Animals that we ate to extinction

Did you think it was not a big deal to eat bird meat or meat in general? It would never lead to extinction of animals? Then you must be shocked to hear that there are few facts which suggest that our eating habits have lead to extinction of birds. One of the classic examples is Dodo, which has become extinct species due to man’s eating habits. In addition to eat, there are few more birds, like The Great Auk and the Passenger Pigeon.

Meat eating is not real great idea on regular basis as it is full of fat. I accept that there are few people who have to eat meat due to their health conditions, but other than that eating meat just for the sake of it, is not advisable. Who knows, there may be a day when hens would also become extinct.

Next time when you eat meat, just give a thought whether you want to contribute towards species extinction. I am not asking you to become vegetarian or giving out advice, all that I am telling is that if our predecessors were capable of creating extinction, then what is the guarantee that we will not repeat it!
