Agent Smith was right...humanity is a disease!

There's nothing like hearing news like this to make you a complete misanthrope.

LONDON, England -- The lion is close to extinction in Africa, a wildlife expert has warned after numbers fell by 90 percent during the last 20 years.

Only 23,000 are left compared to an estimated 200,000 in the early 1980s as a result of hunters killing them to protest livestock, said Laurence Frank, a wildlife biologist from the University of California.

The possibility of lions going extinct in their natural habitat makes me sick to my stomach.

And yes, I know I referenced The Matrix in the title of this post. But I just finished my paper on it.
