The mind of a child wonders ... Why?


The other day my son began asking me questions. Questions that I could not answer.
Good questions. In fact, amazing questions!


WHY do people have to kill rhinos for their horns?

WHY do people have to kill tigers for their fur?

WHY do people have to harvest palm oil fruit from the rain forest?

WHY do people have to kill elephants for their tusks?

WHY do people have to be cruel to the animals?

WHY do people have to litter at the zoo?

WHY don't more people recycle?

WHY do people not take conservation seriously?

WHY do people have to cut down the rain forest?

WHY don't people care about these things like I do?



I decided to use his questions for a blog post because I began to wonder ...

WHY does a 9-year-old child question these global issues, when so many adults do not?
