ScienceDaily.com (June 24, 09), Wildlife Faces Cancer Threat

According to a recently published paper in the July edition of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Nature Reviews Cancer, information on cancer in wildlife. The article "suggests that cancer poses a major threat to wild animal populations."

The paper states that cancer is the cause of over 10% of human deaths and an equal percentage of wildlife deaths. But unlike humans, whole species of wildlife are nearing extinction due to cancer. Many (most) of the cancers spreading among animal life are due to human pollution of waterways, earth and sky.


Suggestion: Read and learn about environmental issues. Care what is happening in your government and corporate worlds. Give a shit.
