I was just watching the news and they were showing a story about injured rhinos. The Chinese have been cutting off their horns because they think that rhino horns bring good luck. However, the animals have to be put down pretty much straight after because they are stumbling around the place injured and confused.
I’ve never spent that much time thinking about the way that we treat species that are less intelligent or able to defend themselves. But after seeing the footage on TV tonight, I think it has definately opened my eyes.
I feel so sad that as humans we sometimes exploit the fact that we’re the superior race for our own personal gain. 😦
