5 Animals That Are Being Eaten To Extinction

[@fringes475]

The problem with pangolin is, when they're in danger, they ball up which only make them easier to catch. I grew up seeing pangolins but eventually they disappeared throughout the years. Our grandfather would use pangolins to get rid of termites/ants under his home.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Too sad. Such a unique animal and very useful. Like you mention, way too easy for humans to grab when they are in defense mode. People suck.

IKR if velociraptors still existed people would probably hunt them because they are “dangerous” and “evil monsters” when in reality they are attacking because of OUR idiotic behaviour Btw in that humans wouldn’t exist if dinosaurs didn’t die but this is just the velociraptors so I’d recon humans would evolve

Traditional chinese medicine honestly frustrates me so much. It is so clearly shown by science that is has no effect, but the rest of the world still has to suffer for a stupid tradition. Pandas are safe though

[@theimmortaleye7511]

Pandas are to be honest almost wanting to go extinct ...and honestly would be better as they suffocate other animal conservation. Pandas swallow millions each year while certain insects and other uglier animals would take less than a few hundred dollars to save ...but theire not marketable

[@theimmortaleye7511]

@@marvalice3455 my problem is more on how expensive their conservation and upkeep in captivity is ,while certain unappealing species can be bred and Housed in plastic boxes yet still go extinct since noone really cares for.them. but still agree with your point there

[@Inksanity]

That's the one Chinese species I _WANT_ to go extinct. We waste so many resources on an animal that is doomed to go extinct due to its own biological flaws instead of the thousands being endangered by humans.

[@blackbeard2.0]

@@Inksanity yeah I agree their main food source has a tendency to disappear in thin air and we have to help them breed, like I don't even think them as a species don't want to survive. But the point is pandas do contribute in survival of other species their face is used as symbol cause majority of people think they are cute. So yeah don't think they should extinct but a little more funds could be diverted from them to organisms like the fresh water clam.

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

Saving endangered species is such a monumentally complex endeavor… It’s a process that requires the coordination and cooperation of nearly every person and community on earth. In addition to the education of nearly every population on earth, that covers a whole variety of topics that are endemic to the success of mass sustainability. Everything from economics, conservation, city/town infrastructure, sanitation, responsible hunting/fishing/resource management, health, nutrition…and most importantly, the very, VERY difficult (and sensitive) task of trying to change centuries (even millennia) of deeply rooted traditional medicine, cultural practice and religious ceremonies. It’s easy to point the finger and say *”those jerks should just hunt less and use less plastic!”* While yes, that’s absolutely true (to a degree) in most cases-and I wish it was as simple and superficial of a solution as that…. Sadly, it is SO much bigger and more complicated of a problem than just trash and responsible hunting. 🥺😞

if these giant salamanders go extinct then i will be sad af. they are such incredible animals that are living dino axolotls. same with all the others

I agree with you about what you're saying but, China has deep pockets with respect to wealth and go to great lengths to procur their "traditional medicines". The same with all these third world countries they are being driven by the same economic forces that drive us here the US. Telling them to stop is like telling them not to breath, it just crazy for of us eventually because the US and the rest of the world depend on these places for valuable resources. You're right again about poachers they do deserve the death penalty on endangered species of any variety, whether amphibian, mammal, avian or insect extinction is forever.
