Why don't we just kill humanity. We are the cause of every trouble. How did we become a thing?!?!

One of the problems in countries like these is that the police force can easily be bought out. If a cop comes at you, you can pay them a few bucks to look the other way. No integrity.

It makes me so sad to see animals mistreated either with or without intention, just for selfish reasons. People need to understand that earth is for everyone to enjoy, not just other humans beings. We are a part of what makes the world the "world" and that includes every living thing.
