Meddling Envirokooks Unleash Plague of Giant Man-Eating Lizards
Once people on the islands of eastern Indonesia lived in peace with Komodo dragons, gigantic lizards that can recognize individual humans. They left the dragons deer parts after hunts, and tied goats to posts as sacrifices. In turn the semidomesticated dragons mostly left them alone. But then, Virginia-based Nature Conservancy was called in by the government to tell the villagers how to conduct their affairs.
Deer hunting and goat sacrifices have been banned. Now that the villagers are no longer allowed to feed them, the ten-foot lizards have adapted by eating children instead.
Dogs used to keep the dragons away from homes. But these have been banned too, for being an "alien species."
A 9-year-old named Mansur was eaten alive in broad daylight in front of his family. But Marcus Matthews-Sawyer, who works for a local subsidiary of Nature Conservancy, sniffs that the kid had it coming, because he "shouldn't have crouched like a prey species in a place where dragons live."
Widodo Ramono, the subsidiary's policy director, makes the priorities clear:
We don't want the Komodo dragon to be domesticated. It's against natural balance. We have to keep this conservation area for the purpose of wildlife. It is not for human beings.
As Ingrid Newkirk might put it, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy is a giant lizard's lunch.
On a tip from V the K.

Nice.............. it appears these kooks want human beings to be the endangered species.

Maybe the Indonesians should start feeding the lizards Moonbats....

Ok, haha, you got me. This is just a funny joke right? RIGHT?

What the fuck? Don't want them domesticated because 'its against the natural balance'? Why hasn't some local fed these shit-flinging fucktards to the komodo's instead?

Replacing something that works with something that doesn't. That's moonbattery. I've been to Indonesia - they have enough problems of their own without a bunch of western kooks creating new ones for them.

Peta-type thugs (a) can never admit they are wrong, (b) hold any life besides human as more important, (c) have (in my opinion) a huge self-hatred that motivates their actions and (d) would gladly trade human babies for their precious goats, deer, etc. (see "b" above).
This is the kind of "enviro-meddling" that is behind the "Global Climate Chaos Catastrophe". They're going to put things into play that really WILL throw off the world's thermostat (iron powder in the oceans, mirrors in space, etc.).
My feeling is, we know where they all are right now (Denver)...drop a net on it and let's get the world back to normal.

Annony, didn't you hear? Humans are the problems where the envirnment is concerned, therefore we should eliminate ourselves. And why the hell should people in Indonesia have to listen to enviro-nazi hippies from the US?

The Philippines is crawling with these butt biscuits in various forms: PETA, Greenpeace, save this and that, etc. They're currently filing lawsuits to stop the expansion of a geo-thermal power plant. I thought geo-thermal was "good" power...??? The only way to satisfy these goons is if we are all dead and/or living in caves.
Feed 'em to the sharks (and dragons).

Indonesia? Islands? 1 hippie? 1 hungry dragon? 100 natives? Man, the first thing the enviro-freaks wouldn't want taught in Indonesia would be basic math skills. What's wrong with these natives? Feed the friggin hippies to the dragons. Steal their wallets, buy some shit.

What's even stupider about this is that komodo dragons being domesticated/not is absolutely the least of Indonesia's environmental problems. The capital city is an overpopulated, overcrowded hellhole where tons of waste is flushed out to the ocean through a couple small canals, which effectively function as landfills and sewers. There's a garbage/pollution ring extending about a kilometer off the coast by Jakarta - the ocean is literally black with filth. Oh yeah, and people catch fish there and eat it. And bathe in it. In fact hundreds of thousands of the poorer people in the city live off the water in those canals and that ocean.
But hey, as long as komodos aren't being robbed of their fundamental human right to eat children, the enviro-hippies can rest easy in a job well done. Apparently, anyway.

Dogs kept these things away from the villages? Wow, I figured a dog would be an in-between meal snack for one of these monsters!
Anything with a bite that will send you into instant septic shock needs to be kept at a safe distance....

Personally, I think that all of these FREAKS who value animal life more than human lives should be taken to a city called Rome, and instructed to fight lions in a place called the Colliseum. WTF is wrong with people?
"What? We can't protect ourselves from natural threats because it might hurt Mother Gaea? Oh, OK. Then you can fight this lion. If you live- I'll do whatever you say."
Save a Christian- feed a Moonbat to a lion today!
