“I want all of tortoise kind eliminated. But, if they look like a turtle, they may live.” Cornel vulture declared as he landed on his perch above all the others. “Orders come from the top dog himself.”

The frogs below him croaked and complained below him. “How many animals do we need to kill?” they complained. The poisonous frogs and toads could only do so much after all.

“Hey don’t complain to me! I’m just the messenger,” he cackled before beginning to flap his wings. “Now get to it. They won’t stay in their pens forever.” He took off back towards the boss’ den, landing inside.

The boss, a short, wrinkly bull dog, turned to look at the entering vulture before doing back to his painting. It was hard to tell what it was since there pawprints all over it, but he insisted it was art. “Any trouble with the orders?” he asked.

“Nope, they just groaned a little, but will follow orders. They know the drill.”

“And the status on the other animals being kept?”

“There’s only four elephants left; we’re trying to bring them down though.” The boss nodded. “And we’re working on having turtles become the dominate species, since you claim they’re the most desirable.”

“And the ugly tortoises are being eliminated?”

“Yes, because you’re just soooo good at telling the different species apart,” he said under his breath.

“Good. When can we invade the snails?”

“Soon, boss. Very Soon.”

The boss nodded before turning back to his art. Evidently he wanted turtles to be the only things left, despite the fact he was as far from them as he could get.
