A world without elephants...

...would be a less surreal place. Also, we drove the mammoths extinct
(literally, in fact) so let's make it up to their relatives. I find it hard
to imagine a world without elephants, where's the fun in that? Please sign

Re: A world without elephants...

The guy Gelerntner, of Havard, I think, just proposed that African 
elephants be brought to the US, to preserve the species. These are 
dangerous suckers so I agree with some hesitation. A species I woulsn't 
allow in on wildlife reservations, would be the face eating 
chimpanzees. According to Franz Waals, the primatoligist and 
anthropologist, they are 5 times more violent even then humans!


I have toyed with the idea of getting some billionaire to fund a 
feeding zone for African primates, and provide something chimps and 
humans would really value, like an Orange Julius concoction. Just feed 
the chimps and monkeys for free, and change their primate social 
behavior, even to the point they become dependent on yummies from 
humans. Its a purely, behavioral conditioning, to be withdrawn if they 
go violent. Also, maybe cooked soy crap that tastes and chews like 
steak could be supplied for tastey protein. Hell, if its any good, I'll 
eat it myself! Deny the pass out, if they start attacking each other or 
humans.  According to one physical anthropologist, what boosted 
evolution in humans, was cooking food because meats and roots are hard 
to digest, unless cooked. So please visual Peking Man with a French 
chef's toupe on, serving up 4 star quisene in the cave.
