On one hand we refuse people their projects because it threatens an endangered species that well isn't really endangered. On the other hand they push for renewables like wind but wind turbines kill thousands of birds of prey ever year and the solar projects out west incinerates birds by the millions????
California water problem is a major problem and primarily because of environmentalist gone mad.
Then we get to the ordinary guy on the street that gets hysterical and groups all hunting as evil.
All of this tells me one thing. People have too much time on their hands
and look what supermarkets have done to the basic issues of hunting and gathering and forging of food. Perhaps we all need to live in the wild for a period and get back to the reality of life.
In my view the response to your question is I believe that a genuine endangered species ought to be protected; albeit extinction is a part of the evolution process. On the other hand many herds need help in being thinned out such as deer

Rubicon, I appreciate your point about environmentalists gone mad. The attached link to a news story of a tragedy that occurred while we were living in the Pacific Northwest, in which 4 young firefighters were sacrificed to save an "endangered" scavenger fish. It clearly demonstrates the insanity of environmental cultism. Lest anyone not believe that they value animal life over human life, please read this story. It happened, and we were there, in a futile struggle to save those young people over a f-ing fish. It's sick.
