Humans to survive animal extinction

Humanity’s continuing war on animals is going well, according to the latest UN Extinction Index. Half the world’s 634 species of primates are dying out.

‘The situation is even better than we imagined,’ said Francesco Bellotti, President of Humans First, Think Later. ‘We’re killing species we’ve never even heard of.’

'Not even the most hardened animalist will shed a tear for the grey-shanked langur or the pygathrix cinerea – because until now no one had ever heard of them. Same goes for red colobus.’

‘Fifty years isn’t much in the life of the Earth – but it’s a heck of a lot when people work together.’
