Sometimes I’m amazed at how selfish and ignorant some people are. There are many species which are on the verge of extinction yet poachers still hunt and kill them and sell there fur.For example the tiger, as you probably know is on the endangered species list and some people still continue to hunt the beautiful creatures and then sell them to rich people who have no real need of it. Why people want to buy fur is beyond me. There’s no point of it, if you really like the feel of fur then buy fake fur. You don’t need to kill an animal just so that you can look “cooler” or more “important” or whatever you think you look like, there’s no point. Anyways why don’t you put yourself in their shoes (or paws), I don’t think you’d like it if people were killing your race so they can have a better coat.
The same sort of thing is going on in Africa. Elephants are needlessly being killed for there tusks to make our homes prettier. Of coarse sometimes you do have to kill them but only because they either kill a human or destroy the crops of one, but you only have to kill the one that led them. Then again in a way it’s our fault they come because taking up the land that was once theirs. That’s not exactly far but since when have humans been fair?
I think the poaching of animals is the stupidist thing mankind has done sofar. Because once a species is gone, there gone forever, and that’ll have a permanent affect on the ecosystem. All animals are connected, plants get food from the sun, small animals eat the plants, larger animals eat them and so on. If you take out one, you screw up them all. We all have to live more harmoniously with nature or we’re all doomed.
