No, humans did not start animal extinction. Animal extinction has been going on since animals began. Mother Nature started animal extinction.
Humans have not been around since the beginning of animal extinction. The dinosaurs almost all went extinct without human intervention, as did numerous species before and after them.
The human race does not always know what it is collectively doing. Individuals pursue their own objectives, often in a selfish and short-sighted manner, and the consequences are sometimes unfortunate.
Although no question human activities have accelerated extinctions of many creatures, in the broad scope of things, many more have died out naturally than by human causes.
Yes. Most scientist's hypothesize that we are currently living though a mass-extinction. One which will ultimately include the extinction or massive population loss of the human race. According to the Geological Time Scale, we are currently living in the Cenozoic Era. The Cenozoic can be divided roughly into two period's: The Tertiary Period - which is commonly recognised by starting with the extinction of dinosaurs and is otherwise known as the 'Age Of Mammals'. And, The Quaternary Period, which is less known by people because it is ongoing. This is the period which we live in now and scientist's are starting the debate of when to end it and start another period - or maybe even an era or eon. If you take a closer look at the Geological Time Scale, you'll notice that most of the sections have been divided when a mass extinction has occurred.
You can argue global warming or plea that we are in no way part of it - but human's, as much as we don't want to admit it, influence our environments on a huge scale. Sometimes this influence is positive but sadly the majority of these are incredibly negative and impact drastically on the fragile environments and ecosystems in which our fellow members of Earth live in.
Yes, and animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction. In addition to the tremendous habitat destruction caused by clearing forests for animal grazing and to grow feed crops, predators and “competition” species are often hunted because of a perceived threat to industry profits. The use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers in the production of feed crops interferes with the reproductive systems of animals and poisons waterways. The over-exploitation of wild species through commercial fishing and the “bushmeat” trade, along with animal agriculture’s significant contribution to climate change, all contribute to global extinction of more species than any other cause.
Animals are getting extinct because the animals are eating poisionious foods, getting eaten by predators, becoming ill, and being shot or killed, or etc.
Of course. We have already extinct alot of animals example the Sabre-toothed tiger. Most animals like sea-turtles are also going to be extinct soon.
YES
yes
humans
a number of hunting from humans and carnivorous animals
Some will probably get harmed, and eventually will become extinct.
Many people believe hunting should stop because it is considered to be animal abuse. Humans hunting animals, who are innocent and cannot defend themselves is sometimes considered inhumane.
I think it is bad because they might be extinct from humans because humans use coloured fur from animals to make carpets :)
if animals get killed too much then they will become extinct. if they become extinct then they will throw off an entire ecosystem
Because they were killed off by us humans
The type is in Wild animals, But so are humans :P Why- Because if you have kind heart you should. Also, they were made to keep the earth in balance. If bambis(deers :P) Were extinct, The foodchain will go nuts because, Loss of prey = loss of predator. Think Logic?..
because humans are destroying their ecosystems and the animals are eating stuff that has been tainted by our chemicals.
Because if that species then goes extinct, we have an exact specimen of the species
Humans are the answer! humans caused more animals to go extinct than any other animal.
It is many reasons. But the most common reason is humans, who "hunts" animals. Many races in South-America and Africa have been extinct, because humans are burning down the forrest. Many animals are endangered, because humans are greedy.
