| How many elephants died so a rich jerk could swank around in this ivory covered car? |
They shot them all- the elephant.
How could we be so ignorant?
Just for trinkets of ivory
we destroyed a whole specie.

so their bones could rot in wine.
What a weird Asian belief
rotting bones can bring relief?
They shot them all- the tall giraffe
bows and arrows while they laugh
macho pics decorate Facebook walls
while trophy heads adorn their walls.
They killed them all- the proud leopard
It wasn't all so really hard
Just a poacher's wire snare
and a gin-trap hidden there.
They shot them all - the rhinoceros
now there is no more for us
to admire- now we mourn
all because of their bloody horn!

So they killed them all- the Big Five ( and a few more...)
now no more are alive
They followed the examples set
of leaders plundering our natural assets!
So we now ask the President
why would anyone frequent
Africa so empty and bare
with no more Big Five living there?
We wrote them all- the letters sent
to the esteemed President
We begged his intervention for
how could he completely ignore?

Geeeeeezzzz. That car is one of the most ridiculously frivolous things I've seen in awhile. No ivory jewelry for me.
Where did you get the picture of the giraffe? I'm trying to find it's origin and story. I have somewhat of a reason to believe it was "tranquilized" in the photo.
