Yep. There’s no balance with these laws. The flower, weed, or snail trumps all. Perhaps some sort of “usefulness test” should be applied. We need the soybean and the cow. Roses are nice. But do we really need every obscure type of snail?
Species go extinct all the time on their own. It’s part of the cycle of nature. Should we save every species, everywhere just because?
I live where Venus fly traps grow as well as another carnivorous plant. They are very particular in their needs, but you can keep them as a house plant. I had one for several years with no problems.
