What are people doing that causes animals to go extinct?

Make a difference!

Animals are becoming extinct because people will cut down the forests and they will not take care of the earth, they just ruin it. I am not a part of this horrible creation of a mess. I recycle batteries, cardboard, and lots of other stuff. People should stop taking oil out of the earth; it isn't fair to the earth, because the earth can't put up a fight besides putting the oil way down deep in its crust. I think we should leave and die out, or get to work and fix as much as we have destroyed.

No one or anything should be treated how we have been treating the earth. My favorite animals are elephants and they are endangered because we give them nowhere to live that they can work with. We take their land and we used to kill them for their tusks. It is not right. No one should be killed because they have something someone else wants. No one should be killed because we humans are greedy. Some of us try to protect the elephants and all the endangered species and I am proud of them for helping the earth and not just helping themselves to anything the earth puts on the table for us to share with everything living. Most of us humans need to learn to share the earth and not just leave it there to pick off of until it can't hold are greed and it dies out.

The earth cannot hold us forever soon enough no one will free. There will either be no government and everyone is living on the streets half dead with no one to take care of them because they are either dead or just lost. Or the government controls how much we eat, when we sleep, how long we work, and the government will no longer care if we die out because they have a secret place where everything is perfect and safe or they just won't plain care. People will no longer know the difference between right and wrong no one will care if you commit suicide or just die. People will beg the people with food for some or they will just murder them and take it. No one will be the same, people can change and the world can die out.

We could find a place to live right now and get ready pack up and leave everything with the animals and all the other living things. But, I highly doubt that will happen I bet we will live here for as long as possible. And, when we have destroyed the earth as much as possible, then we pack up and leave. Then we get to the other world and we ruin that place. After that, we just keep going and make a difference. The people that help the earth can either make a difference. Or the world will be one of the things I just said.
