Yeah, i heard. JSR started a thread on it. Honestly, (and as a liberal) I'm more for the economic well-being of human beings than for animal conservation. I would cut down the rain forest if it means long term economic prosperity for humans.Originally Posted by FavreChild
Hey tank - I saw a story on CNN about polar bears and how the U.S. gov't is considering putting them on the endangered species list due to global warming. Polar bears cannot survive w/out sea ice.
I think the funds provided to conserve endangered animals, animals in which humans have no use for (such as for food or as utilities), should be used instead to improve the human society. Millions of people are starving around the world and yet we are spending (or should I say, wasting) millions of dollars saving a few thousand polar bears (or other animals). That to me is injustice at the very heart of the human race.
