Thought the same when I saw the headline.
Be nice if this dopey writer would tell us why this particular beast went extinct.
The Tasmanian Tiger/thylacine was an apex predator in Tasmania. the sources of the history of that place talk about the humans there killing those and all the other predators they could find to eliminate the hunting competition because it never occurred to them that God designed all this to have a natural balance between predator/prey for the ecosystem to be healthy for humans and everything else.
An example of stupid from the article-”In one instance, a thylacine was reportedly shot near Adamsfield, Tasmania, in the early 1990s.”
You would have thought that by then, even ignorant people would have figured out that was not a good idea. Humans are supposed to manage this place to keep it balanced-not kill off what we don’t like just because. Every creature has its place in the natural world, whether we like it or not. I’m not a vegan-I was raised in the country, still live there and I hunt when I get the chance...
When a species of animals goes extinct, it's usually because all of them died.
