Not Just Another Pretty Face

Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.

PIGIPEDIA
Feral pigs are being blamed for the spread of avian malaria among Hawaii's native birds.  Culex is a tropical mosquito that breeds in warm, nutrient-rich puddles, known as cups.  The pristine forests in Hawaii used to have very few of these.  Feral pigs create hundreds of cups per acre, that filled with pig fecal matter and rain water, create the perfect Culex breeding sites.  The mosquitoes are adapting to higher and higher elevations, where the native birds are making a last stand.  There are more endangered species per square mile on the Hawaiian Islands than any other place on the planet.
