Extinct Dolphin
Its really a sad day. Given the level of technology and advancements we have, we should have been able to protect this animal. However, the truth is we can't. The people cannot be bothered. They just cared about making the most money out of the river. River of life??? I bet its going to become river of death in the near future.
I just cannot imagine a giant vertebrate like this can become extinct without anybody knowing. This is ridiculous. 30, 40 years ago, the river had been teaming with these creatures, and now you don't see any. Isn't that an obvious enough hint that they have gone missing?
I remembered blogging last year about future generations having to look at pictures of tigers because they go extinct. Something similar has happened. I did not expect it to come so early. However, I believe this marks only the start of a series of extinction. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The phenomenal growth of China has brought about serious pollution to the environment, which destroys the habitat of many creatures. Increasing affluence also increases the demand for animals valued for their "medicinal properties". Increase in demand for animals will help the illegal poaching and animal trading trade to flourish. If this continues, expect more of these news to appear.
There's nothing I could do.
Man are selfish creatures.
