President Trump's Administration failing Giraffes

Good ol' President trump of the United States is really setting a record for one of the worst presidents in history in my opinion especially when it comes to animals. His administration is failing to protect animals and in this case, some of the most beautiful and threatened animals on the planet.

Giraffes are quite magical creatures, social with complex relationships among their peers, and astonishingly beautiful features. Laying your eyes upon one of these beautiful animals is quite an experience. Their sheer size alone makes them remarkable to gaze upon along with their unique patterned skin and elongated necks. They're quite amazing mammals. With that being said, they are in grave danger of becoming completely extinct in the wild with less than 100, 000 of them left. Their numbers have dwindled due to habitat loss, hunting, and a sickening desire for their bones, and trophies from hunters. In fact, one giraffe trophy is imported into the United States everyday, shocking isn't it?

Last year, President Trump's administration was proposed an opportunity to protect giraffes under the Endangered Species Act which would help prevent the import and export of their parts, funnel more money into conservation, and essentially keep them from going extinct. Giraffes are currently listed as vulnerable meaning they are on track to be wholly extinct in the wild at this rate. It's a frightening thought, one that you would think any president would want to prevent, not President Trump however.

Now, the Trump administration is being sued by various conservation and animal protection groups for their lackluster response to the proposed protection of giraffes after failing to respond to a 2017 petition calling for their protection. The fact is, it's clear that the Trump administration has absolutely no empathy for the plight of the giraffes or any endangered species for that matter and this lawsuit is evidence that conservation groups are fed up. 

We are in a dangerous situation on this planet as some of the most beautiful creatures on our planet are suffering immensely. Giraffes, leopards, rhinos, elephants etc., these animals face a plethora of dangers to their survival and if things don't drastically change and quickly, we will inevitably see the extinction of these creatures in the wild. Can you imagine a world with no Savannah animals?  A world where we now teach our children, nephews and nieces, and school children, about animals that once roamed the earth, much like the dinosaurs. A planet where we are solely responsible for their demise? What a horrible and frightening future we have before us if we do not speak out and voice our concerns!

I regularly roast the president on twitter and other social media, reminding him of his lackluster performance and lack of empathy for anything and anyone aside from himself. If you feel that you can not take that step, take the time to write or email his administration and voice your disapproval of his track record with animals. The more people that stand up and speak out, the more of a chance that his administration will see that this planet does not belong to them and it is their responsibility to do their part to preserve the other living creatures who are seriously at risk.
