OP-ED....Humans are Driving Animals to Extinction

   It's hard to imagine a world in which elephants, orangutans, lions and other iconic wildlife only exist in stories, photos and zoos.

   But that may be where the future is heading for some of these animals.  Several creatures around the world are being pushed toward extinction by humans, through hunting and habitat loss, researchers say.

   The African elephant alone may lose 20% of what is left of them in a decade if poaching is not stopped.
