We had better kill them all and fast, otherwise they will become a protected species, all the nonsense that involves.

But you can’t protect what doesn’t exist.

At first I misread the title. I thought it said “new species of sperm male discovered”

Seems the left has alreaded discovered in excess of 80 genders.

“Look at that! Never seen one of those before! This is a first! And by the way there are only 100 of them in the entire world!!!!!”

WTH? Have they been hidin’ with buyduhn?

[Alberta's Child]

Is there any evidence that this species even existed before 2015?

Can a species really be "endangered" if its current population may be the highest it has ever been?

Would the ecosystem even notice if these 100 whales disappeared?

New species of whale...

Let’s call it The Joy Behar!

[vpintheak]

Newly discovered, which means there aren’t very many, ever. But somehow they know they are going extinct?
I wish I had this kind of know-how!

I wouldn’t want to insult.................................the whales................

[Redmen4ever]

I believe the rate of discovery of new specie and re-discovery once species once thought extinct is faster than the rate of extinction. We had a spurt of extinctions upon the introduction of cats and other invaders into long-isolated islands. But, that was a one-time event. The rate of extinctions has now long returned to its very long term trend.

The facts emanated by modern scientists are downright amazing, aren't they?

[blueunicorn6]

True.

[brownsfan]

Well, if I didn’t know about them, I wouldn’t miss them.

[immadashell]

It is not a new species of whale, it has just been reclassified.

[Tallguy]

Discover a ‘new’ species... then immediately put it on the endangered list.

Got it.

I remember the scare ads that were on late-night TV back in the 90s about how the "deforestation of the Rain Forest" was wiping out 15,000 species of plant and animal life every year. Or maybe it was every month.

...and, put a ban on offshore drilling. I think I see where this is headed.
