CONTEXT: 

Man is rapidly destroying a world ceded to him so as a gift for growth and preservation. We see this with the poaching of the Rhino to near extinction; there are less than 30 000 Rhinos living in the wild today. 'STAY' is both a plea and a statement- 'A STAY of execution'. I cannot fathom a world without these grand beautiful creatures roaming the earth. So many more are unwittingly and increasingly joining the endangered list.
