99.9% of every species that has ever lived on this planet is now extinct. Species will continue to go extinct while new species will continue to emerge. One thing the history of this planet should tell you, life is not static.

I agree with your post here..........but your "status" at least Romney's dog wasn't part of an evening meal. As they are in other parts of the world.

It's one thing to go extinct because of climate changes or natural causes beyond man's control BUT to go extinct BECAUSE of man's greed and stupidity is something completely different. Attitudes like yours courts complacency towards the needless suffering of the creatures we share the earth with.
