Let's face it, it's never easy when someone's overstayed their welcome. You may well like them and all but when it comes down to it, it's best for everyone that they get going. You'll always have the memories.
So, I've compiled some of the third wheels, the spare pricks, the
gooseberries of the animal kingdom. Which one would you like to see leave without a fuss?
The Northern Hairy Nosed Wombat
There isn't room for two kinds of hairy nosed wombat in the world and it looks like the southern hairy nosed wombat is going to take the trophy.
There may be less than 50 Northern Hairy Nosed Wombats left in the entire world so it probably hasn't got much of a chance anyway, in fact it's probably going to be extinct by the time you finish reading this post. So what's the harm in helping it on its way?
The Californian Condor
This horrible bird is classed as "critically" endangered with less than 40 mature individuals in the wild. That's not endangered enough for the evil looking cunt.
There is a positive mountain of scientific evidence that this winged abomination is responsible for souring milk, failed crops, birth defects, Limp Bizkit's career and menstruation.
The Giant Panda
Should we allow (
protect even) the existence of a species which stubbornly refuses to help us out? Our patience is running out, four-eyes.
The Alabama Shad
This is the most generic, boring fish I have ever seen. Not even the ecologist hippies care enough to estimate how many are left in the wild. If something has to go and it's between this and the Siberian Tiger then, I'm sorry Alabama Shad (Shad?!) but its time to say goodbye to your friends and family (or it would be, if they weren't going too).
Which brings me to....
The Siberian Tiger
You're a tiger! You're supposed to live in the jungle, eating buffalos and deers and the like. What is there to eat in Siberia? Malnourished Russian peasants? It's your own fault and you know it and don't expect me to give you any sympathy until you start inhabiting a sensible part of the world.
And finally....
The Blue Whale
The Blue Whale is the largest animal to have ever lived on Earth. It lives in the sea. In this terrifying time, with the world climate crisis and large parts of terra firma faced with destruction wrought by rising sea levels I have two words:
Archimedes Principle. That is all.
