Things have been dying out since the world began, at the same time people are finding new species...it happens, deal with it!
If this is the "sixth mass extinction", as the article says we weren't even here for the last five, so in my opinion the sixth would have happened with or without us.
I'm no advocate of mindless destruction, very far from it in fact but beating ourselves up over this isn't going to help. Bushcraft, if we live it as well as just doing it can help...but only help, the world will do what it's doing whether we want it to or not....I would have thought the events of Boxing Day last year would have reminded us all of that but now that the media hype is over we've forgotten how insignificant we are again and think we run everything...WE DON'T....and therefore, we aren't to blame for everything either.
Sure, there are too many people in the world, health care is too good and modern farming methods suck but are you going to tell Mrs Smith that little Johnny has to die because that's what nature intends? I don't think so!!!
Are you going to make all the Veggy's in the world eat meat because there isn't enough room to grow all their veg? again I don't think so!
Don't be upset and sad by articles like this, they are written simply to shock and make you buy the magazine or paper.... do you think the BBC really gives a hoot about this while they are worried about the impendnig strike....doubt it
Forget all this nonsence and go out and enjoy the world for real....then maybe you'll be doing your bit to help without even knowing it
Thanks for listening,
Bam.
