Recently, we lost a very adorable friend,Miss Baiji..We are saddened by the fact that she was killed due to industrial and residential waste flowed into the Yangtze river which is her beloved hometown. The riverbed was dredged and reinforced with concrete in many locations. Ship traffic multiplied, boats grew in size, and you fishermen employed wider and more lethal nets. Other than that, noise pollution also caused the nearly blind Miss Baiji to collide with propellers. In the 1970s and 1980s, an estimated half of Miss Baiji's families death were attributed to entanglement in fishing gear. Doesn't it saddened you too?
It is such a waste to lose such a wonderful friend..it is hard to imagine life without Miss Baiji..if only you humans were careful enough to think about her existence before you even proceed to carry out your daily routines. Didn't you know the place where you seek for your food is also the place where Miss Baiji and her family lives? Because of your carelessness, we all have to live with this horrible fact.
Next time, please be more alert of your surroundings, perhaps there are other earthlings instead of you selfish human beings in this world..so don't act as if you own the world and you have the right to do whatever you want just because you are bigger than us and also because you think you deserve to live instead of us...
It would be a miracle if one day Miss Baiji could again be here with us. Until that day comes, we would want to say; Miss Baiji... may you rest in peace.
