Section 1: The Start of the End

It was unclear to me, the danger we face in society until just recently. It all happened when I was hanging out with some friends and stumbled upon a fact that would change the fabric of what is nonfiction, and what is merely a veil over the hidden truth. "Indian elephants can be domesticized, but their African cousins have not ever been trained by men."  When I read this aloud, I had no idea a harmless fact would soon unfold a dark secret...

The African elephant, or "Loxodonta" (Greek for oblique-sided tooth), was once believed to be discovered by Georges Cuvier, in 1825. George Cuvier, a French naturalist and zoologist, is most famous for his 1817 book "The Animal Kingdom." Sadly the author died of Cholera in 1832, just seven years after discovering the most vile creatures to ever roam this rock now referred to as Earth. But this was just the start of the "unexplainable incidents" that would occur.  I'm not implying that the creatures gave Mr. Cuvier Cholera, but it does sound fishy, does it not?
