		<description>Ran aground for &quot;unknown reasons&quot;!?!  That island is isolated amidst the vastest seas on earth.

Ran aground -- picking up endangered species for the Singapore market you mean.

&quot;Unknown reasons&quot;.  Oh, I have no idea how we hit that rock in the middle of water, water everywhere.  

Oh, poor rescued &quot;sailors&quot;  --  &quot;sailors&quot; who hit a rock in the middle of the ocean!  &quot;Sailors&quot; who are global animal trade criminal profiteeers.

The birds are crazy valuable . . .  wow . . . who&#039;d a thunk.  Where&#039;s oceanic Interpol when you need them?  oh right, international police couldn&#039;t care less about anything except making way for more trade.

These animal robbing mafia &quot;sailors&quot; destroy natural heritage sites and our oceans.  

Let&#039;s count how many species go extinct from this little adventure in supplying the world&#039;s rarest resources to capitalist billionaire pigs.</description>

		<description>When one species (humans for example) overpopulates, it always threatens the existance of other species. The mechanism may differ, but the effect is always the same. We commiserate over the fact, but we do nothing about it. No more than the rats will when they destroy the penguins -- and ultimately themselves.</description>
