Here's an interesting story in the news today:
"Police say three lions rescued a 12-year-old girl kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and guarding her until police and relatives tracked her down in a remote corner of Ethiopia.The men had held the girl for seven days, repeatedly beating her, before the lions chased them away and guarded her for half a day before her family and police found her, Sgt. Wondimu Wedajo said Tuesday by telephone from the provincial capital of Bita Genet, some 560 kilometers (348 miles) west of the capital, Addis Ababa.'They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest,' Wondimu said, adding he did not know whether the lions were male or female."

The lions couldn't stand the sickness of these men. Says a lot, don't you think, about how despicable humans can be. We have to be saved from our own kind, by a predator. Amazing. The religious right wants to describe us as the stewards of the earth, but lions had to save our own young from us. Grrrrr.
