Nope.
But that is because I live in the country.
Watch out for things that are “true” because liberals believe them to be true.
The percentage of advanced animal life represented by wild animals has been falling, but that doesn’t mean advanced animal life or life in general is going extinct.
We have lots of zoos and wildlife refuges to project biodiversity into the future. The rate of extinction of individual species is pretty low, even lower than what it was before we humans arrived.
There was a modest uptick in extinctions when humans (Europeans) started on the age of exploration, and inadvertently introduced cats and such to long-isolated island eco-systems. I’m sorry, but we didn’t think to put some dodo birds into a zoo.
People who believe we are part of a mass extinction today are playing to the culture of death that is contemporary liberalism. They won’t be happy until everybody is addicted to psychoactive drugs, suffers from clinical depression, has mutilated their body and, ultimately, has committed suicide.
Just to show you how cock-eyed the mass-extinctionists are, they bemoan the loss of the Rocky Mountain locust. Yes, it’s true, we haven’t had a locust swarm in this country for more than a century now. It is generally believed the end of locust swarms is due to our subjecting the east slopes of the Rocky Mountains to cattle grazing. Cattle grazing disrupt the irregular pattern of incubation of locust larvae that periodically gave rise to locust swarms.
Ending locust swarms is a good thing. Not a bad thing. Ditto ending or curtailing diseases such as malaria and yellow fever.
By converting most of the world into a garden, that formerly was mostly jungles, swamps, deserts and desolate prairies, we have made the world much more habitable for ourselves and the life forms that sustain us and give us joy; and, yes, this includes preserving bio-diversity in zoos, wildlife preserves and so forth.
