Well, We've done it again.

~~Some days I wake up and I totally hate people.~~
Last year the Yangtze river dolphin had dwindled down to the measly # of 17.--17 river dolphins left. After over fishing, over crowding and the building of a dam, the Yangtze river dolphin is now officially extinct. This is the 1st time in 50 yrs. that a vertebrate has become extinct & I\'m sad to say that We\'ll probably make quick work of others as well. What a beautiful, graceful creature. Your children will now study these magnificent beings in school books right next to the Dodo bird and the Thylacine. My heart aches today.

Thanks for the post Demetre, but there is an existing thread on this topic.

» Fragile Earth » First extinction of a large vertabrate in 50 years

Please add to the ongoing discussion.

Thank you.
