People are f*ckers. It was probably the worst thing that ever happened to the planet, us evolving to our present state. Look what we do to the planet that does nothing but give itself freely to us...

For me, it's not how it will affect my day to day life, it just disgusts me that, more than likely, humans have pushed another species out of existence.

But no, it won't affect me going to Tesco.

Everything that happens to the planet affects us, be it in an obvious and peripheral way, a moral way, a spiritual way or otherwise.

In addition to the moralistic concern, there is also Biodiversity.

If you didn't know about it you would not be affected in any way. These guys can be extinct and Viv is still gonna sleep well tonight.:sorry:

Knowledge isn't the creator of effect. Read Jannie's link. Just because we don't know about something, doesn't mean we're not affected. Does this mean if I were to catch a disease tomorrow, and not know about it, that it doesn't affect me at all? Things like this are far more significant than most people are willing to admit. Which, in my opinion, feeds the problem.

Species have been going extinct on a regular basis since long before we came along - it's the natural order of things.

But it's not natural, really. Poaching led to the extinction of these creatures, not some natural order. I'm pretty sure those rhinos would stand a fair chance in the world were it not for hunters and guns.

This is not a direct jab at you- just easier to use your quote for what I wanted to say. I do find it sad that some people don't seem to care about things that don't directly (or immediately) touch their lives.
