) concerns over the bombing of shopping malls and our own safety and security, it's hard for people to even give environmental issues a second thought (thanks to the Islamic terrorist idiots). Not only that, but they keep people worried over silly things like whether or not to allow their brainwashed, oppressed females to wear hajibs to school. If we had been dealing with these monsters during the DDT battle, our national symbol would have been nothing more than a memory--only displayed in cages at zoos here and there.

The IslamoFascists will only destroy what they can get ahold of, and they have no respect for accumulated. knowledge, science, progress, peace. Organizations like the ones listed above, have absolutely NO value to them, whatsoever.

The benefits of stalwart environmental conservation (clean water, clean air, natural lands. healthy, abundant wildlife), currently under threat by the IslamoFascism (and by many of our own misinformed politicians), is the birthright and the privilege of every American, and shouldn't be handed over to such horrible creatures as those who ascribe to Islam.
