I'm watching the National Geographic Channel. There's a show on called "Explorer: Elephant Rage." Apparently, elephants are one of the most dangerous animals, killing many humans a year. The number of deaths is increasing, and this stupid show keeps asking "but what is causing this increase in hostility?"
...maybe it's because most of the elephants were in chains, in captivity, forced to perform in ridiculous circuses, their habitat was being encroached upon, or their herd was being killed! Jesus, people. Elephants are as emotional as humans, and highly intelligent! What would make anyone think that putting them in capitivity, or mistreating them would make them any less sad/aggravated/homicidal than a human? Leave them the fuck alone!
Ugh!
idiocy
