Answer 11

You are a very disturbed person, how can you be so selfish?

Answer 12

What people don't understand about this issue is the ecology behind it.

Many endangered species are what is called "keystone" species. Like the name implies, they are the species in which an ecosystem is reliant upon. If you were to remove all of the keystone species from the earth at one time, what would happen?

Now, here is my argument for you:

If we live on an infinitessimally small speck in the middle of an infinitely large universe, and all of the life that has ever been or ever will be is on that speck, then isn't it our responsibility to nurture the miracle of life? Isn't that the inherent message in most religions? Our intelligence gives us not only the power to change the world, but the responsibility to do so in a manner that respects the miracle that is one life.

Every day we go without harmony amongst living things is another step toward our armageddon.

Answer 13

99% of endangered species are so because of mans impact on the planet so we are the ones responsbile

Answer 14

yes yes finally

Answer 15

Nah.  But I don't think we need to worry about them so much.  If they die off then that's natural selection.  In the UNLIKELY event that they are a keystone species, then another species will evolve to fill the void,  C'mon, you good liberal evolutionists.  Either it happens or it doesn't.

Answer 16

What a lovely idea!

Then we would have to develop the technology to filter our water from pollutants (job currently carried out by trees, plants and bottom dwelling animals), break down our decaying and organic matter into basic elements so we have soil for future crops and plants (currently this vacancy is filled by all decomposers and detritivores, many endangered e.g. hissing cockroach and is partly responsible for powering of  phosporus and nitrogen cycles) and find a way to filter our air so it is breathble at the correct concentrations of gasses (POSITION TAKEN BY ALL PLANTS AT THE MO). Course, this has be estimated at billions of pounds, which is unrealistic as we dont even have the technology yet and all attempts to make such an artificial earth system have failed miserably.  the last attempt ended in a single species of ant surviving and emaciated scientists going to hospital.

Still, worth a try heh?

(Please note, am not at all serious about actually doing it: completley sarcastic at the suggestion of killing all endangered life forms: since we would end up on that list alongside everthing else!).

Answer 17

yes, a shot gun is a good start, then poison, then bombs from a plane, but i have a feeling there still would be a few survivors to keep populating

Answer 18

Why not it is the american way.. It is about time we annihalate any endangered species that gets in our way.. After all man's needs are most important.. I would hate to see a time when endangered species were in abundance while man's time on earth was about to expire.. Even though we came last to his earth.. As humans we are entitled to all the earth recources and heaven help any law that leaves any species above our inalienable right to plunder our own land......

Answer 19

Hasn't anybody heard about natural selection?  

We all like to think that we are above nature, but we are not.  We are a part of nature.  Therefore, everything we do is natural.  If a species is wiped out, then I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

...If our effects on the planet cause the downfall of the human race, then  I guess we weren't meant to be....

...Oh, darn...

... I guess we need make sure that doesn't happen!!!
