“Good leaders being scarce, following yourself is allowed.” —Any Hempel . I’m just sayin’ I doubt Ms. Hempel had social media in mind, but it still has a ring of truth in that context. . Of course, @dyemonkeyyarns replied, “Isn’t that called chasing your tail?” . #goodleadersbeingscarce #followingyourselfisallowed #AmyHempel #chasingyourtail #leadership https://www.instagram.com/p/B-s-KfeJNu3/?igshid=1djgsq66epsun

In Alaska, wild gray wolves are flushed from hiding and shot with rifles from low-flying planes. A veal calf cramped in a pen in Montana is forced to sleep on its feet. In a research lab in eastern Pennsylvania, a hole is drilled in the head of a young macaque. The fishermen swing grappling hooks into the whales' flesh to ensure that the others will ignore their own safety; a whale will not abandon an injured mate. Knives are drawn, and cleave through to the spinal cord. The whales thrash once more; in a sea of blood, they snap their own necks. An infant gorilla, orphaned in Zimbabwe, makes a sound in the night like 'Woooo, Woooo.' In Belize, the eyes of a fallen jaguar reflect the green of leaves.

At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom
