What animals are in dangered because of humans?

Answer 1

I can tell you right now: A LOT! Humans are the reason for about 97% of animal decreasing populations and extinctions. The list can go on forever of how many animals humans are hurting each and every day, because of hunting, pollution, and destruction of habitat. For example, polar bears are in severe danger right now. Because of the melting ice caps in Alaska, polar bears can no longer fish safely. Some are starving to death and unable to get out of the water because of cracking ice. You may be asking yourself what humans have to do with this. The greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide is getting trapped in the atmosphere, creates the warming of Earth. This is happening because humans drive around big gas guzzling SUVs and trucks, which emit harmful gases. If everyone drove smaller cars, rode bikes or walked to places close enough, and recycled all the time; the greenhouse effect wouldn't be such an issue. Some may say that this is all baloney and nothing bad is happening to our Earth. But then why, may I ask, are the icecaps melting? Why is the Sun getting more intense?

Another example: Digging for oil in the ocean. Just recently, the biggest oil spill in the history of man kind took place. Why? Human accident. We are all so selfish and just needed that oil for our gas guzzling machines. But only few care how the animals are feeling about all of this. If oil gets on an animal's fur, it won't wash off in the water. The animal cannot carry out the jobs needed for survival if oil coats its body. This leads to many endangered animals and sea life, also due to humans.

Hunting is also a major thing. Years ago, humans were allowed to hunt elephants for their ivory tusks. Ivory tusks were worth a lot, so many people hunted for these elephants. Over time, though, so many elephants were being hunted, they became endangered. Unsympathetic humans, as greedy as could be, didn't care. They wanted the money. Because humans could not limit their amounts hunted, hunting these poor defenseless elephants became, fortunately, outlawed. Sara Palin, governor of Alaska, now allows hunting there, which is crazy because the animals are already endangered. When are people ever going to learn how to stop their selfish ways?

Hope this helps!
