We should care about all the species on earth. We have an interconnected food chain that is currently collapsing, enough of it goes, and we won’t even be able to grow crops.
Nah, we’re strutting around like we’re the first mass extinction event the planet’s ever seen. The K-T asteroid didn’t worry itself with random moths, why should we?
It’s the first mass extinction event caused by one of the affected species.
Edit: It’s the first mass extinction event knowingly and intentionally caused by one of the affected species.
Also not true, the Great Oxidation Event likely knocked out 80% of the species on earth in the paleoproterozoic due to cyanobacteria respiration
“Hey Bro, you’re really such a pussy, you’re going to leave this coal mine because the canary died? I’m an alpha bro, don’t be such a beta.”
Now apply this to literally the entire fucking world. This is our current reality.
During the huge fires in Australia in 2019/2020, the Kangaroo Island “Pelican” Assassin Spider vanished because their entire habitat burned. Only 2 have been seen since the fire… but none in the last 4 years.
But no, no, climate change isn’t real… humans totally aren’t the problem…
Assassin spiders have been here for 135 million years, and now they’re being annihilated in the only 3 places the entire planet they still cling to life.
I don’t even like most spiders, but I saw scientists risking their lives to try and save insects and arachnids that only existed in those parts of Australia, because no one would try to help them, like they would a cute Joey. No one cared. I knew I needed to spread the word, so every time posts like this come up, I mention the Pelican Spider. It’s absolutely HORRIFYING to look at, but it deserves to live and be safe
Chickens, cows, pigs, and sheep would be extinct if we had no use for them.
Can wild pigs even physically die?
I once watched this nature documentary named “Princess Mononoke” and can confirm that wild pigs continue to live on even after physical death.
Every day I worry about the Devil’s Hole Pupfish. I’d like to see them one day, but I can understand why tourists aren’t allowed anywhere near the single pool where they still live.
