This morning I just found out that the tiger smugglers in Indonesia only have to spend time 2 years in jail and pay around $ 340. And last week, I found out that the Javan Rhino is EXTINCT.

Have you thought about this lately? That humans are far more demanding than they used to be? They start to think that they rule the world, and so, they can do anything they want. But now, we have more and more animals extinct. For nothing. For the sake of elegance, they kill animals. Just so they can get their skins and horns.

And what can I do? Nothing. I'm just a student. But I wish I could do more. I will be against you who still think that it's OKAY to kill endangered animals instead of breeding them. We keep on repeating the same mistakes our former generations did. They hunted and killed, and some animals are extinct already. Now do you want to be like them?

Now I never get to see a Javan Rhino. And I have never seen a tiger, too. I'm sure many of us still want to see them ALIVE, not in dead figures or just in pictures.

Please, think about the future, not your money. What about the other animals? If they are all extinct, what are we? A bunch of killers, inhumane people, and we still think that we are humans?

Wake up, this is a brand new day, the right time to make a change for our own's sake. What we've done to the poor animals shows that we are not humans at all. Please, stop this madness. Think about the future.

    This is a great article, and competely true. Animals are going extinct on a regular basis, and most humans do little if anything to stop it. Tigers are beautiful, majestic creatures, and I hope that one day when I have children they will know tigers as a living species, not one that they look at in a book. Thanks for the article, it was very inspiring.

    Yes, I'm afraid there will be no more animals in the future. I haven't seen a tiger before. Only in documentary films. This is so unfair. Now we can create artificial skins, so why hunt tigers? I just can't figure that out...

    People hunt animals mostly because they want to seem on top and prove how strong they are in this sick sport. They think that when they kill an animal that animal and it's species will be fine. In reality, you kill many because that one you killed cant reproduce and make more so your slowly destroying the species' future. There is very little need to kill animals anymore. This doesn't show how strong we are it shows how stupid we are for having better options and resources and not using them.

    It's sad to think that now our future children might not be able to be in a world with the same animals we were, or that they might only be able to see them in zoos. I also agree that now that we no longer even need their skins, we have faux-furs and stuff like that, but I also think it will be incredibly difficult to stop this problem because some people have relied on that way of life for so long.

    Not only by hunted, in Surabaya, Indonesia, political crisis of Surabaya Zoo made a lot of animals in there killed because the animal caretakers get no money to feed the animals. And sadly the animals are still abandoned while the government takes care about the corrupt zoo management.
