        Capitalism only worships capital. It has no humanity or respect for life. Ultimately it will destroy the planet completely

        Nobody is suggesting communism. But unbridled Capitalism is not the answer.

        Giraffe's existence is threatened already. Legalizing it encourages further trade and decline of the species.
