yes it is criminal to cut down whole forests. it is disgusting to be quite honest.

i am ashamed of the human race for destroying such beauty

[phychojuggalo]

this video needs to get alot of views and ratings so it can be seen by the world t let everyone actually know that they always die unkless they can help the animals and they usually cant

Steve Leonard is such a fake douche.

Sorry you've got 4 thumbs down. It's just human vanity at work here. Not many understand the context and the deep sense of helplessness that lies beneath the surface of your statement.

[atrumira]

So true.

It is difficult to face the fact that the human species has every characteristic associated with cancer - on a planetary scale. We multiply out of control, just like cancer & we are slowly killing our host, this planet, just like cancer kills the body.

That poor Orangutan.

Hope you can upload some more of "Orangutan Diary". We think the Beeb really gave us a quality series here.

LOL but really, it may look creepy, but it helps out more than youd belive

[athriaxo]

Yeah but cant we just genetically engineer something cute and fuzzy with long ears ... something like a rabbit ... to eat insects instead and then kill all spiders? I think we could and should ... we owe it to the future of mankind to be spider free xD

[thetroggs]

mosquitoes no, spiders yes, I can tell from your comment that you are both anoyed of mosquitoes and probably scared of spiders. Mosquitos are a promblem who dont do anything for the enviroment, spiders as much as you probably dont like them, kill the problems with the enviroment, and us. IE rats mosquitoes, bugs etc. No need to kill off a race if they do useful things no matter how much you hate them. An dif the spiders did not kill the bugs they do, the world would be overrun by bugs.
