the elephants are loosing it!

I know that I am notorious for being an animal freak, so admittedly I started reading this because I was like "ohhh, sad elephants. that makes me sad. boo hoo." But then I read further and realized it's a much deeper problem.

It explains that this is "a sort of emergent species-wide emotional breakdown resulting from human interference over long periods of time."

We've finally even pissed off the elephants. Good for us.

So, for those of you that have an New York Times online account (it's free), you should read this article.

If you can't see that because you can't sign in, this is a good summary.
