Dan, they were plotting I tells ya!  A bunch of African
tribesmen hatched an evil plan to invade Indonesia
and attack those orangutans.  It would have succeeded
but for the airport security, who would not let them
board without proper driver's licenses. 

(Oops.  Once again, Africa takes the blame for something
someone else was doing.)

Ja, one can scarcely blame hungry humans for devouring
dolphin.  That endangered species stuff only matters if
one is well fed, warm and comfortable.
