Of hippo-solidarity and human hypocrisy

(brought to you by market forces and mass transit in the 16th arrondissement)
I find it pays to be sceptical when it comes to humans -- you know where you are when they're deliberately screwing the place over, but things get rather murkier when they claim to be doing universal good.
I'm all for saving the planet -- not to mention the non-potamical hippos, perfectly fine creatures -- but surely putting up posters to denounce the fact that horses who spend their lives in suburban equestrian centres sometimes get eaten is beyond silly. How about altering the supply end of the equation? Or is it just that humans out there are squeamish about serving to guests something their little brats have sat on?
Can't say I really blame them...
