I wonder how many varieties of animal life have been wiped out all in the name of small asian penis tonics?

Yeah, thank you once again China.

/And yet they're crazy about the useless pandas.

A world without big cats? I don't want to live in this world anymore.

Solution? Adopt a lion.

Problem solved.

We better all start sleeping with subby's mom to increase the populations.

/HOORAY FOR CONSERVATION!

couldn't we just migrate a bunch to mexico and hope for the best.

No one in Detroit is rushing for lions memorabilia. We all gave up on them long ago.

How about them Tigers tho?

But the cougars will abide, oh yes they will...

Would that be the soon to be 6-2 Lions?

lol @ Denver.

GaryPDX: I got a better one, in 20 years, it will be the 10th anniversary of the end of WWIII. There will be few humans and lions and tigers, and bears too, will be flourishing throughout the earth.

And that day we were all privy to Gary's most sincere, deeply held fantasy.

/we already suspected as much
//you all the way off-grid yet broski?

Just ring it up with the dong tea

Lions are terrifying. I could live without them.

Nah, Scar is gonna sell out Pride Rock

Humanity blows

I didn't get the reference, sorry.

I seem to remember reading this story in The Weekly Reader. When I was 6.

The joke is that GaryPDX is insane.

so that guy that sold me lion and tiger insurance was just ripping me off?

Big cats have largely been replaced by LOLcats in most applications.

how would the animal being extinct prevent the manufacturing of additional memoriabilia?

Dumb headline makes me wanna go all dodo on subby.

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."

I was on safari in Kruger National Park in South Africa two months ago.

The lions there were unbelievable. Our rangers were able to get their big 12 seater open top Land Rovers within 20 feet of eight female lions resting in a meadow with their 10 cubs. We even managed to track this family at night as they all went hunting. It was a totally amazing experience.

We thought this big family of lions meant the lions were doing well but the rangers told us about the horrible toll tuberculosis is taking on the lions in Africa.

The way they explained it was that when the female lions take down a water buffalo for dinner the male lions usually show up quickly so they can eat the choice parts like the heart, lungs and liver. The male lions get TB from the buffalo lungs and usually die in a year or two.

Male lions from neighboring prides then move in, kill all the cubs that belonged to the prior males and drive off the adolescent lions who then usually starve on their own. Then the new males mate with the female lions, produce a bunch of new cubs, then these new adult males die from TB in a year or two and the cycle repeats.

Considering the situation it's amazing that there are any lions left at all.

Nexzus: Yeah, thank you once again China.

/And yet they're crazy about the useless pandas.

No kidding. We've done just about everything we can to make those damned things mate, but they'd rather just sit there and eat bamboo. I love all of God's creatures, but if you're just going to sit there and eat, and not even fark every once in a while... there's nothing to do but let evolution snuff you out.

8 billion people. That is all.

Will someone please think of Kenya?!

/too subtle?

cryinoutloud

8 billion people. That is all.

A quarter of that was a good fit for this planet.

Homer was smarter than we thought.

And one has to think a third world war would last at least 10 years. So, what you're saying is WW3 is going to start tomorrow. Sounds legit.

WWIII will be over in about 50 nanoseconds.

MrEricSir: Solution? Adopt a lion.

Problem solved.

That may help with our human over-population problem as well.

No big loss.
