As man invades the remaining bastions of security enjoyed
by many of Earth's creatures, we are putting enormous
pressure on them and rendering many of them extinct.
The solution, so far unsuccessful, has been to set aside
special reserves for these critters, so we can have David
Attenborough
toddle along every so often with a camera
crew and make some breathtaking documentary about how
baby tigers can rend a baby Indian child limb from limb.
Under the Free Range Gorillas program we will set up a
breeding population of Mountain Gorillas or Siberian Tigers
or Purple-patched Patagonian Potato Weevils in your
district, depending upon climate constraints, and run an
advertising and civic pride campaign to ensure a smooth
transition for the wee beasties.
In exchange, the BBC will wheel David Attenborough (or the
new animatronic DA, once this one wears out) through your
town every so often, to film you and your adopted wildlife
creche and pump up tourism for your local economy.

Many of Earth's creatures taste just like chicken. <burp> |
|
|
True, though people apparently taste like pork. |
|

When it comes to Purple-patched Patagonian Potato
Weevils, actually, I'm a bit of a nimby. |
|
|
The free-range part made my mind drift to gorilla
burgers as well grogster. |
|
|
nimby = not in my backyard. |
|
|
Great idea. Stir-fried panda with cashew nuts, mmmmmmmmm. |
|
|
Might I also suggest liberal application of the Patagonian Purple Vinaigrette, [8th]? In addition to adding a delicate flavor, it kills (most of) the virulent strains of third world road kill bacteria... Bottoms up! |
|
|
The remaining viruluent strains endorse that suggestion.
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" is actually true in
bacteriology. |
|
|
No, that's how aggressive hegemonizing swarms say it, hence
//us// I myself say "whatever might kill me is best
avoided."
Not very witty, but, as you'll notice, I'm still here. |
