Shame on the killers of lions, rhinos, elephants and other rare animals.
Care for our relatives, animals, and especially the rare species, is directly linked with care for the environment, the earth, our biotope, including climate change. It means being aware of the interdependence of all living beings, including humans. It means love of nature in its full splendor, beyond our self-interest.
The problem of ‘defaunation’ is much bigger, and more (mainly human) factors are playing a role in the extinction of species. Nevertheless, the protection of rare animals like lions, rhinos and whales is important as a focus: a spearhead for action.
The situation is alarming. Hopefully an ecological register will be helpful in order to create other and new ways of thinking about ourselves and other animals, as a continuum, as a family, - you do not kill relatives, do you? (or it is a crime.) In the age of internet this might be a powerful tool, to remind us our responsibility. So let’s create the appropriate answer to immoral acts.
Only reports and stories about human misconduct do not work, if they will not hurt the wrongdoers. Maybe they will have more effect, if combined with an ecological ‘naming-and-shaming’ register, globally available and forever.
Don't let it happen unnoticed!
