Just a few more little examples for the collection. Copy of my entire "Down with people" file on request -- but it's a killer! American hunters are so trophy-kill-obsessed that, in the decade ending in 2014 (according to Humane Society figures), they averaged nine imported carcasses a day among the "Big Five" African species (lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and African buffalo) -- most of which require special U.S. and foreign permits, with "conservation" conditions. Some countries endanger their own dwindling herds just to sell the lucrative permits, and South Africa even offers 150 captive lions a year to make trophy kills easier. (Total hunting imports of all animal trophies averaged 345 a day, mostly from Canada and Mexico.) [National Geographic, 2-6-2016]

- ="These slaughters virtually eliminated large mammals from the Mediterranean area. North African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) were exterminated, having been hunted and captured to die in these arenas (Leakey and Lewin 1995). Elephants were also used by the Romans for transport and even conscripted for battle by Hannibal, a Carthaginian general who used them in a deadly march across the Alps, in which all the elephants died of exposure. Romans were probably the key element in the disappearances of the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) from West Asia as well (Leakey and Lewin 1995)."
