Amazon Pink River Dolphins are now endanger of extinction in Brasil. Pink dolphins in the rivers of the Amazon rain forest compete for the same fish that fishermen try to catch to feed their families. Many are illegally killed by those fishermen.

The video explains the local inhabitants of the Amazon community believe in old wife's tales from years ago about the dolphins killing men and impregnating young girls...education is very much needed to break these stories and to view them for what they are...just "stories" fictional not fact, great myths to be told around a campfire. Also, teaching the fisherman to use piglets for bait instead of dolphins is not the answer either. The main reason for the killing is to providing an income for their families....the EPA and other animal conservation groups feel the Amazon area is too large to police, so why not pay the locals to guard and protect the Amazon species and earn an income as well. Also, teaching other skills to earn money or identify what is needed by the locals….food? farming, labor? barter etc...but instill the moral concept not to earn money from the expense of killing another species.

paren ya esa gente ignorante de estar asesinando a esos animalitos que también tiene derecho a la vida,para todos hay alimento solo hay que cuidarlo y repartirlo equitativamente,el hombre por naturaleza es egoísta y ambicioso ,quiere todo solo para ellos sin importar lo que tenga que hacer a los demas,incluso asesinando.en todo el mundo se da este tipo de hechos ,ya es hora de que los detengan definitivamente,ya hicieron demasiado daño y lo seguiran haciéndo si no los detienen cuánto antes,exhorto a toda la gente ,a todos los seres conscientes a que los detengan ya.
