London (CNN) — Africa's western black rhino is now officially extinct according the latest review of animals and plants by the world's largest conservation network.

The subspecies of the black rhino — which is classified as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species ( http://www.iucnredlist.org/ )— was last seen in western Africa in 2006.

The IUCN warns that other rhinos could follow saying Africa's northern white rhino is "teetering on the brink of extinction" while Asia's Javan rhino is "making its last stand" due to continued poaching and lack of conservation.

"In the case of the western black rhino and the northern white rhino the situation could have had very different results if the suggested conservation measures had been implemented," Simon Stuart, chair of the IUCN species survival commission said in a statement.

The sad thing is that no one gives a f**k. Not even the humanist atheists seen to care that insensitive humans namely African poachers continue to murder rhinos and elephants for stupid f**king reasons.

I just believe humans are a waste and a burden to this planet and all life and this world would be better off with out us.

All the life that is currently living on this planet is less than 1% of of all the extinct species that have passed before. (All without the help of mankind.)

Daily CEO Pay Now Exceeds the Average Worker's Annual Salary

QuoteIn 1965, the average CEO made 20 times the average worker. Now the ratio is 273 to 1, meaning the average CEO makes in a day what their workers make in a year.

U.S. corporate CEO salaries rose 16 percent in 2012 according to a new report from research firm Equilar. Top salary: Larry Ellison of Oracle - over $96 million. Top exit bonus: James Mulva of ConocoPhillips - $156 million.

Average salary for the CEOs of the top 200 U.S. companies with revenue of over $1 billion was $5.3 million. The big money, however, is paid out in stock and options which added another $9 million to the median compensation package for the CEOs.

Worst off were the workers at these companies whose median pay is now at a historic low compared to the CEOs. In 1965, according to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute, the average CEO made 20 times the average worker. Now the ratio is 273 to 1 ie the average CEO's daily salary is now greater than the annual salary of their workers.

Ellison did even better - he was paid the equivalent of the average U.S. salary of $45,790 every single hour last year.
Meanwhile politicians in my state have just been given a 42% pay rise, while public servants have been given a whopping 2%.

Back the truck up over there, bitches!!

And doesn't the 2% represent the fact there's only 2% of the public service left in Queensland?

While I'm inclined to agree, that's very harsh. Humans can do a lot of good. We just choose not to, most of the time it seems at least.
