Welfare and conservation groups are suing the United States Fish and Wildlife Services for failing to issue ESA protections to giraffes. The USFWS was petitioned in 2017 to protect giraffes and did absolutely nothing by the 2018 deadline, prompting conservation & welfare groups to move forward with lawsuits.
Endangered Species Act protections are necessary if we're going to stop the inevitable extinction of giraffes. ESA protections allocate much needed time and resources to protecting giraffes. It would prevent continued trophies from being imported and would curb the illegal import of bones for novelty items. If these protections are not issued and if Africa continues to be negligent in also aiding in the protection of giraffes, they will go extinct. 70, 000 individuals is incredibly frightening and we're almost to the point where it's going to be too late. When it comes to extinction, time is of the essence and we've got to stop taking years and years to determine what our next move is. All of this time wasted is adding more nails in the coffin of giraffes. Humanity is sick. Almost every single recognized and beloved specie sin Africa is facing the possibility of extinction and it is wholly attributed to humans. Trophy hunting is a sickness. To think that we are so entitled and clueless that we're spending tens of thousands of dollars to kill an animal that is in danger of extinction is embarrassing. What do all of these people selling bones or collecting trophies intend to do when we've wiped them all out? This isn't that far fetched you know? Elephants are in peril. Lions are in peril. Giraffes are very clearly in peril. Where doe sit end? When do we realize that our selfishness is going to kill off every other specie son this planet. Shit, we're not doing ourselves any favours in the long run if climate change isn't adequately addressed. We're literally going to kill everything off including ourselves. The USFWS needs to get a move on and issue necessary protections to giraffes. As I said, it's embarrassing that it takes us so very long to do what's needed and right. Giraffes will go extinct, what else is there to discuss? HAPPY VEG
