Zoe - Week 4

Why we should NOT save endangered animals!

It is my strong opinion that we should refrain from saving endangered animals as this could result in catastrophic issue’s not just for mankind but for the entire world.

Firstly may I ask you have we not learnt anything from those before us. Just imagine how different the world would be today if that asteroid two million  years ago had missed, the smallest of actions can result in giant consequences. For those of  you  who don’t know what the butterfly effect is, it is related to newton's third law of physics (every action will result in an equal and opposite reaction), a butterfly flapping its wings can result in a tropical storm half way across the globe. If that asteroid had missed and then the dinosaurs might still roam this earth. The ash that fell from the sky’s all that time ago that caused an ice age which ended allowing the first mammals to evolve. Without that asteroid we wouldn’t be around to  its tail. Time has taught us that without extinction we can’t have evolution in order for other species to thrive  some must in turn become extinct. If we are to attempt to save every endangered species in turn are we prepared to face our potential extinction as a result?

Secondly if we are to continue to save every endangered species in sight how are we going to find funds.  Public donations will only go so far will we be asked to start paying additional tax? In the current day there are many major problems facing society for example: climate change, overpopulation, poverty, hunger, etc. If we  are to evolve as a species we must make a decision on what problems we prioritise.  

Lastly although when you think of endangered species the first ones to come to mind are probably something along the lines of….. Sumatran Tiger, Elephant, Killer Whale,Kiwi you probably don’t consider smaller less  well known creatures such as  the Tahoe Stonefly or the Barberry Carpet Moth. And now that you have, you probably don’t care I mean who would it's a moth and a fly right. Well answer me this if you are happy to donate twenty dollars to the Sumatran Tiger fund but when asked about an endangered moth  of you scoff. Why do you donate money in the first place?


In conclusion now that I have proven my point I wish to finish by reinstating my opinion that we should NOT save endangered animals.
