"St. Fe is a quiet little town, and is kept clean and in good order. The governor, Lopez, was a common soldier at the time of the revolution; but has now been seventeen years in power, This stability of government is owing to his tyrannical habits; for tyranny seems as yet better adapted to these countries than republicanism. The governor's favourite occupation is hunting Indians: a short time since he slaughtered forty-eight, and sold the children at the rate of three or four pounds apiece." -Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle
I'm 25% into the Voyage and there's been several accounts of genocide - none more than General Rosas. But I'm tired and tired to these account. More pangolin! or any pangolin! Or cute puppies or wacky birds or
A SUPER CUTE FAWN!
