Animals three, humans zero

The newest PC religion is ecology (also the peacenik/hate America types are having a revival, but that's another story).
My husband loves nature programs, but after seeing five thousand "animals in Africa" specials and not hearing a peep about the democide in Zimbabwe or the various civil wars, one wonders about the press...

So we see this: LINK
Lions eating Tanzanians, usually children...1500 in the last 15 years.
Makes one wish the NRA would go in and teach the locals how to use a deer gun (oops: Then they'd be shot by the government as "pouchers"--no money to pay police to kill rabied dogs in Tanzania, but they have plenty of anti poucher police)...

Then we see this: LINK
Ted Turner now wants peace in Korea-- so he can turn the "demilitarized zone" into an animal park....never mind that that government is not exactly a human rights example LINK:
I mean, just because you starve a couple million people and shoot missles over Tokyo while making an atomic bomb doesn't mean that the evil Bush has the right to call you evil, right? Let's just be friends and save the animals...

One group even proposes THIS: Let's force midwestern farmers to sell their land and transplant African animals there....

This reminds me of Oklahoma, where the Nature Conservatory bought a bunch of land and remade it into "natural" environment for the buffalo...a very nice park. Of course, some argue that the great buffalo herds of the plains weren't "natural" at all, but the result of the Mississippian mound builder culture dying off first from climate change, then from European disease (When DeSoto went thru, the place was quite crowded....but smallpox etc. wiped out the culture that was already in decline). And come to think of it, Ted Turner has bought up a lot of local farms and put buffalo on them...

What no one wants to mention is that both of these groups essentially are pushing out Native Americans who actually own that area of the country...but Osage and Pawnee people don't count...

Ironically, when I was in New Mexico, I found that there was a large and thriving Oryx population...at White Sands LINK.

Not just in the national park, but at the missle testing base there...

Guess the Stealth aircraft and the Luftwaffe pilots learning to fly don't bother them...
