Default Endangered Sumatran Elephants Poisoned

"Three critically-endangered Sumatran elephants have been found dead
in an oil palm plantation in western Indonesia and are believed to
have been poisoned, an NGO said Saturday.

Villagers found the dead animals on Thursday in a government-owned oil
palm plantation in the eastern part of Aceh province. They were
estimated to be four and five years old, local environmental group
Fakta said.

“We suspected that they died after consuming bars of soap laced with
poison we found near the carcass,” the group’s chief Rabono Wiranata
told AFP." Story continued at

The special ed fellow from Mississippi who is always posting his
drivel here will no doubt smile approvingly of this atrocity.
