Gone

I read today that the  Western Black Rhino is now extinct http://www.11alive.com/news/article/312002/40/Western-black-rhino-officially-declared-extinct

If this is definite then the world we live in is a much sadder place. Poaching and lack of conservation are directly attributed. There's no excuse - in this modern day and age we let a majestic animal cease to exist. Scientist are now saying that other species of rhinos may soon follow - several are making their last stand right now. There should be no market for a rhino anything other than a photo. No animal should be treated as a commodity (including the human animal) This is not about being a vegan, or hunting or any issue other than the protection of earths precious creatures and resources. It's almost too late for many plants and animals. It is to late for the Western Black Rhino.

Peace (please)
