The demand which was sparked by the creation of that organization. And second of all, that person said humans are worthless and uninteresting. do you think that of yourself? were not perfect. Not all of us are ignorant to whats going on. But making statements like that is ignorant because not everyone is like that. If she hated humans so much, why she using the stuff that humans create, and eating the food us worthless humans are growing.

Maybe if they started farming elephants the population would go up.. it worked for the american bison.. and cows have never been close to extinction simply because humans farm them
