"It is our responsibility, and our reward, to preserve a spot on this planet for things that are not of man."

Probably a prerequisite for our survival too, I imagine. Also, judging by this thread, for our mental health ;-)

There's a lot of people who use threads on environmental or animal concerns to demonstrate their God given right to piss on whatever they want in the name of some human superiority over animals, as if that's even the point.

I think these kinds of internet posts are the equivalent of the boys in school who used to pull the legs off things just to upset the girls in the school yard.
