Comments
Faye: Most of them are getting to near extinction because of the demand in palm oil, trophy & canned hunting Etc ...
unarosa: There should be more articles like yours to open the eyes!
Acid: This is something really worth mentioning. Not simply informative. Its an eye opener...
glq: I agree Acid! People need to be aware 1 animal on the list is 1 too many!
Sheri: This is sad 💓
Balletstar13: Wow nice pictures
Rachna: This happens partly cos we eat meat. Watch 'Cowspiracy' and decide your role in nature. To take or give.
MissFizz: It's a good article but it'd be great if you added in some information about the animals
