    Funny how people can relate to hippo's droppings being good for the environment but cattle's droppings on grasslands are bad

    Moral of the story is that whatever comes out from an asshole is not necessarily bad in life. Shit and assholes have roles to play in the society.

    Every Plant and Animal is importent to Mother Earth. And with every Species lost the whole System is getting weaker. It's like the Human Species is a Virus that is constantly killing the Immunesystem of our Planet.
