Save the Animals

Our fellow creatures 
    are becoming extinct 
Not all of them 
But too damn many 
We humans are 
  destroying the gifts 
which 
have 
been 
   given to us 
And we must change!
  Our fellow creatures 
now need our help 
So scientists, writers and poets 
  must begin to do battle 
before our lands are 
    emptied 
  of our fellow travelers 
on Noah's ark 
Save the animals! 
Let us work at this 
Before ecological night falls

Well said my friend. God first created the world and then divided the land from the water. Then He created the plants then He created the animals. THEN He created Man in His own image.Without the animals WE CANNOT SURVIVE. WE NEED THEM MORE THAN THEY NEED US. In an effort to improve on what God already made perfect we are destroying our own environment and taking the animals with us. A fine write my friend. Write on. God Bless, JB

True, but we will not save humans. That kills me. Save squirrels..YES Save a nine month old? NO. There are no kill shelters Worlwide for the human species. Not one no kill shelter for a newborn, we just extinguish them...poof. Smoldering embers of the Holocaust! We Did not learn Never Again. PR

I remember reading that in the entire world there were like less than 3,000 lions or something like that. It's really scary how many animals are almost extinct. The zoo kind!! We will always be plagued with rats and things like that! hey, did you hook up with the 70 year old. They are getting younger all the time!
