Baby Gorilla Rescue

This tiny sweet little gorilla is very lucky! He was found by under cover park rangers and saved. The rangers were undercover when poachers tried to sell this cute little guy to them. The poachers were arrested. I was shocked to find out that this cute little guy is worth $40, 000 US. I think that the poachers definately got what they deserve. I find the killing of animals for sport and to sell, for reasons that the poachers do, is despicable. This cute little gorilla baby was torn away from his family and his mom and thrown into a world that he wasn't meant to grow up in.

This isn't the only reason why we should care about this issue. There are many different species that are either endangered or already extinct. For those of you who did not realize this, animals that are extinct CANNOT come back! This is not Jurassic Park. That was a movie and not real life. If we don't protect these species, then they won't be around for the generations who come after us to enjoy. These animals were placed here for a reason and we are destroying them by exploiting them for money. If poaching doesn't stop, we are going to lose something great.
