Too depressing for words

Michele

This is the sadest news I have heard in a long time. :-(

PATHETIC THAT THE ATTITUDE OF HUMANS AROUND THE WORLD IS "ME FIRST" We have about 5million TOO MANY PEOPLE ON EARTH! THATS PROBLEM #1!! unless the amount of people goes way down fast there is no room & resources for any other of natures creatures!! The world is run by CORPORATIONS who do not care about the world except what can be raped from it for profit!! REALLY THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD & its inocent creatures are basically doomed to extinction.

It is very sad indeed, but unfortunately the extinctions are accelerating. We are bringing the Neocene Period to an end with our selfish actions (%75 of all species could go extinct within the next 300 years due to our actions), and we could never have words bad enough to describe what we are doing. Most people can not even comprehend how bad it is. It will be a good day for the remaining life on earth when homo sapiens share the same fate, and at it is sad to say that the sooner the better.

Stop giving to people charities, there are too many humans on this planet.

Let us try and undo some of the damage we have caused.

If I had the resources, I would personally offer a reward of 1 million dollars for the head of any rhino poacher. This sickens me to the point of despising my own existence as a human. It leads me to believe that no matter how hard we try to save anything, we will only fail and destroy ourselves and everything else in the process. Is any amount of money worth the destruction of this beautiful planet???
