Today I found out that there are only 5 Northern White Rhinos left in the world, while efferts are being made to save the species none of the proposed methods I have read about (with the exeception of takeing DNA for possible cloneing in the future) will save these beautiful animals from extinction in the near future. I dont blame the poachers how hunt them, many of these people live in very poor countries and are just trying to support their families as anyone would, I do however blame the greedy people who create a market for animal parts.

 

Now dont get me wrong I understand that animals go extinct, its a fact of life. But its a shame that some of these extinctions are happening because one species was so smart yet so stupid.

 

Here are some of the wonderful animals we have helped become extinct.

It's horrible.

 

Humans suck.

Tiere werden sterben wie die Zeit vergeht. That's humanity for you. Ain't it a bitch?

as long as we have to use money this kind of thing will carry on happening.

It is a sad thing that some of these animals were slowly wiped off the face of the Earth.
