In centuries past, humans have co-existed with animals in a balance. We have enjoyed their company as pets and also as a source of food i.e game, poultry, cattle, and also used their hides, skin and fur for shoe materials and clothing.
The use of animals for these purposes kept their population stable over the years and kept the balance of nature. But in recent times, specific animals like the elephant, rhinoceros, tigers, bears, foxes and other game animals have been poached(killed illegally for specific parts). For example, the elephants for their ivory tusks and trunk, rhinos for their horns, tigers, foxes and bears for their fur, which is used as a fashion accessory, and other game animals' heads are hung on our walls as trophy. These acts have caused the population of some of these animals to dwindle over the years and has put them in danger of going extinct(endangered them)
Let's imagine the roles were switched.
Imagine animals now kept humans as pets in cages and on leashes, hunted us like game, poached us for body parts, hung out heads as trophy on their walls, use us as lab rats....The list goes on.
Most people would find this funny, it's funny to me but let's just take some time to think about it.
Let's not destroy our planet for love of money, fame and status.
Animals play a vital role in our existence, let's help them help us stay alive.
Stop poaching and unnecessary killing of animals.
Protect endangered animals
Save the planet
