Seahorses Threatened With Extinction

The destruction of coral reefs, trawling and the use of seahorses in Chinese medicine is leading to their decline. How do we stop this near-mythical sea creature from becoming extinct?

@spartanb42clan Because they are an industrialized nation doing what took the US and the rest of the world 200 years to do in less than 50? And its not like the US doesn't have its share of massive environmental catastrophes. DDT? Several bird species including the bald eagle were nearly wiped out due to that. And just look at the recent BP oil spill... many species of endangered birds are threatened because of that.

@isabelle2436 There is no proof in the bible that dinosaurs and humans lived together.

[isabelle2436]

They look like dragons. Job 41 God speaks about an animal described just like a dragon in the water with fire coming out of it's mouth! Another proof that dinosaur did live together with humans and that God does exist and the bible is real. Gloria a Dios.

Another lovely Asian remedy. What is it this time? Long life, bigger sex drive, softer skin ect. Maybe we should start killing off these Asians... cook them, grind them down and sell them off as remedies too=P

I hate china !! I wonder how their small weenies can produce so much trouble.

*I`m not speaking solely about these seahorses but in general.. This is just another aspect.. (I`m sorry if "aspect" is not quite the most proper word for this, but it's just that i`m not an english-speaking man you know.. thanks. :D )

Chinese people do sick things. Stop being retarded. You don't need these in your remedies.

China, Japan that whole region really like wiping our species... Australia is still trying to stop Japan from whaling in our waters. Although we can't complain too much as it was only 50 or so years ago that we were whaling, we took the population of humpbacks down to ~100 when it was banned. We now experience 6 or so thousand traveling up the east coast of Australia every year. Good whale watching industry on the Gold Coast.
