“Humanity is wiping out species at a record pace and that is indisputable.”
Out of curiosity- what pace would that be?
And what if we do harvest the tuna into extinction? Seems like an awful small part of my diet to be concerned about. (And last I checked, I was a part of the food chain as well.)
Now if you mean to tell me we are going to run out of fish in general, I might listen some more. But as it stands more squid in the world just tells me that there is going to be an overpopulation and nature will adjust for them. More birds and turtles will move in to eat them. A crowded system is an abundance of food that hasn’t been exploited yet.
I have to ask though;
What does the mega fauna have to do with anything right now? Megafauna were by and large animals acclimated to a world in an ice age. We still have large cats and elephants. Mammoths died. Did you hear about this, http://www.exn.ca/mammoth/Cloning.cfm ?
Oh look, humans bringing a species BACK!
I challenge you to tell me of any other animal whose actions would ever lead to this outcome.
Wake up and enjoy being human.
