It's a criminal act of destruction. Palm Oil for cheap beauty products and unnecessary additives for foodstuffs.

Its called "illegal deforestation" because we now know from mistake made in other countries! Be it now or well into the past! We cannot undo the past so we have to move forward with better decisions. If that isn't being done in a positive matter and it is altering the WORLD, then it becomes EVERYONE'S BUSINESS! Color doesn't have anything to do with stupid choices!

IT IS NOT JUST HERE!: The naturalist economist from Zurich, Switzerland, August Pfluger, the expedition's organizer, announced: "We have to accept the fact that the Baiji is functionally extinct. It is a tragedy, a loss not only for China, but for the entire world." The only other marine mammal to become extinct in the last century was the Caribbean Monk Seal, believed to have been killed off by hunting and overfishing in the 1950's. "We will never learn" Painful and wrong we are...so wrong.

@LVSinger Been this way along time...under natural conditions our herd would have been thinned out along time ago...yup, we are stupid cause we want to control that to. Jesse Ventura "Conspiracy Therapy" does a 9 part show (youtube) about how the elite in this world have been buying up old missile silos to live through the 2012 Mayan calender predictions. These decision makers just won't quit or give up on themselves...they will all be good for their souls, may someone have pity on them...

@xTwistedxSisterx I feed animals every day and nothing goes to waste in our home. I went to a Banquet last night and explained I will be happy to take any food left over, as I would lay it out in a few spots for wildlife to chow down, they always do. I have been in the Newspaper for my efforts in feeding wild birds with bakery breads that would otherwise be thrown out, hundreds of incredible birds that surround me at my feet and in the air. YOU do what you can do! You will be thanked.

@hardhitter0421 Not if we destroy Nature before we all perish, and think of all the life we killed, we can never bring them back. They died for nothing.

Eschatology aside, the 'Four Horsemen"; Overpopulation, War, Famine, and Death, are galloping towards their inevitable finale'. Malthus must be smugly grinning from his grave?

However, the quintessential problem was long ago described by Agnes Repplier; "it is NOT DEPRAVITY which afflicts the human species so much as a GENERAL LACK OF INTELLIGENCE".

@LVSinger Hang on just a bit and watch the show...it will be spectacular finish, I assure you, unlike anything you could ever imagine. It may not be nice, but it will be real...humans got an ass kicking coming and what a can of whop-ass it will be. If your thinking about leaving, you might as well stick around and watch the stupidity get an education...it is right around the corner,just a thought...thanks.
