Baiji Dolphin: Extinct

submitted by Fedquip

1 decade 7 years 4 months 2 weeks ago

enivro graffiti - Another day, another extinction: after a comprehensive six-week study scientists fear that the rare Chinese Yangtze river dolphins, known as “baijis”, may be extinct. Having failed to find any of the baiji, which were already classified as “critically endangered” by the World Conservation Union’s Red List of Treatened Species, the research team blamed unregulated fishing for the disappearance.

An article on the extinction of the dolphin:
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/0808/breaking41.htm
"It is the first official extinction of a large vertebrate for more than 50 years...The animal is the first cetacean, the group of mammals that includes dolphins, whales and porpoises, to vanish from Earth as a direct result of human influence."

Prolly ate them all, knowing the Chinese.

I'm being 100% serious too.

"Ohhhhh, the quite similar to, humanity!!!"

Tags changed from "china, dolphin, extinction, sad" to "china, dolphin,extinction,sad,inevitable" by gold star member choggie.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I was reading that because they were associated with spiritualism and revered as a river god - Mao encouraged their consumption.

...like munching on tiger balls and deer horns for virility.... don't think the Chinese don't wanna rule the world.....
