Please describe these "issues." You seemed to suggest that humanity deserved to die in your original post because of its treatment of animals (that is the topic afterall). I countered by explaining how absurd this premise is, and I put some of the blame on groups like PETA for spreading such absurd ideas on otherwise kind people who like animals. Was there some other reason you called for humanity's extinction in your post that I was magically supposed to understand from your two sentence post?

If Street Fighter outdoes the tigers, nobody will ever understand what kinda uppercut is Sagat yelling about... funny... though mostly sad.

Frankly, I don't care if every wild animal dies. They eat people for crying out loud!

P.S. I don't like man eating water animals either.

That's why we need to fund our zoos.

Personally, i'd love to protect these animals... but when they are worth so much money poached AND they live in poor countries where you can't make a living...

What can be done to stop them?

It's like a case of King Richards Forrest.  Except everybody is siding with King Richard.

Outside of sending armed guards to actually guard them, I see no solution.

Also, as for "People never doing anything good for the earth."

My question is...

What does the Earth care?   What makes a planet like Earth "better" or "happier" then a planet like Mars?

Only one thing.  The personification of people that planets with  life are better and happier then planets without life.

People are just the naturarl evolution... of evolution.

A race so evolved that instead of adapting to it's surroundings, it adapts it's surroundings to it. 

If you could provide someone with a steady job guarding a tiger as opposed to killing that tiger, selling it once, then having to go kill another, the economics of that sit in favor of guarding, though that's purely a matter of funding and getting the guys with guns to realize a stable job in wildlife protection is worth more in the long run than work as a poacher

Its time to reduce the worlds human population by 4 billion or so because we are destroying all other life, as if we are the only ones that matter. I call for forced sterilization and I'm only 1/2 joking maybe not at all.

Mankind needs to not beat itself up so much.  You can only do so much about the people who just don't care about animals (they will hunt the rare and exotic, treat them poorly, ect.), and there have been plenty of success stories.  Besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if it went extinct in the wild, it will still exist in captivity as a reminder of what once was.  Animals went extinct before humans had world-wide influence.

In the end, they're still just animals.  We try to help them from going extinct because they can't help themselves, and as our responsibility as fellow inhabitants of this planet, and in exchange we eat, hunt, and keep them as pets.  Sounds fair enough to me, especially since animals hunt and eat without protecting the welfare of other species.

The problem with that would be it would be extremtly classist.  Since to have any effect the people you'd need to sterlize would be the poor... and poor countries.

Afterall the biggest problems of population growth now comes from poor countries... and poorer families.

There is always also the option of cutting off foreign aid.  Of course, that would cause a bunch of people to die.  There is a certain logic in foreign aid only really contributing to those countries problems long run as it artificially inflates their populations buuuut.... I mean, the other option is just letting people die.

Convincing them could be tough, and are there enough jobs for everybody?  We can't even create enough jobs in the US.  I feel like poachers probably aren't like just a small minority, but a large group of people who do it when they can wander into it.
