Our Relationship with Our Planet / Animals is Frightening

North Atlantic Right Whales are on headed towards an inevitable path of extinction. The main contributing factor? Boats who can't be bothered to adhere to slow zones in whale habitat, continuing to cause injury / death to whales through collisions. We're literally going to wipe these creatures off of the planet forever and all because we're too ignorant and entitled to simply slow down?

I typed up a post on why I believe in some cases, it's too late to save some of the many species on our planet that face extinction. Humanity is shameful. We don't seem to have a wink of empathy or compassion towards our planet or the animal kingdom. Giraffes are endangered; people still out there paying tens of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to shoot and kill them for fun. Whales are going extinct and it's as simple as slowing the hell down in their habitat but we can't even mange to do that?

Our entitlement and lack of empathy towards anything but ourselves is horrifying. Every day, a new species of plant, tree, animal, bird, or underwater species, is reported as being Endangered. Almost all of them are facing extinction as a direct result of humans and our actions. We're destroying everything around us why do only a small, fraction of people on this planet care?
