"The Politics of Extinction"
Remain a parasite OR become an Earth Warrior.
By Captain Paul Watson
We are at the present time living in an age of mass extinction. Each year, more than 20,000 unique species disappear from this planet forever. This represents more that two species per hour. Species extinction is the fuel that supports the ever increasing progress of the machinery of civilization.
Individual humans are for the most part insulated from the reality of species loss. Alienated from the natural world, guided by anthropocentric attitudes, the average human being is unaware and non-caring about the biological holocaust that is transpiring each and every day.
The facts are clear. More plant and animal species will go through extinction within our generation than have been lost thorough natural causes over the past two hundred million years. Our single human generation, that is, all people born between 1930 and 2010 will witness the complete obliteration of one third to one half of all the Earth's life forms, each and every one of them the product of more than two billion years of evolution. This is biological meltdown, and what this really means is the end to vertebrate evolution on planet Earth.
Nature is under siege on a global scale. Biotopes, i.e., environmentally distinct regions, from tropical and temperate rainforests to coral reefs and coastal estuaries, are disintegrating in the wake of human onslaught.

"Sea Shepherd's Record of Violence"
Note;
This is a huge topic with many sides. Still, the outright slaughtering of marine life in sanctuaries protected by law still goes on in broad daylight and with full knowledge of the authorities in certain countries like Japan, Scotland....(too many to name)

It is never too late to get started on a different path in life. If there's something that interests you -- a new hobby, a new career, or a new weight goal -- you should pursue it. Don't let your age, income, or current status in life restrict you. Every day offers a new opportunity, a new set of choices to make -- and this day is no different. If you want to make a change, make it. Stop working so hard to come up with excuses. You know you can do it, so do it!
