Dolphin Species Driven to Extinction By Humans

I know that sometimes it’s hard to peel away the many layers of this ogre’s onion and see what’s important to me. Obviously, my family (both the furry and non-furry members) is really important to me. But the Earth and all its animals are really important to me as well.

I don’t understand why so few people understand that we’re all links in a chain, and I’m not even talking the “food chain”. Every link that gets eradicated, particularly at the hands of the “human” race, we as a planet are weakened for it. I don’t pretend to be a total tree hugger, but I understand that every animal lost at the hands of a human literally, or via human “progress” is a loss that should be mourned heavily.

I grieve today for this poor species of dolphin. I grieve for us.
