It's perhaps the singular revenge they can enact upon us. Inadvertently and unintended as it is. The diseases that afflict them, that can also infect us, may be these poor animals saving grace. The only thing that can discourage people from these practices.

I was with you up to the "these people are the intellectual infancy of our species" part. The thing is, you have to feel some empathy for the situation these poachers, smugglers, and traders find themselves in. They may be ignorant and naive, but at the end of the day, they are just trying to make a living. Some have to suppress their feelings of guilt so that their family can eat. Furthermore, it's supply and demand. As long as there are customers, these people will continue their trade.

Btw white tigers ARE NOT an endangered spieces they're a extremely inbred hybrid between bengals and siberian/amur tigers white tigers are just a lusistic tiger they're not their own spieces one has not been seen in the wild in many decades the last one seen is actually related to every white tiger alive in captivity today.

@casperhanas770 10 жыл бұрын

Jared .M That is very true and I wholeheartedly agree with you. The only problem is that more people need to realize this and come to the fact that we need to stop with this destruction. An example is palm oil fields in Malaysia where almost 3/4 of all orangutans have been wiped out due to the destruction of their homes (the forest), and all of that so that a country could have a little bit more energy?? It drives me crazy what humans have become!

He's an amazing photographer. His photos are beautiful. I helped at a zoo for the day when I did job shadowing. I can tell you the Mesker Park Zoo here in Evansville is legit. They focus on trying to breed the animals along with giving the animals the best care they can to help the animal species to not go extinct. I also helped to prepare the animal diets for them. The animals there eat amazing. I've met all kinds of animals. We even have a rhino who paints pictures on a canvas. I went there twice to job shadow. Some of the most fun I've ever had.
