Poachers poison watering holes with cyanide, killing 41 African elephants

Lol, I get that and can't say I particularly care about that either.

But there is nothing worse than wondering what someone would have wanted. I plan to pre-arrange everything and leave very specific instructions.

just make sure you have a living will for now and you are good to go

they could garbage bag me for all I care... I know, I know...that freaks some out but really, I am not gonna care what they do with me...that should make it relatively easy.

Yep, me too. I have instructions in my will I'm to be cremated and the ashes disposed of by the crematorium in the customary fashion for unclaimed remains.

I never understood Christians. Near as I can tell, their religion says that when the spirit's gone, the body ain't but spoiled meat. Yet they revere corpses. Go figure.

Yes and around a similar issue; the other thing I don't understand about Christians is the death fear. If you are so certain that you are going to heaven and it is so much better than here, how come you feel the need to prolong the agony of dying? Why do all kinds of intervention to prolong, why not just let someone go naturally, unplug the machines and let them go...but nope...keep the body pumping even when they are brain dead.

New Orleans funerals are traditionally very upbeat, with lots of music, dancing, and partying. It's said this comes from the slave days, when the slaves would celebrate death as a release from bondage and entry into heaven.

Sometimes I wonder if most Christians believe as much as they pretend to.

They're only elephants.

I'd be more concerned had it been 41 humans that were killed.

Yep- You confirmed it- You are that stupid.

Myself- I see a funereal as a celebration of the life lived. Beer and food, and tons of stories.
Made peace with my maker about 14 years ago.

Freaking ivory and the idiotic people who will pay outrageous prices for it. This kind of pointless killing just really pisses me off, it's cruel and it's barbaric to take a life for nothing more than a trinket. It's not even a trophy hunting issue, which I'm also not overly crazy about, because there is zero skill involved.

It's all about China. Elephant ivory for carving, and rhino horn ta make ya horny.

And Asia. Nothing is done. To much money to be made.

Hey, someone's gotta pay for the ghouls cadillacs.

If you're going to do something, do it the best that you can.;-)
