(insert animal) slaughter and morals.

Rhino's are being killed for their horns (which are actually made of the same stuff as hair you crazy Chinese) just as elephants were before for their ivory and dolphins and whales are slaughtered in the hundreds of thousands each year all for different reason by different cultures but essentially at the core of it all what is the true reason?

Profit obviously, someone is profiting and some of those people profiting are immoral people by most standards.


And what about those politicians who ignore the wants and needs of their constituents in order to gain for them selves? Profit.



Now some (liberal minded) individuals would conclude PROFIT is the root of all evil but thats not really looking deeply enough. I know some great people who want to have a positive impact on the world who are stinking filthy rich and you can bet your sweet ass that they worked for and deserve every penny they make(and don't donate). It is obviously possible to make money, even excessive amounts of it, and still be a good person who isn't taking advantage.

What is it then in the heart of some men that cause them to care so little about those around them and the world around them that they would do terrible awful things?
