Elephants Dying



He's not sleeping.


There is a problem in Botswana:

More than 360 elephants have died in mysterious circumstances in Botswana in the past three months, according to local conservationists.

Some carcasses were found clustered around waterholes, while others appeared to have died "falling flat on their faces," according to Niall McCann, director of conservation at United Kingdom charity National Park Rescue.

"It's appalling -- we need to know what the hell is going on," he said, adding that he couldn't recall another time when so many elephants had died from a mystery cause.

Doesn't appear to be poaching related.

Is it a disease?

Is it a plague?

Is it poisoning?


Testing is underway.

If it ends up being poison, I will have a definitive winner for my "idiot of the day" award.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
