Challenge #03160-H251: How to Save Human

Humans are too eager, sometimes, to protect us. We appreciate it, we rely on it, we've become highly dependent on it. Some of us... may have even grown weaker, relying on our living shields far too much. They are far too willing to throw their lives away for us, we must get them to see, their lives are worth just as much as ours are. -- Lessons

It is universally agreed that Humans, as a species, are insane. They have to be. Look at how willing they are to throw away their lives so that others can survive. Once devoted to their pack-mates, they will do literally anything for the greater good. Well. What they believe is the greater good.

There has to be a way to make them stop.

157 Darwin Fish Fish positions are few and include: Naiant (swimming/fesswise), Haurient (vertical/palewise), Urinant (haurient inverted), embowed (arched/leaping), erect (for sea-beasts: animal upper half rampant, lower fish-tail half curled). That's about it. Dolphins (not natural, but the heraldic dolphins) should be embowed "S" fashion. Fish only arch or are straight). Any evolving should be on the part of the submittor. (G)
