Humane Society
In the past week I have read of the following in the news:
-While the Barnum & Bailey Circus was performing in Mississippi, one of their elephants, Carol, age 36, was grazing in the adjacent field - minding her own business when she took a bullet in her shoulder - a victim of a drive by shooting. The pachyderm shook it off and went on with her act.
-In Africa poachers have been killing off rhinoceros for their horns but now their herds are being policed by drones overhead to prevent this slaughter.
-And in the African country of Mali, French soldiers have pushed back the insurgents and as a token of thanks the president of Mali presented President Hollande of France with a baby camel. The camel screeched a lot and refused to let Pres. Hollande pet him. This behavior would not go well in the Elysee Palace so Hollande placed the camel in the custody of a family in Timbuktu. But the instructions were misinterpreted and the custodians slaughtered the camel and made a delicious stew.
It wasn't just the big boys and girls who were picked on as I read where small dogs were disappearing in certain parts of our country. Hence - Humane Society ALERT!
