Its kind of weird knowing that a quarter of the worlds mammals are in danger of being perminately off of the Earth. I always thought that it was just 1 or 2 more animals are going more and more, but not a quarter. I quess it has to do with us cutting down the rainforest and all of the Ozone and stuff. Also the hunting of big game.
I feel angry that we've done that much to the envirnment to endanger a quarter of our mammals. It also is kind of a good thing because maybe now that it's getting worse, the people that did nothing before will start trying to help the envirnment more and save the planet. When you just hear about a few species, you odn't hink much of it, but 1/4 is a lot. I'm also sad that we could lose that much life just because of how we've treated our surroundings.
It kind of scares me and makes me feel bad because if you think about it, it is pretty much your fault that this is happening. It kind of makes you think about what you're doing and then you will maybe not litter because you want to save the animals. It makes me feel bad that it is us humans that are doing that to the mammals. It's really sad. :(
It makes me feel mad and sad. It makes me sad because 25% is a lot of aniamls. It makes me mad because people are a factor. We are taking their homes away form them, and global warming isn't helping them at all either. We need to get people to realize what they are doing to these animals so they stop taking the animals habitat away.
I think it is kind of scary think ing about how that many animals are at risk of dieing. I feel that people could maybe help that risk by not cutting down so many trees in rainforests and creating better habitats for the animals that are in risk. So i think is a little to high number of animals because 25% is a big number of animals.
It is an unexpected fact because we take all of the animals we know for granted. We never really stop to think about what result our actions will have on the mammals around us.
Its kinda scary. It makes you mad that we did stuff that can kill animals. ANd it kinda makes you sad that we could possibly use 25% of our animals. That is alot of animals that are in danger.
It is wierd to think that 25% of the animals are on the verge of being extinct. I didnt think that it was that many. It is interesting.
I feel it is a problem but I have a feeling this assessment was manipulated in some way to make the problem appear bigger than it is. I think we should continue to practice conservation but we should not let it interfer with the health and well-being of people. I hate PETA!
I feel sad. It is really depressing. We must act now so will stil have them in the future.
I say tough luck. Everyone dies, why do animals have to be any different. If it were up to me i'd kill 'em all. Why do we have to protect 'em at all? I bet some of 'em taste really good but we'll never know. Penguins and polar bears could taste better than chicken and steak but am i gonna find out? Yes...but is the rest of the world? probably not.
Knowing 25% of the worlds mammals are in danger is kind of weird and in a way scary. This is basically our fault why they are in danger. I think we need to figure out how to make the number not go any higher.
It is very sad to know about this. We do a lot to keep our environment safe and away from harm. We obviously need to try alittl harder.
If 25% of the world's mammals are at risk then we would not have as many house animals such as dogs or rabbits. We would also lose a lot of animals to hunt that everyone hunts. We make some foods from certain mammals too such as deer we use them sometimes to make beef jerky.
I didn't know that it was 25% of animals. I thought it was a lower percentage. If you think about it, that's a lot of animals at risk. It makes me feel sad because I think that humans are most of the reason why they are becoming extinct or at the risk of becoming extinct.
I am scared. What if dogs go extinct? Then i wouldnt have a pet. It would not be good for something to go extinct that i have never seen cause i want to at least see it first. That would not be good.

I think that is very sad that our animals are dying. I think that people should have to stop hunting because that is mainly what is killing the animals. And if someone doesn't stop then it will only get worse.
I think we should really start to try to prevent their extinction. We should stop poaching animals and polluting the earth. I think its a awful lot of animals for extinction.
It is a little disturbing. It think it was manipulated a little also. Another thing is survival of the fitest. The animal that is best fit to survive will. It has been like that since the begining of time. We still shoud practice conservation also.
Well to tell you the truth i think its a way of life. Mammal species are dieing and some new ones are being created. But it still is wierd that one fourth of the globes mammals are at risk of being extinct.
