Why should we care about Endangered Species?

   i agree completely with you. i mean their is a reason the word "extinction" exists. the dinosaurs are extinct because it was making way for us. imagine if they were still on the earth they would be endangered and we would fear them greatly. we might even still be in caves if they existed.

   They aren't just dumb animals or weeds, just like you said, they are hear for a reason. how would you like it if you got in some weird axident and the doctors said,"Well, it must have happend for a reason," and left you for dead. it's the same thing.

   I just cant even contemplate how idiotic these three posts are.
   Extinction is a natural occurrence that has happened since the dawn of time. No the dinosaurs didn't die to make way for us, in fact no one really knows what killed them.
   
   The fact remains that the rate at which animals are going extinct is incredibly higher then the rate at any point of history. We are the cause of these animals disappearing from the face of the earth. We are taking away their homes and their food.
   
   For the above two posters you seem to only care about how it affects you personally. What happens if one of these animals that you let die out turned out to cure disease and had the potential to save millions. What gives you the right to see these animals but not your children? What gives you the right to exist, and them to not?

   Then there are plenty more humans alive to help kill off more animals
