Rogue nation: Zimbabwe

There was a time that we thought Zimbabwe was nice. That was during the 2008 Olympics when we found out they were pretty good swimmers. But like the Olympics, that time is over, and our love for the country with the funny name is extinguished.

The black rhino is almost extinct. We’re getting there, we really are. The media calls them poachers (but you know the saying, one man’s poacher is another man’s freedom fighter), and they are set on ending the black rhino threat. Yet Zimbabwe stubbornly refuses to allow our boys to finish the job. In fact, they are actually post armed guards around some of the rhinos.

Yes, you read that correctly, the rhinos have better security than arguably an Sub-Saharan politican.

Rogue nation: Spain

From our sister blog HombresSeriamentes.com: The Spanish government is clearly out of its head these days. The Spanish Parliament is pondering a resolution that would give apes and gorillas basic legal rights. The resolution is expected to pass next year.

Yes, the rogue nation of Spain might be seeking to give our enemies the right to life, freedom from “arbitrary captivity” and freedom from torture. How are we going to get any information about of them if we can’t torture and imprison them? Not to mention, since when do we afford our enemies the same rights that we give ourselves? The Geneva Convention does not apply to non-humans.

Where is Francisco Franco when you need him?

The story also mentions that species traitor Matthew Hiasl Pan, a chimp from Austria, whom we have covered before that thinks it is human. The chimp’s lawyers have appealed to the European Court of Human Rights. Should the beast win the appeal, it would mean all of Europe would have to recognize basic human chimp rights. Next they would want to vote.
