Now that I see some of your opinions I have no wonder that the Humanity faces this days all sorts of problems .
Look at this :
"A freshwater dolphin found only in China is now "likely to be extinct", a team of scientists has concluded."

Plus how many cows and chicken do you know to be extinct ?
* dolphins evolved from land animals... The land ancestor of the dolphin lived about 50 million years ago and looked a little like a wolf. This animal hunted in shallow waters and by and by adapted itself to life in water: the forelegs became flippers, the hind legs disappeared and the fluke evolved, the fur disappeared and the nostrils moved to the top of the head.
* dolphins live in families.. These families are usually led by a female dolphin. The dolphins in a family help each other, for example when raising their young. When traveling or hunting, several families might join together to make a larger group, a school of dolphins.
* dolphins are ENDANGERED Humans are the greatest threat to dolphins: environmental pollution, habitat destruction and overfishing are the main reasons why so many dolphin species are endangered. Lots of dolphins get stuck in fishing nets and in some countries, dolphins are deliberately killed because they eat the fish that the fishermen want to catch. If we do not do anything about it, dolphins might soon be extinct.
how many cows will be extinct how many chicken will be extinct ?
There are some species that live in fresh water: the river dolphins. Unfortunately, river dolphins are critically endangered and it is even feared that one species, the baiji, has already died out.
* you can help to protect dolphins? Educate yourself about these animals and tell others about them. Care more about our environment and start to recycle more things.
AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING ONLY IN DENMARK :
