You are right about the frogs, and many other species that are headed for extinction, bees included in this country. What about the 300 elephants that were killed by Asians for their tusks which are valuable in Asia and no one tried to stop them, even on a wildlife refuge,
I donate money to the Wildlife Fund to help them stop this kind of atrocity and all of you can donate a small amount each month to whatever cause you believe in. I also like the UN Children's relief fund and donate a small amount to them and some to humane society. Although needing money for food myself, it's a small amount to give and means a meal or an advocate to stop the destruction on this planet. It means one less DVD a month maybe, but where are your priorities? how many Ipads or expensive Iphones or computers do you need. I also pay $5 a month for a life ins policy with the donations going to UNHCR when I die...it will be 50k for them. My daughter doesn't need everything I have worked for. Too many trust fund babies running around now. I had to work for what I got and so do you so do something to help the world now.
Do your part and volunteer if you can't afford to donate, but do something, it will be your world soon and we won't be here to help you with it.
Too tired to post anymore, soo bon nuit.

I give to wildlife causes. I gave NOTHING to cancel Luck. Nobody asked me to give anything. I would not have given any money or time to renew or cancel a TV show, because only morons do that.
HBO got a letter from PETA, and said "Hey, here's our excuse to cancel this bomb of a show we're stuck with!" and this did not have any impact of any kind on the very noble efforts being made to save endangered species, which in case you didn't know, there are other people saying "Well why are you doing that, do you love animals more than people?"
Depends on the person. I'd sure as hell save any animal's life in favor of anybody posting on this thread.

I don't think for one minute that HBO wouldn't have continued if word had not gotten out about the horses' deaths. They were already invested in the show's second season and in the past had made mistakes by cancelling too soon and not letting an audience develop, which is what happened with "Rome" and they regretted it.
The bad publicity and outcry over the horses put a death stamp on this show, imo. The ratings weren't that low yet...still at 1.1 mil and they hoped word of mouth would help it out as it did with Rome.
The rest of what you said, I just don't understand very well...sorry.
