I am hoping this post is allowed to stay up, because this is a story that needs to be told.
Folks, this is not a political post, I honestly don't care what side of the ales you are on.
This is a post about what we are losing. At the beginning of the last century there were nine species of lions and tigers. We are now down to three. Only a few thousand tigers roam the earth.
An elephant is poached every twenty minutes. Can we afford to allow that wise and noble animal to be hunted as well?
Both Cecil and one of his sons lost their life to a "trophy hunter".
Define Trophy Hunter. A rich, immoral jack bum who pays 50, 000 and up, to hang an endangered animal's head on their wall in order to puff up their fragile ego. In other words, they are a bottom feeder.
Wolves almost became extinct last century, but thanks to the persevering efforts of a few, their numbers are now thieving.
Most animals are not that lucky. It has gotten so bad that India has discovered the gene to clone the tiger.
And yes, Cockatoos and other birds have made the endangered list as well. During the 19th century many exotic birds of Hawaii became extinct because their feathers were used to decorate ladies hats.
And if we are not careful, and start giving a damn, other animals will follow their fate.
Snake people feel free to chime in, because I can remember a time when that reptile was used to make purses, wallets, and other fashion statements.
Now what are you going to do?
