Helpless Animals

  As we known being human comes along with many struggles. These struggles can be big or small. But have we ever taken the time to realize the struggles of the animals that we share our great planet with. These animals are struggling from something that is completely preventable and should be stopped as soon as possible.

  I understand that some animals are killed because humans need meat or that they are killed and sold for food. What I do not understand and completely disagree with is when animals are killed for their parts. There are many different species of animals, all of them are unique. Some have shells, some have horns, and some have warm fur. To some people these "parts" are very desirable.

  The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species cracked down on one of these cases. Their goal is to slow down the murder and trafficing of endangered species. Rhinos and Elephants from Africa were murdered by humans just for their ivory horn. Both of those animals are very large animals and all the savages wanted was its horn. To me this seems rediculous. The CITE managed to raised the population of rhinos from 2,000 to 19,000.

  Obviously there is a struggle here. And tipically when there is a struggle the person/thing struggling is able to deffend themselves. However these poor animals are helpless and can not defend themselves. They need help from real people, laws need to be made to stop the murder and trafficing. The sad thing too is that once these endangered animals are gone there is no comming back, and I believe that many people dont look at the situation that way.
