Gee thanks for warning us about the gruesome image..... was that one necessary?
Eventually humans will kill everything especially beautiful innocent creatures will go first. I just wish they'd do it all at once so I didn't have to absorb these sad stories on a daily basis. Of course, they'll kill each other off at some point as well.
