Thread Name: Poachers wipe out Mozambique's rhinos
Subject: RE: Poachers wipe out Mozambique's rhinos
Rhino's, elephants, wolves, any number of species of big cats, sharks, pangolins, cetaceans, the great apes, more ecosystems than you can shake a dead Taiwanese Clouded Leopard at, fuck knows how many other species etc etc

We are in the throes of a mass extinction of our megafauna that is driven by greed, ignorance and irrational, blind stupidity. Worldwide there's a truly boggling number of people killing animals that cannot be replaced for any number of reasons. It's truly saddening, all the more so in that countries that should know better still engage in the slaughter of these innocents because of their own utter fuckwittedness.
