WHY?

    Species all over our dying planet are going extinct as a direct result of man.  As man-kind expands, so does the number of species he kills off.  Over 3 species an hour go extinct!!!
    Do you have an incurable disease?  Well some of these plants and animals could be the cure for that disease!  But WE MAY NEVER KNOW.  We are killing off species we haven't even discovered yet!  And once a species is gone, there is NO TURNING BACK!  None of this cloning stuff! Once it's gone, it's gone.
    And you may be saying, "So what?  They're just a bunch of stupid animals!"  But they're not.  Everything is connected in nature in a sort of pyramid.  If man starts removing the lower blocks of the pyramid (i.e.. killing off species), the pyramid will still be supported by the other blocks.  But if too many blocks are removed;  the pyramid crumbles.  And it doesn't matter where you are in the pyramid, once it collapses, it will take you with it.
    So be a friend to nature and help it out.  (After all, there are only about ten million supporting "blocks" left)  And remember......3 species every hour go extinct..........(91.3 years)
