sometimes i wonder why i bother reading the news. i wake up optimistic and end up going to bed in sorrow. although, human life is more important, i spent lots of time thinking about all the wildlife that will be killed directly or indirectly by the fires in australia.
it's not enough that the koala is endangered because of development...
now what's left of them is being wiped out by the fires. and to think idle/bored human hands struck the match...
sometimes i think we don't deserve the beauty of nature. we take such poor care of her. i can appreciate predators killing prey, that's just the way life is. but when animals and plants get wiped out for a new mc'donalds or because some teen was bored, well, i just don't get it...
what the hell is it going to take to make people realize that many species are on their way to extinction? in the end, we touch that lit match to ourselves...
