Ain't that the truth.

"There once was a time that the African elephant roamed most all of the African Continent. It was estimated that around 7-10 million elephants existed in the 1930’s. Today that number is a shocking 300,000 individuals and still declining at a rapid pace. Demand for ivory, combined with habitat loss from human settlement, has led to a dramatic decline in elephant populations."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/06/06/the-real-reason-for-the-catastrophic-collapse-of-tanzanias-elephant-population/

"This week, the Tanzanian government announced that the country’s elephant population had collapsed from just under 110,000 in 2009 to 43,330 today. Taking into account normal population renewal, that is a decline of more than 60 percent in five years — a dramatic and and disheartening statistic."

Yes it is all the elephants fault...no a word about human impact.

What a sick little prick in those pictures. The MF actually enjoys killing.

Tell that to the dead Palestinian babies, the ones who had already been born.

If the corporately owned Republican sock puppets in Congress who are trying to force trans-vaginal ultrasounds on possibly pregnant women had their way we would have an NRA written Constitutional Amendment mandating that those found to be pregnant would have to have their unborn fetuses given a 9mm Glock and a new "Stand your Womb" law passed.
Problem solved.
Now back to trophy poachers.

No innocent babies are being killed in an abortion
They are fetuses, not children nor babies.

So your basic premise is WRONG.

An abortion is just a doctor facilitated still-birth.

More Palestinian children killed in 3 weeks than Israeli soldiers in 8 years

By Derek Tsang on Thursday, July 31st, 2014 at 5:28 p.m.

Jake Tapper talks with Israeli spokesperson Mark Regev on July 29, 2014.
Gaza’s casualties have piled up much faster than Israel’s since bombs began flying three weeks ago, and on July 29’s The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper put the disparity in context during an interview with Israeli spokesperson Mark Regev.

"If my calculations are right," Tapper said, "Israel has, in the last three weeks, killed more Palestinian children, more than 200, than the total number of Israeli soldiers killed in military operations since 2006, which includes the Second Lebanon War, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defense, and now Operation Protective Edge."

"At what point does the Israeli government say, enough, we’re killing too many innocent children?"

That is total emotional BS about puppies

All first World Democratic Countries have legal abortions.
All Theocracies that repress women have illegal abortions.

MOSS LANDING, Calif. —More than 100 animals are in protective custody at the SPCA for Monterey County after being rescued from a home in Moss Landing, all of them in pretty bad condition.

105 FARM ANIMALS RESCUED FROM MOSS LANDING HOME

SPCA for Monterey County spokeswoman Beth Brookhouser said it is the largest case of farm animal neglect they have ever discovered
SPCA for Monterey County spokeswoman Beth Brookhouser said it is the largest case of farm animal neglect they have ever discovered.

Cows, calves, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, kittens, and dogs were rescued on Monday. The animals had been living on just a quarter-acre lot on Dolan Road, each of them struggling to stay alive.

"These animals were crammed on a quarter-acre lot, just ramshackle pens put together, no food, no water, very little shade," Brookhouser said.

The animals were found emaciated, some of the dogs weighing half what they should and covered in fleas. Many of the calves were too weak to walk.

"Her excuse was that she had gotten a bad load of hay but that doesn't explain the conditions of the dogs and the cats, that doesn't explain that the animals had no water, that doesn't explain the manure and the rotten milk everywhere, and the smell and just how awful everything was," said Brookhouser about the home on Dolan Road.

The SPCA was able to make the rescue thanks to an anonymous caller.

"We are so thankful that they called us. Many of these animals would not have survived the day if we had not gotten there," said Brookhouser.

The SPCA is not releasing the name of the woman responsible. The organization plans to put together the case for animal neglect and cruelty charges together next week and submit it to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office.

SPCA officers took in 34 four-to-eight-week-old calves, four cows, 35 goats, three sheep, three hens, two ducks, five young piglets, 15 dogs, and four kittens. Five animals were found dead on the property when the SPCA arrived.

Caring for these animals will cost the SPCA thousands of dollars. If you are interested in donating you can do so on the SPCA for Monterey County's website http://www.spcamc.org/donate/

What do you expect from a party that doesn't accept human evolution in the 21st century?

You can't change their beliefs. (Unless maybe you have the charisma of a Jim Jones or David Koresh, they live for that.)

You can't change their beliefs. Once it's in their heads, there's no getting it out. Also, it's a generational thing. They just have to die off.

The good news here: Young people more than ever are learning sciences... the physical sciences and the life sciences.

While we're on the subject of religious leaders, their (amazing, enviable) charisma and the gullibility of the faithful...

Is your moral outrage compromised by your
Religious compass?

Wouldn't you rather discuss the actual OP rather than have the glaring inconsistencies in your myopic indignation pointed out?

In one simple quote, Sister Joan Chittister, O.S.B. sums up the hypocrisy in the ‘pro-life’ movement:

I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.

Granted, this quote has been jumped on by the "libratard "news"", but it pretty much sums up my argument with the "Republican" stances related ( in my mind) to the "pro life" movement. Yes, lets make sure that the poor stay pregnant, poor, and stuck where they are in our society. Only a relative few are able to pull themselves by the bootstraps and succeed. THe rest don't need a handout; they need a hand up. And that means investment in infrastructure and education. That trickle down sh#t has NEVER worked. And if the past is any guide to the present, everyone profits when we do this kind of investment. Not that there are not risks to having the government run any programs. But our government need a massive overhaul too. Ending citizens united would be a good first start.

Where is the outrage?

Here it is:

Obama is a little girl who soiled his panties.

This place is full of clueless asshats, biggest shitshow on the Internet.

Completely pathetic.

It always makes me shake my head and laugh ...

Heck I guess if it didn't work out with those unborn children we could always sentence them to burn in hell in our own heads and then call them pathetic and laugh about it to ourselves, as a demonstration of our kindness and humility.

Its so very easy for the guilty to ignore what they are responsible for.

Yea, that. Up is down. Have a nice day, along with the rest of us ignoring humans! :-)
