Scientists suspect that the last time our planet had a
massive “die-off” was when the dinosaur era ended after an asteroid collision.
Today, a quarter of all mammals and 40 percent of all
amphibians are considered endangered. Without question, humans are causing mass
extinctions.
What's especially galling is how rhinos were poached at a record level in South Africa last year. Why? There's an Asian market (hello, Vietnam and China) because superstitious ignoramuses think rhino horns cure cancer and make the manroot hard.
