That and all the money spent of saving pandas could be sent on saving people. Screw the pandas.
You possess the same regard towards your environment as the Great Generation did. Fun fact -- it was their carelessness and rhetoric, like that of above, that led to the wide spread use of DDT and great reluctance to remove said biotoxin from circulation.
We live on this isolated rock. What kills other animals also kills us.
I would hate to see people like you become popular, concerned only with yourselves and anthropocentric interests, oblivious to the footprint of humans. A footprint, I might add, that has a long history of decimating local environments and their people.
Any resident of the Gulf of Mexico can lovingly tell you about BP. But British Petroleum must be a non human creation, right?
Oh wait -- it's all humans. My bad.
I'm not one to advocate saving every critter. But I am one to advocate that every species lost to human carelessness is a portent of things to come (HINT: Things to come? They happen all the time -- look at PCB dumping, insecticides and herbicides in farming, Agent Orange in Vietnam).
I'm against carelessness and shortsightedness.
Like yours, Stue.
