15+ Photos Showing How Devastated Mother Nature Feels When We Stab Her in the Back

The fingerprints of a koala are so indistinguishable from humans’ that only specialist in fingerprints can read the difference between them. In this and many other ways animals are so much like people! They are as vulnerable as we are and it’s so easy to make them sad by taking away their homes or putting them in captivity.

We at Bright Side have collected the photos of what happens humans get in nature’s own way and we tried to show you how nature really feels about this unwanted impact.

9. Gus, a polar bear who became the symbol of human interference

The bear (1985–2013) was an icon of the Central Park Zoo in New York City. His exhibit was visited by over 20 million people during his lifetime. He came into the public eye in the 1990s when he began swimming obsessively in his pool for up to 12 hours a day. Reporters dubbed him “neurotic,” “depressed,” and “bipolar,” turning him into a “symbol of the stress of living in New York City.”

Bonus

Every cloud has a silver lining. Mother nature is still ready to give humanity a second chance to live together in harmony. More and more people have been taking this opportunity and have started recycling trash, creating organizations that stand up for animal rights, and are trying to live doing less harm to the environment.

A new era of digital technology helps us use more creative tools for entertainment.

Circuses are using holograms instead of live animals for a cruelty-free magical experience, which is very cool.

People can actually be animals’ best friends.

We share the things that enlighten our spirits with them.
