I feel sorry for them but i spose its all part of evolution in the end. That said poached animals deserve protection.

[Virgin Mary]

I don't think Canada should be allowed to club seals, it's pointless.

[Okapi-741]

Look at their sad little faces!

There caujus

[FlyingJesus]

I think they're bloody tasty.

[Ezzie.]

I think we should be trying to do as much as possible to preserve them.

[Robby-Bobby]

We should try everything to help them.

What, you want to eat endangered animals, shame on you and by te way the picture i sent in, the animal is endangered!

[FlyingJesus]

Why shame on me if they're so good they should be able to not get killed so much

[Kardan]

We should stop what Humans are causing, for example destroying the environment, poaching, but natural things like new predators, no. Because it's evolution.

Don't feed the troll.

[Okapi-741]

I love endangered animals and sorry ive been ofline, ive had to do loads of campaigning work

[Dan2nd]

erm - I think if they became endaingered because of natural selection we should just let nature take it's course for example charities have put thousands into trying to save the Panda but the Panda's don't seem to want to breed. They are only in season for like three months in the year aswell so meh. They also require alot of protein but for some reason only want to eat bamboo =[

[SugarBabyRach]

what sickens me the most is people wearing them :( its so harsh, if an animal had died natural and they use the fur off them thats not as bad as killing them for fur intentionaly, i think that we should all to our part to keep the animals there :D and yer that photo was cute ;)

[Hitman]

If an animal is shot with a single bullet and dies instantly I think it's perfectly fine. If the animal dies in pain or suffers I really hate that. :( We should do more to stop animal cruelty I think. But yeah we should do more to save them but it is evolution.

I don't know why people put millions into saving these animals to be honast. I mean, is the extinsion of the polar bear going to effect us really?

Refer them to the internet :)

[e5]

I'd love to rescue animals :D

[cocaine]

the internet will probably be mind-controlled by then, with OS's installed into our brains.

but still, but its how i imagined it in my head

[FlyingJesus]

Ok as far as I'm aware the last big animal (as in not some microbe or insect that was never discovered anyway) to go fully extinct was the dodo. Now, someone tell me who misses them?- other than those who ate all their eggs.

[le harry]

tasmanian tiger..?

[lScottl]

Animals do not interest me.

Many species of animal's go extinct

If certain animals become extinct our ecosystem would crash.

Take away the bee from the english countryside and it'd become a barren wasteland.

Plus- i miss the dodo :)

We should just let nature take it's course if the country side turns into a barren waste land a new creature would evolve to occupy it. By preservng animals that should have died out naturally years ago we're controling the ecosystem which I think is bad.

Evolution takes hundreds of thousands/millions of years, and with no ecosystem supporting the animals, it would be a low chance any animal could evolve in inhospitable areas

I know how long evolution takes.... Look at us Humans thousands of years ago we were living in the freezing cold ice age there were two species of human back then one of the species eventually died out and the others (us) survived because we evolved to have greater intelligence and adapated to our surroundings. You could also look at the lifeless deserts we have around the world where theres no plant life for miles and miles but still animals have evolved and adapted to live there. I'm not saying one day the bees will disapear the area will change and hey presto a new species will be born I'm just saying we should let nature take its course and life will find a way... =]

[Ezzie.]

Actually the neanderthals were of similar intelligence, they only died out because we basically killed them all.. gotta love mankind eh?

[[DC]eption]

If they were of similar intelligence wouldnt they have survived?

Survival of the fittest n all that

[Muniflex]

Simple.

We need to protect endangered species.
Us humans can be a savage race.
Killing for fun is just wrong. I understand some animals are killed fo their skin so families can have money to feed, but that is no excuse, it isn't they only way to make money.
Why try and kill off some of the most beautiful creatures in the world?

[-Xiangu-]

If we kill them then that's just another thing on mankinds concious. In my personal opinion let them be killed. We will all die one day and so will everything else. There really is no point in trying to protect something that you know will die anyway.

We try to survive though don't we?
If somebody pointed a gun at you, you would just say 'shoot me, i'll die one day anyway'

If you would then there is no convincing you but personally i wouldn't so why should animals be killed just because they will die for no reason?

You really have no hope do you, we can save animals and we will, evidence:

Prezwalski Horse : There was only 13 left in the world, now, after a big breeding program, there is hundreds.

Quagga ; Now extinct, was extinct 100 years ago but they are on another specail breeding program that has nearly brought them back to life!

[Thetan]

Not much to say about it. I guess people should try and protect them better?

[Ugawa]

Endangered Animals,

what do you think about endangered animals, i have my very own endangered animals fundraising campaign which is doing extrimely well!

lol

so what so you think about them and what do you do for them!


Wd that's a very good thing ur doing. I hate to see animals endangered.

X

nice to eat kfnx.. <3

No, I don't have hope. When I made my post I meant like everything will be gone one day so I don't see why I or anyone else should try to save the animals. Let nature take it's course. We are the dominant species at the moment. Let us kill animals. Nature will take it's course and kill us eventually. I mean come on it's not like the polar bear we know today will be here in a thousand years anyway.

On the other post. I guess I would be contradicting myself if I said I didn't want to be killed. I am a hypocrit (SP?) I would try and save my life. Don't animals try and save their lives if they are being shot at or chased?

[Ezzie.]

As virgin mary said-

They didn't use your exscuse for hitler

You're going to die when you're 70 or 80 most likely, so i might aswell kill you now?

It's you idiots that are ruining this world.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I hate it when people complaing about animals testing for medicines and so on, if your family were gravely ill you would want a cure found.

[Ezzie.]

Mmmm.. not really undertaker i mean..

Sort of like an evil for an act of good.. which doesn't make sense, torturing animals to save a human kinda thing....

[-Xiangu-]

Oh so I am an idiot thats ruining the world? How mature, attempting to insult my opinion.

I agree with undertaker I would like animals to be tested on for curing diseases and for any other reason.

[Virgin Mary]

The only reason I don't think they should test on animals is because I think they should do it on people on death row instead of senselessly killing them.

They don't try and save themslevs in the way we do. We are a far more superior race obviosuly. We can plea to each other but animals cannot do that, they can either run or try and fight back, and if they do fight back people say they are dangerous savage beings. When one species of animal 'sqaures up' to another they can obviosuly use there own language but thy cannot communcate with humans therefore they have almost 0% chance.
Surely animals deserve life aswell as us? Animals are living organims and have feelings as much as we do, there is no reason to just go and kill for the sake of killing. You wouldn't kill a human being for fun, why kill another species?

Don't call people idiots. That is his opinion. Everyone is entitled to there opinion. Before you go blaming other people think first, not being open minded and blaming people results in arguments, fights and in some cases murder, that isn't ruining the world?

Fair enough but that is off topic.

I'm not sure on my views with animal testing. I obviosuly don't believe in killing/torturing animals but like you say, if i had a family member in need of treatment that animal testing could have cured i would probs want it.

It's a toughy, and luckily more people are donating their bodies to science so slowy and hopefully we will be able to cut out animal testing.


[That was a nice rant:) lol]


EDIT: Mary, you make a good and debatable point. But there are lwas, human rights for example. Plus should humans be tested? Is that wrong? I'm not really sure where i lie on this. It would never pass though no matter what and even if it did they would have to get said persons (whats the word? allowence?) anyway, they would have to get that first.

You have a valid point there. I just don't see the point in trying to protect something if I can't protect it forever so sometime someone will kill it so I don't see why I should bother.

Sorry you didn't change my mind :P

On the concept of donating bodies to medical faciities, I could never do that. I beleive your body has to stay intact to have an afterlife.

[Muniflex]

Lol i suppose i see where you are coming from. And i know everything dies eventualy. But don't you think it deserves to live as long as possible?
And why would you want to just let sights of beauty just disappear? Polar bears, Pandas, they are magnificent species and an awe to behold. Your kids may not know what they are, may never see one.

And i too belive in afterlife but never thought about it deeply. So do you not believe in donating your body to science?

And i hope to change your mind, even just make you slightly more conscious...:P

[-Xiangu-]

Well, the way I see it, I will never see the magnificent animals of the future nor the magnificent animals of the past. I will disappear one day and I as a human (species not personally) am beautiful and I will disappear too like every other animal. My point is my kids may never see some things but neither shall I. On your first point, yes everything shoul live as long as possible but that simply isn't the case in this world so let us do what we do.

And I do not beleive in donating my body to science especially the Heart or Brain as I beleive they contain the human soul and removing them from eachother would kill you after death. If that makes any sense!

[Herman]

i believe in conserving these endangered species.

there was a campaign held in my school just yesterday. there were displays of animals (fake ones) being illegally transported from one place to another.

the snakes were stuffed into socks. monkeys and birds are placed in metal pipes to avoid movement, and lions and bears are placed in small, cramped cages or in boxes.

usually, when these animals reach their destination, they are already dead or in critical (?) condition.

it's quite sad actually. i'm doing a campaign too with a few other schoolmates of mine to raise funds for the world wildlife fund (wwf).

[-Xiangu-]

goodluck

[GhostFace-]

i think it depends on if the animal is kl or not.

[FlyingJesus]

I as a human (species not personally) am beautiful and I will disappear too like every other animal.

the Heart or Brain as I beleive they contain the human soul and removing them from eachother would kill you after death

Good god you're weird

[-Xiangu-]

Why yes, yes I am.

But you do see these animals. You may not see them in person but you see them on the television. And it would be an awful thing to have these animals removed from our world.
And i know humans will eventually be gone but we try and preserve out life the best we can and we should help animals do the same.

As far as you brain and soul theory, fair enough. But surely helping the rest of mankind is more important? By donating your body to science they could find cures for diseases.

[-Xiangu-]

I find the thought of someone poking around inside of me when I am dead morally wrong

[FlyingJesus]

Why? I know plenty of girls (and some guys) who love having their insides poked about and they're still alive even.

[-Xiangu-]

What? I said when I die I don't want people to cut me open and mess with my insides not when I'm alive. even though being cut would be horrible alive. I know what your saying though lol :P

[Nereo]

I think they're bloody tasty.

LOL:D

its a shame when species become extinct tho:(

Well the world is ****** already...

World war three will be within the next 20 years, we'll all most liekly die due to a the war.

So... any point in saving it?

Thankyou for that predicition Mystic Meg.

And there is every point in saving endangered animals.

Ahh people are so bone idle/defeatist/selfish *****s nowadays :eusa_wall

It's an issue that I think will always be around. A sad one, none the less.
