		<description>We need to keep animals alive. How would you like it if your kids learn about an animal that became extint the years you were alive? What are you going to tell them? Are you going to lie to them? Well we need to keep all animals alive. Or else our kids will feel like we did nothing to help these animals. Your kid will ask you, &#039;&#039;Why didn&#039;t you save them?&#039;&#039; What will you say then?

I am a 6th grader and I belive that no matter how old you are we can still make an effort to save the wildlife and let this world live with happiness with animals living wild and free. For our kids sake, Lets take a stand for these endangered animals</description>

		<description>I feel so sorry for the animals on the red list. I myself have an addicting attachment to the Giant Panda! Everything gets extinct anyway. Humph. I agree with Shelby here! Because of us all the animals are dieing. We take over their homes. We deforest places. We kill them for fun and furs. I mean, if your starving or dieng or have no money for food, sure, but if you want to kill them for the fun of it then you truly are an idiot. How would you guys like it if dogs or your pet were extinct, hm? THEN you would feel bad, right? One day we will all die and become extinct. But for now we have to take into htought the feelings of the animals. By the way, this is coming from a 13 year old. See, even kids care. We may not show it, but we do.If we kill them and they die...well..then WE DESERVE TO DIE TOO!!! *pwned*</description>

		<description>&quot;The animals we eat&quot; are far more a burden than a necessity, to humans AND the environment. Animal products are linked to all kinds of diseases and cancers. The environmental cost of raising a single cow is worse than that of driving an SUV from Florida to Alaska and back. The problem is that most people don&#039;t bother to question the Dairy and Beef Council propaganda they are fed since birth. Those councils are out for profit, not your health, and certainly not for the environment.

It pains me to see someone mention saving the planet and humans in the same paragraph along with the importance of animals as food, when that sentiment is the very root of both our ecological and health crises.</description>

		<description>EVERY species is endangered.  All civilization must be ended. 

&quot;The giant flying vampire toad (actually a species of frog, &lt;I&gt;Hylidae&lt;/I&gt; -- and the only toothed frog at that) preys only on golfers. It weighs about 20 pounds and has been reduced to nesting in one copse of trees at one hole of the Valhalla Golf Club in Florida, waiting for golfers to pass underneath. It glides down on a slimy, leathery membrane stretched between its legs, fastens its two hollow teeth into the golfer&#039;s neck, and sucks his blood. Golfers avoid golf where the toad lives, so the Federal government declared the toad an endangered species and ordered Florida to select golfers at random to feed the vampires. Florida sued, and the Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Endangered Species Act was not intended to protect species that deserved to be extinct. Last I heard, the Supreme Court had ordered that the case be re-heard in another Circuit where the judges did not play golf in Florida.&quot;
