Have you ever bought fur or any kind of articles,artifacts related to animals,their shelters or anyting related to them>If yes,then you have to rethink about this.Following facts may just open up your eyes.


 

1::Guajon: The Frog::Also known as "Cook's Robber Frog" or "Demon of Puerto Rico". The guajon are small cave dwelling frogs. They are endangered for many of the normal reasons like habitat encroachment, introduced species eating them and the most weird being people killing them out of sheer terror. This is unbelievable that because of fright-feeling people get after seeing it they kill them and virtually this has led to extinction of this species.


 

2::Tree Snail::also known as The Manus Island Tree Snail are just on the verge of extinction thanks to its unique shell which kust look like an jewellery item.Because of this they are been killed for their shells and are used in jewellery and as earings.Now, I dont understand what the hell on the earth do we need or we have a right to cull that tiny creature inspite of abundance of gold,silver,diamonds etc.

 


3::Elfin Tree Fern::Elfin tree fern gained popularity as a house plant due to home improvement shows suggesting sticking them in a pot in the corner. The problem is the  trees take 40 years to get to a decent size, so it was easier to go out into the wild and dig them up than to try and grow them at the risk of them losing popularity in the intervening four decades.People have been using the bark of these trees to carve out tiki statues for idiot tourists. And sometimes they make plates out of the wood, which they sell to idiot tourists.Now what can you say about this

 


4::The Asian Rhinoceros::Rhino horns are used in traditional Chinese medicine.It is pretty much the basis for westerner's views on the subject.It is also believed that it has got other medicinal properties also.So you can expect the onslaught of the pharma companies for its valuable horns.This freaks me out just because you cannot invent new ways of producing medicines,just slaughter the animals.What a poor thinking!

 


5::Mountain Gorillas::Now you are wise enough to guess the reasons why are they becoming extinct.No need for explanation.I can say circus ,movies,experiments etc are enough to describe it.


Tthus, I would say that please contribute in saving wildlife in any possible way you can.It will do us favours too directly or indirectly.
