Last Male Rhino Dies

This is heartbreakingly sad and made me cry.
This is due to poachers and deforestation.
Mankind is responsible for this and will be responsible for much more wildlife to disappear from earth.

Re: Last Male Rhino Dies

Aye, a bloody shame. All down to human interference of course. At a pinch, I suppose they could try breeding from the Sumatran female rhinos that are left and another breed of male rhino?

Yes, it is Mags.
Many, many species are either going, or have already gone, right from insects to large animals.

They reckon in less than 100 years Elephants will be gone, along with Polar bears, Giant Pandas, Tigers, Chimpanzees, Orangutans and many more wild creatures.
Their food supply and habitat will be long gone.

Our Grand children's children will never have the chance to see the things we have seen and marvelled at.
So, so sad.

Natonal Geographic say
: " It’s possible that species extinction is happening a thousand times more quickly because of humans."

Too many humans to feed and house, yet still we are breeding like rabbits.

Re: Last Male Rhino Dies

Signs are that this old planet is either approaching or has
passed the the natural tipping point, where the laws of
Physics take over and drastic changes are triggered with
unforseeable consequences in store for our planet!
The poor old rhino is just one of those signs!
I also had tears in my eyes when l saw the news about
the Sumatra rhino,!
Our childrens lives are going to be so much poorer than
ours despite all the so called benifits of of so called
technology!
The only answer if it is not allready too late is population
control, but thre is little sign of this happening yet!
I find it frustrating that so many people cannot or will not
concede that they are the crux of the problem?

Best Regards Donkeyman!

I would'nt want.. to be on the other end of one of the horns
if a rhino was feeling grumpy?
Perhaps they were born in captivity and used to human
Company?
However thanks for putting the video up, l enjoyed watching
it!
