Values

CW has it now that the last election was about "values". Ask yourself why the Beeb gives such prominence the the extinction of an animal in the Congo, when thousands are dying, being raped and mutilated in other parts of Africa. Values indeed! I am all for the World Wildlife Fund and I am saddened by the extinction or near-extinction of any animal. But our priorities should be with the saving of human life. Genocide rules in Africa today. The first world must accept responsibility. BBC NEWS Science/Nature Congo poachers leave bonobo at risk
