Elephants and cats

There are an estimated 1500 pygmy elephants still surviving in Borneo according to article.  The reason it's become news is because someone has decided it's a good idea to poison them.

On my side of the world, it seems that cats are killing millions of birds and small mammals

Meanwhile in Syria, the killings go on.

My point is that I don't really care that much about people murdering each other, but I do object to poisoning elephants.  In the San Francisco East Bay Hills where I live there are so many Feral cats that are killing lots of the local birds and mammals.  There's good news on this front, a resurgence in the coyote population seems to be cutting back on the cats and some species of birds are rebounding. 

So, you humans, please feel free to kill each other, but lay off the animals.  They were here first.
