10. We'll have to find a culturally relevant athlete! Maybe some "scientific" studies, see if eating spiders enables people

to climb walls, eating ducks let people fly?
I'd better stop. There is nothing that drags me into a near-racist fury easier than thinking about the Chinese and their long list of species they are destroying. Including the vaquita (in case you hadn't noticed my signature line).
In the other documentary done by the same group (funding from Leonardo DiCaprio foundation), I think one of the most appalling things was the blase attitude of the Chinese shop owners who were selling all the ivory trinkets. The guy organizing all the killing in Africa looked as evil as any movie villain ever, but those shop owners really infuriated me. Sad thing about the ivory is there was a group of Chinese folks at a festival here in the KC zoo around Christmas for their "Glow Wild" event and they were selling the same type of sculptures that were just as intricate, just as well crafted, but were made entirely of white jade.
