Endangered Species Act Turns 42

Quote:Yes, we must protect the animals and be their voice. I so wish the animals could talk and speak up for themselves, the poor things.

I would have been around 20 when they created the Endangered Species Act. I don't remember it happening.
Maybe I didn't really understand how important it was.

Since animals don't have a voice we have to do what we can.  Looking back I can see how very important this first step was.
