Lest you forget that wild animals are being poached for their tusks, fur, eggs, horns, for longevity, for enchanced sexual libidos, and who knows what else.
Lest you forget that black is indeed black and not by any other name; and poaching (or illegal hunting, fishing, harvesting) should be outlawed and not only during the "closed season".
Lest you forget that humans are created beings (or evolved creature if you like) and having developed senses and thought doesn't entitle us the rights to dictate the life of all living creatures. What's the use of having the ability to think when it gives rise to selfishness, cruelty, or malicious intents? Has the world got better ?
Enjoy the ingenuity of our race. Lo and behold...

Good day!
that's what we call HUMAN. the older they get, the greedier they become.
ReplyDeletei was in botswana a few years ago, especially in the towns of maun and kasane for holidays.
the mwowana resorts, which was by the zambezi river was one of the most beautiful places i have been.
however, the first day i woke up and looked outside the windom, really shocked me. some locals were skinning a few crocs for money.
i dunno about other animals but i believe some do that for a living. pity!
i do like your blog
Gosh! You sure have seen things! *kowtow* I've got to go to Africa at least once.
ReplyDeleteSeeing things for ourself is different from reading it from secondary sources.
Good day!
