Before meeting up with a buddy to see the new Avatar movie, I went to a coffee shop to do a little bit of copy editing. When I ordered my Chai, the cashier asked if I wanted it to be Indian or European. I got really excited about that.

Africa's rarest carnivore: The story of the first Ethiopian wolf ever captured, nursed and returned to the wild
What's the value of one animal? When a wild animal is found badly injured, the most humane option is often euthanasia to prevent further suffering. That's what usually happens, and often for good reason. Even when the resources to rescue one animal are available, a rehabilitated animal brought back into the wild might be rejected by its group, or struggle to find food or escape predators. If it does survive, it may fail to reproduce, and leave no lasting mark on the population.
