Now we need to get everyone this excited over all poaching

Of endangered animals.

We need to really cause an uproar over the elephants. And there are so many wild animals that really need protection now. Whales and dolphins.

It was one thing to hunt these animals when there were thousands of them.

Now we need to call out anyone whow still thinks it'seems ok to kill them

Just say'n, Community ecology is one of the places were ALL lives/populations really do matter.

This shouldn't be about warm blooded privilege, or photogenic/charismatic megafauna.

Environmental advocates shouldn't be picking winners and losers

We've got to say to the mammals, particularly that one great ape...THEY CANNOT HAVE IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, the devil made me do it...

It's interesting how the memes play out in a different venue.

MammalLivesMatter?

LionLivesMatter!

We'll ignore that probably most aren't killed by white Westerners.
