I fail to understand why Biologists, most ALL of them ardent E types, are so upset over Extinction of species...


They have simply become, for whatever reason, less able to survive. Less fit, as it were.

Well, golly: too bad, I say, as a top-of-the-line E model of almost perfection.

We can kill 'em ALL ('cept them pesky germs and viruses), so they'd better get on the stick if they want to hang around much longer (for OUR enjoyment only: we like to imprison them and LOOK at them).

Like the aphids that are enslaved by the ants, we WILL keep some species in great numbers ('cause they're tasty, mostly) Those others will just have to survive (somehow) or DIE!!

That's the way of the world...
Too bad, but it's been going on for zillions of time slots.

Speaking of biologists....

They say that the cheetahs are endangered because the DNA of them is too much alike. Too many first cousins gettin' it on kitty style and the inbreeding will sap the strength of them soon or later.

If that's so, then HOW did each separate specie we see today ever get to be so robust and strong, if they TOO started with just a few individuals??

Did the E rules CHANGE somewhere?
