Wtf that eagle would not be able to break my arm. Im sure it would shred it to pieces but not break
And of course most of these incredible animals are endangered due to humans and their actions. Yet they do it anyway knowing of the consequences.
I want to help so badly but I don't know how i can
I see a lot of people in the comments expressing concern for the endangerment of wildlife. Please know that livestock is the leading cause of wildlife extinction because farmers have to kill predators and habitats are destroyed to obtain land to graze animals or grow food to feed to animals. We all have responsibility
Will people just stop poaching and find something else to make money from. This is to the poachers how would u feel if someone killed u ,took you skin off and sold it for money yeah it would be miserable
Sad thing about humans is that we have the ability to enhance wildlife and help them thrive alongside us. Yet we are so egotistic we don't care about them.
PEOPLE WHO EXPLOIT ANIMALS FOR A LIVING, ARE REAL CRIMINALS – I would rather beg , than do hunting / killing / poaching.
I don't understand why us humans kill them it's so sad :((( we came after them we need to respect them
Hotel?

It's so unfortunate that most of the incredible animals on this planet are the ones that are being endangered. I'm very grateful to this channel for raising awareness to some extent for the welfare of the wildlife.
Martial eagles are so pretty why tf do people gotta be dicks
oh wait I know why
"Ohhhhhhhh this bird is so pretty time to kill it so I can have its feathers because people are smarter therefor better that this stupid bird that can crack my arm if it wants to"
(ps im not a vegan nor anywhere near one it just pisses me off when poachers or any one acts like this)
