One of the most dangerous factors contributing to the endangerment of exotic wildlife today is the poaching, slaughtering and collection of animal parts, for use in traditional medicine. Tigers, rhinoceroses, sharks, whales, dolphins, leopards, turtles, elephants, bears, snakes, the list goes on, are all exploited ruthlessly by Asian markets because of the high need of “medicines” that hardly work. “ The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) believes that at least one tiger is killed daily for its use in traditional Chinese medicine.” There are about five to seven thousand tigers left in the wild and look who we should blame if they disappear. But hey what will they slaughter in their stead? Animals in high abundance are already the new target for these Asian maniacs who believe eating a turtle will increase your life expectancy and that deer and bird parts will increase you sex performance and basically just compensate for what they lack. So while these idiots are trying to enlarge their penises animals are dying out at a rate too fast for the environment to compensate for. Rhinos and elephants are brutally robbed of their horns while still alive and are left to die of infection in the wild from their open wounds and all the while you bastards are treating your acne and headaches. Watch this clip [] and tell me this isn’t one of the most evil things you’ve laid your eyes upon.

Tigers, bears and other creatures are grown up in farms only to be killed for small parts of their body. [] In this link it is described how black bears have their bile extracted in Chinese farms, while they are living, which is a painful process often resulting in death. We don’t often notice but beautiful animals are being destroyed all over the world at astounding rates for wealth and greed. “Sharks **have survived over 450.000.000 years ** and within the **last 100 years **, humans have **killed almost 90% of the entire shark population **. Over 50% of the Oceanic species of shark is being threatened with extinction.” Just another example of the affects of Asian poaching.” When a predator like this is killed at such a high rate the ecosystem is imbalanced, but these human wastes of life don’t even bother thinking about this.

Someday I want to work to save these endangered animals whether through making it my actual job, or donating by other means, but somehow I want to protect what makes our planet (a planet unlike any other we know of) beautiful by stopping the trash of this world from spoiling it. I’m sorry to say but the majority of these murderers are of Asia, and I don’t know what cruel and twisted systems they are a part of but if it can allow the gratuitous killing of rare animals for the sake of useless remedies than it is no system that I want to be part of other than participating in its dissolution. Open your eyes and realize that your medicinal purposes for slaying innocent creatures are overrated and ancient hoodoo and try taking a freaking Advil. A question, would it be a national crisis if animals overnight gained the capacity to organize and start poaching the Asian people that participate in the hunting of them? I’ll answer, yes, and I wish that this was to occur because these people are evil and downright foolish, senseless and daft. Im not afraid to say that I hate them and wish them the worst that life has to offer. Live long and prosper you idiots.

Rant complete.
