Misleading comparison as elephants are in no danger, but giraffes are in trouble. :o(

I think it's scary because who thinks of giraffes as being in trouble. :o :o :o

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

I do- I belong to an organisation which attempts to protect and breed endangered species to re introduce to the wild and giraffes have been on the list for a long time.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Really? I never would have thought that. :o

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

Really! It's the bush meat trade that's doing the damage- they are a form of antelope, after all.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

So very sad. :(

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

The number of extinctions accelerates with each passing year and so many people simply don't care.

I'm glad you do.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

It makes me so angry the amount of people that don't care. :(

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

It's how people like Trump and the Brexiteers get away with it!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

No empathy for anything but themselves. :o

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

They call it privilege.

[britalone.livejournal.com]

What a world, we call ourselves superior yet allow this to happen! I should imagine that there are many species that are endangered and we are totally unaware.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

That is probably so true. I think we are only hearing about the headliner species. :(

taking over the earth

[peppersneeze.livejournal.com]

apparently the earth is just for humans to live upon

We are going to be really lonely soon. :(

[seaivy.livejournal.com]

we always seem a bit late to the party

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

So true. I really do hope that people in charge of the world will start waking up and realize what a mess we are in. :(

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

oh noooooooooooo

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I would never have guessed they were endangered. :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

me neither :(

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Makes me so angry how many animals are endangered and nobody with the power to change it cares. :(

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

it's sad really, but in a way, it's the way life goes

imagine there would be still dinosaurs?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I just never imagine giraffes as being in trouble though. :o
Who wants to kill a giraffe? :o

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

true. Same thoughts here. They are not wanted for their fur or to make a carpet from them or handbags and all.
Perhaps it's nature's way of picking things out?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I just don't understand the need to kill animals. :(

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

so are yummy though ......

but most of the time I'm missing the point too

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

That's why God gave us cows, chickens and pigs. :p

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

haha exactly!!!

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

How have we let this state of affairs happen?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Greed by the vocal minority. :(

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

So many animals have been declared endangered recently that you would never have imagined would be in trouble :/

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I wish more people would actually care. :(
