I keep wondering how long it will be before we really don't have any more wild animals in the wild. They are going fast.

All the large animals in Africa are being killed off by poachers. Lots of our predators are just about gone. They aren't safe in preserves either. The elephants in the preserves in Africa are being killed off by poachers putting cyanide into their drinking holes.

So sad. People can be so awful.

Pretty soon all that we will have left will be in zoo breeding programs.
