[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] It does seem anti-environmental. To me it seems insane. I mean this is far more than just short-sighted or merely environmentally oblivious. This seems like a deliberate attempt (i.e. going out of their way) to ensure that endangered and fragile species the world over would have even less protection than they do now. The only benefactors of this policy would seem to be: A) the poachers and trappers and B) the people who have a strong urge to have something rare and dead on their wall, floor or possibly in their tea. These would seems to constitute a EXTREMELY small portion of the population and the will thereof. Who is a part of this group? Why the fuck should we be catering to them? Perhaps I'm missing something here, Rob, but this seems to be an entirely indefensible position. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think your heart is really in trying to defend this ludicrous and dangerous re-imagining. At times I can see the logic of your arguments on other issues, but on this one I'm at a loss. I understand not wanting people to simply have a knee-jerk response, but this really is a matter of common-sense. If these species die off, they are gone for good. So if we're going to let that happen, I think we'd better have a pretty fucking good reason to do so. Irresponsible doesn't cover it. Reckless doesn't cover it. This is actively supporting and encouraging the extinction of a variety of endagered species around the globe. Tell me what general good can possibly come of this. [/QB][/QUOTE]
