Occupy Serengeti

A large group of gazelles have gathered in a makeshift community around the local watering hole to protest the injustices of the system they are forced to live in.  Picket signs with "End the Circle of Life" and "Prey for our Survival" speckle the  dry grasslands surrounding the oasis.  A spokesgazelle said that the movement is aimed at restoring freedom for the 99% of wildlife in the Serengeti, to end the oppression that predators have over prey.  "The eco-system cannot be reformed, it must be overthrown," they said.  "Why must the lions and cheetahs be given claws and fangs?  Why must we run for our very lives?"  Currently, no lions were present for a response.

Nearby, a baboon sits in an acacia tree and watches the commotion.  He is not impressed.
