The report calls on governments around the world to take serious action against mass extinction. Otherwise, our closest relatives in nature will soon be gone.

I am devastated………is there no limitation to human cruelty? I am ashamed of my fellow humans.
I couldn’t agree more Irma! Humans are the most dangerous predator on this planet:o( So much sad and horrible things they do to our beloved animals on this earth. What animals will there be left after 50 years…..
Makes me so sad!!! And angry!!!
Inhumans as I call them are the worst species on the planet and it is such a shame. I don’t know what it takes for people to realize their wrong doings and where compassion went.It makes me so sick to see this inhumane cruel acts against our animal friends. We are a vegetarian animal anyway,and poverty,wars,or nothing else cannot justify these cruel actions.Something must be done at the international level if not these beautifu animals will be banished from the planet.There is a huge Holocaust of animals being abused,killed,and tortured around the world.Some of the worst countries are China,Korea,and some of the African countries.Let’s stop this Nazi movement on Earth once and for all!!
