 Homo

extinction

without

   One of
the more
insane
beliefs of
the Mad
Ape, is
the
nutritiona

 of
shark's
fin soup;
along with
the
aphrodisia
c power of
rhino
horn, and
 medicinal
benefit of
tiger
bones.
SFS is a
complete
myth, a
primitive

superstiti
on,
leading to
decline in
shark
population
s.  But
then
sharks are
 such
horrid
creatures
that their
demise
wouldn't
be
mourned,
surely?
   Trouble
is, we
just don't
know how
many non-
human
species we
can
eliminate
 before
the so-
called
Balance of
Nature is
irreversib
ly upset -
and we
 eliminate
ourselves.
   What do
we do when
a species
becomes
rare?
There are
two
options:
(a) try
 and catch
the
remnants
and make a
fast
profit
before
they're
all gone,
or
 (b) try
and
preserve a
breeding
stock.
Most
people opt
for (a), a
few for
 (b).
   Should
we all
become
vegetarian
s?  Not
necessaril
y, as
domestic
livestock
 have a
guaranteed
survival
prospect,
as we have
a vested
interest
in

preserving
the
species.
Export of
live
animals to
the Middle
East, for

maltreatme
nt there?
No. Give
the
animals
humane
slaughter
here, and
export
 frozen
carcasses.
 Why
should we
kow-tow to
wealthy
barbarians
?  What
with
 drought,
we can
reduce our
production
, and
cater
solely for
Australian

consumptio
n.
   Yes,
all non-
human
species,
including
botanics,
will have
their
revenge
 when the
Apeman
dies out.
   Not
gonna
happen?
The trend
is
ominous."
