Sea-Lions, Tigers, and Panda Bears, oh my!
Many of my close friends know of my vehement disdain for environmental hysteria, specifically global warming (you readers may have noticed a bit of it around here too). However, there are real environmental threats, even ones caused by humans, such as poaching.
The tiger’s population numbers have dwindled to only 3,200in the world.
It would be a damn shame if the tiger went extinct, especially for frivolous reasons like wearing its fur (I’m not against fur, but I am against hunting a species to extinction for so shallow a reason) or eating its penis for fertility (you never cut a penis off of anyone! its just wrong! savages).
Now, 99% of all species that have lived on earth have gone extinct, and chances are that at some point we will be extinct too, its the only way life progresses and evolves. The problem I’m having here is that it wasn’t quite natural. Sure the argument can be made that humans are of nature and thus our actions are natural, but its a punk bitch cop-out. The adjective “man-made” exists for a reason, because we are so dominant that we create and destroy at will.
Maybe I’m just being sentimental because tigers are my favorite (non-mythical) creature.
Also, if things get too out of hand, we can just clone them back into prominence.
