So if this lizard for whatever reason becomes extinct ...what would be the consequences? Species have become extinct since the very beginning of life on this planet. It is the natural order of things. While these lizards should not be deliberately killed, they have been living with oil drilling for decades and are still here.
What, we humans should go extinct so the lizard can live? It sounds like a hallucinogenic dream that Jim Morrison had in the desert after eating some jimson weed. Did the plan to save the lizard come from the group VHEMT?
