If any of you know me, I am pretty big on treating animals and humans equal since both are well animals. That is why humans are homo sapiens, they are infact animals, not an extraterrestrial being. Before A blog on here, I have come across numberous groups saying hug an endangered animal. My question is, how is hugging said animal anyway to save it? While it might make the animal feel better, I bet if you did it a sexual favor it would feel even better, but that still wouldn't save the animal from extinction.
The purpose of the Hug an Animal Campaign is to make us feel the warm and fuzzies for endangered species. While I am all for saving animals from extinction, this campaign is highly flawed because most people take it at face value and so I can imagine we'll occasionally hear of someone trying to hug, say a African Lion and ending up the animals meal. All because this poor sap took the campaign slogan literally.
The way to save endangered species, people is to to show people that the animal is truly endangered. Then raise awareness on the plight of the animal so that it gets on the endangered species list. The wrong way to do it, is to tell overzealous teens and animal rights activists to go hug an animal to save it. Because the bite of an animal sucks much worse than getting sap all over you from hugging a tree.
