Double check your numbers, Doc. They are increasing. No need to counter 'rights' ignorance with additional ignorance.
No need to attempt countering anything with lack of common sense or even worse, denial (i.e. I don’t want to know the truth if it is ugly!).
Common sense...
Polar bears must have sea ice to thrive. The ice is leaving at an alarming rate...the bears will follow the inevitable ending of this scenario without help. That problem is on top of the fact that we, as a species, seem to think we are ‘entitled’ and show no respect to, or for, the rest of God’s incredible creatures. We (mankind) have taken the great gift handed to us (earth and all of her children) and abused it when it should have been nurtured.
Kill the baby bear? Mmmm…I wonder who would have survived, back in the day, when obviously imperfect HUMAN children were left out to the elements to die.
Animal rights activists had their place at one time…they have obviously lost their way. An activist should be trying to SAVE the animals…not find lame reasons to destroy animals that are obviously love and cared for. There are even cases where wild animals have saved human children. Hmmm, I wonder if the animals caught flack from their peers for that?
