Define Wild Animals

I see wild animals all the time as the news is always about the wildest ones. Humans are wild animals, not a favoured creation. Humans are the wild animals, because they are the only ones to deliberately destroy their environment. Humans are the only species, as far as we know, who have evolved beyond the point of stability, both environmental and psychological. The most powerful don’t care about anyone else apart from themselves or anything else apart from the hoarding of more wealth than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes. The least powerful vote in those who promise to inflict as much damage as possible on the world as long as they say that they hate the other side.

The so called wild animals, a phrase that belongs in the 19th century along with savages, are actually far kinder and far less damaging than we are. Lions, Tigers and Leopards kill for food and only kill humans because humans have moved into their territory. Humans kill these magnificent creatures because they are selfish, vain and money hungry. A poacher is far more of a wild animal than the rhinoceros or elephant they are hunting. All they will do is bring down the animal, cut off their ivory and leave them to die in agony. How can you think of that and not see who the true wild animals are?

All other animal species contribute to their environment whereas human beings damage theirs. Sooner or later we will become extinct and the planet will recover without us.
