And how are you and me neglicting those "important issues" by just taking some time commenting on this news going on? What are you doing to help those issues?

And yet here you are commenting in this thread.

Because thats how headline news works. It gets people to ignore other issues. All people are worried about and talking about right now is a single animal. Meanwhile, this causes people to donate money, etc to causes that prevent this, instead of to more important things, like kids who never get the opportunity for a good learning experience, or women getting raped way too often.

Although it is about just one animal. The wider issue is actually of similar importance. We have species on the verge of extinction. I think that's actually just as big a deal as education/rape.
