Once more I had to see the extremes of humans cruelty towards animals, seems estrange but every time that I turn on the TV and scroll down the list of programs, there is always one that talks about, criminal killing, poaching, hunting, etc. Our society seems to be numb already to all of these programs, because as far as I know nobody is doing anything. I just wanted to take the opportunity to post the letter that I wrote to the editor of National Geographic Magazine about the indiscriminate killing of elephants in Africa, this was an English assignment only, but I did actually send the letter to them, and I hope that the editor picks mine and my letter gets publish, if not I am sure that lots of people believe that these criminal activities are wrong, and they must be stop. Here is my letter:
Thank you for writing about the importance and direct effects of indiscriminate animal killing. Illegal poaching has become the biggest threat to a variety of animal species. I personally consider myself to be an animal lover, and after reading your article, I found myself in a situation where I don’t understand the human nature anymore. There is so many animal protection organizations around the world, that are constantly warning people about the terrible consequences of illegal poaching and specially the serious risk of extinction on most of the affected animals. Elephants have been chased for many years because of their tusks, and it is sad to see that many of these magnificent animals get killed just for few dollars. The constant and almost criminal hunts for these animals, are not only putting them on the path of extinction, but also are affecting the whole ecosystem that lives and survives around them. How many more articles need to be written, or how many more of these animals need to die, in order for governments, organizations, and more importantly people to realize that if nothing is done to stop this criminal activity, not only these beautiful animals will disappear, but also many other species too. Maybe then, humans will stop their constant and infinite race towards eliminating every single animal species over the face of the world; perhaps then people will realize how much damage we had made to our planet. I just hope that it won be too late. Thank you for speaking up for them.
