Abby - Week 4

Endangered animals should not be saved because there are so many animals in our world already. We have an estimated number of 1,203,375 animals in our world today, including corals, fish, insects, etc. Some animals are very big and intelligent, there has been theories that certain animals could take over the world if they wanted too such as the Cape Buffalo, Brazilian Wandering Spider, and the Brown Tree Snake. They have been proved to be so popular, that if they wanted to they COULD just take over the world. A lot of animals also appear in households, which can be dangerous for little children, but still can be harmful for adults as well.

Some endangered animals have been particularly risky as well, haven’t we forgotten our long lost dinosaur friends? They were way more ferocious and larger than most of the animals living on our earth today! We should be lucky that they don’t exist. A group of animals have been responsible for the deaths of 725,000 people a year, that is the trusty Mosquito. It’s such a tiny animal yet causes so much damage to the human race, along with the average sized snake killing 50k humans a year.

There are some animals who are also pretty much pointless in the world, like the sloth; this creature does nothing but sleep, and they only move when necessary. But when sloths do move they move 4 metres in the trees per minute, and 2 metres on the ground per minute. If these animals were to become extinct, nothing would really change. And we all can’t forget the oh so lovely fly. They are pestering creatures that fly around you and make weird noises, poop on your walls, sit on your food, and just annoying the crap out of you. Unfortunately, these animals have the huge population of 17 quadrillion! They all good-for-nothings. So if they were also to become extinct, the world would probably be a better place.

This is why I believe endangered animals should not be saved, we have so many animals already, some animals are very harmful to humans, and some are just completely pointless.
