Everyone knows about how the polar bears are getting thin in numbers from global warming. How some species of animals are stopping to reproduce. How Elephants are facing the human populations pushing them out of their homes,and how poachers are hunting them. So here is another one! Say hello and goodbye to giraffes! I'm pretty sad how we are destroying the world and everything in it. Being the strongest and more powerful, I'm sure we will be the ones that will be the last to go!
Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are in the process of a "silent extinction," a conservation group has reported.

I heard that on the radio this morning. The problem is obviously that giraffe meat tastes good.

So this begs the question: will they figure out a way to commercially raise giraffes for meat just as they do for cattle, chickens or pigs? Or will they just keep hunting them to extinction on the wild?

@moffittjc We will probably do the extinction part. It's what us humans do! Just take until it's gone! :)

@Sasquatchy Yeah, that seems to be what us humans are good at.

I can't believe we failed to preserve them after all these years soon we can only share them through books, pics and videos to the next generation.

Did you know we did the same to elephants. Right now we have African and Indian. We actually had several types before but we wiped them out.

I so hate people who cannot respect the animals and kill them. Too terrible.
