I think this is a good ideawww.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/feb/01/elephants-rhinos-australia-wild-grass
The reasons against it is "what if there's too many elephants???" they're a fucking endangered species, they're obviously not that hard to kill.
Also do you think Scousers will make a shrine for Hilsborough 2.0?

I think the more pertinant argument would be"What if it's another cane toad" but as long as they do some small scale trials first I don't see how this can be a problem, especially with animals that large that are clearly easy to cull if they do start to get out of control.

You know your holiday you got lined up....... maybe you could take a few elephants and rhynos over with you to see if they get on with the lifestyle, and if it works out alright, you could export some over there every week or soo.

I think it would be hypocritical of the Scousers to set up a shrine.They were at least partly to blame, for storming the gates, without tickets. Secondary factors, according to the Taylor Enquiry, but still factors.
39 dead in Heysel was hardly Liverpool's greatest moment either.

why is it being "a mug" to help out a friend when i have been very fortunate myself? the current flatmate has now saved enough to have a deposit on her own flat as a consequence of not having had to pay rent for a year.
