Take a Stand, Save the Wildlife

Take a stand. Think about humans gradually decreasing. We slowly become endangered and then extinct. What would we feel? What if we become the victims of hunting or our homes have been destroyed? Will we like it?

I do not think we would enjoy if species of our kind were decreasing and our homes were destroyed. We might say, “What about human rights?” It is just too bad that animals could not talk because if they can, they would probably say, “Then what about considering animal rights as well?” It might sound funny or awkward yet isn’t there truth in this sarcasm?

I remember reporting all about wildlife depletion in our Biology class. That is when I found out that the estimated number of species that goes extinct everyday ranges from 40 to 100. It is very alarming indeed but only a few knows about this fact, better yet only a few knows what to do and what actions they should take regarding this fact.

Whether you are human or not we have rights, and those rights should remain respected. The only answer to wildlife depletion is wildlife conservation. Nobody could do this but us humans. Let us prove that we are not only the superior organisms in terms of mental and physical capacity but in dealing and protecting the animals as well. We are all connected to each other and so we must protect each other.
