Extinction: shall we help, or is it natural?
On average at very least 10,000 species become extinct every year out of the 100,000,000 different species on earth.

Many different charities work hard every day of the week to help endangered animals. These not for profit companies like WWF (World Wildlife Foundation), Greenpeace, Government's Science Agencies (e.g. CSIRO) and the companies like the Australian conservation foundation spend millions of dollars on saving endanged animals from extinction. In America alone, $1.5 billion USD was spent on procecting endangered species in 2007. Closer to home, the Tasmanian Devil is under severe threat from the TDFTD (facial tumor disease) and thousands to millions of dollars have been spent trying to save it. So what do you think? Should this money be spent trying to save these animals? Or do you think that extinction is a natural process that has occurred since the start of live on earth and should be left alone to fate?
It is proposed that Organizations and governments should stop spending money trying to save animals that are entering the critically endangered phase.
