The planet grew warmer, the weather more intense, and all the animals agreed that something had to be done. Individually, each species attempted to fix the problem.

The birds sang about the world’s beauty and while many humans enjoyed the new, complex songs, the human leaders couldn’t hear in their massive soundproofed buildings. The dogs increased their affection but while the leaders enjoyed the extra love, they couldn’t turn away from the allure of money. The whales sunk the leader’s yachts, however helicopters saved the decision makers.

The animals didn’t know what to do. Monkeys howled, the cows complained, and the horses refused to run, but the leaders didn’t notice, blinded by money. Each morning the leaders woke up with a goal to get more, to have their bank accounts grow ever larger. Experts taught better ways to increase the efficiency of growing the bank acount size. They didn’t have time to hear the environmentalists discuss the planet’s problems. They never learned how to save the world.

When the sensitive fish and frogs screamed about the heat, all the animals gathered and agreed that something drastic had to be done. The carnivores howled to eat all the humans, but the smarter animals countered that humans had guns. The elephants, rhinos, and hippos stomped that they would destroy the human houses and buildings, but the leaders didn’t live near, nor did the animals have transports to move closer. The snakes and spiders began biting humans causing the leaders to poison the forests and wilderness, making the situation worse. The concern and meetings grew so intense that some humans noticed the strange animal behavior.
