Animals Being Eaten to Extinction

I found an article on Huffington Post with a slideshow showing seven animals that are going extinct because people can’t control their appetite for their flesh. Ready for the list? In no particular order:
- Chinese Giant Salamander
- Pangolin
- Monkeys and Apes
- Elephants
- Frogs
- Bluefin Tuna
- Turtles
You’d think that with this knowledge, people would be working to make sure these animals don’t go extinct (even if only to ensure they can continue to eat them), right? Wrong! According to an article by Ocean Sentry, a nonprofit organization based in Spain, corporations such as Mitsubishi (yes, the company that makes cars and electronics!) and Taiyo are buying and freezing as much tuna as they can. They are banking on the expectation that tuna will become extinct and ensuring that they will get rich from selling their exclusive supply of tuna meat to the richest consumers when that time comes.
