I wrote this story a year ago, but in the light of recent events, I have this need to share it again.
This is for Cecil the lion…and for five elephants slain in Kenya on Monday…and for countless extinct species….but mostly, this is for kindness and humanity.
Because, we are the only guardians of our own future.

Very, very, appropriate. You are so right; we are the sole guardians of our planet. I recall what the late Dr. Seuss wrote when he was asked by his biographers if he wanted to leave a final slogan. He wrote: “We can….and we’ve got to….do better than this.”

Beautiful and sad. But until we learn love, respect, and understanding for one another, we will never be able to give the same to animals- even those endangered. And why are they so endangered? Mostly due to our own abuse of them.
