I don’t know if I have preticipated in making species go existink but I definitely desacrated some of their graves including some Indians . As a construction worker it’s well known that we might kill some poor ass little animal in the act of building some big ass house or building.


I want op to get the F off his hi horse and think about how many bugs he/she kills with the windshield of their vehicle every day/week/year. Shit happens deal with it!

I hired Terminix to try to lead insects and termites into extinction at my other house after we remodeled.

1939 construction with the old wooden I-beam in the basement. 15 traps around the property and only one trap ever got hit. Better safe than sorry.

Hired them right after we dismantled the old shed and found termites. $600 a year well spent and that includes carpenter ants, brown recluse spiders, silver fish and all the others I targeted for extinction.

We laid a 6" concrete base for the new shed. Try eating that, my termite friends. Oh wait, you guys aren't looking so well. You should watch what you eat.

250,000 people have dies worldwide from C19 and over %50 percent have been over 75yo. What's more important to you? 500 species or 250,000 people. Plenty of people around to destroy and boost the population but those extinct species are done. How many people are there in the world anyway? Have we reached 10 billion yet? Personally I would rather have those 500 species back than the people as long as they're not MY family or loved ones.

Numerous species around where I live are gone from the area. Quail and grouse to name a couple. Loss of habitat. More soybeans, corn and wheat. Old growth forest cut down for more beans and corn. Pileated woodpeckers are mostly gone. I see a couple a year now. Twenty years ago the bees in my back wildflower plot was so filled with bees you could hear them. Millions of wings. Done with my orchard. I haven't been able to raise peas since the 70's. I rarely see monarchs. I'm 76. Some just aren't in a position to notice things. Things are changing....

I don't know Randy but its obvious they don't get the big picture.. Who needs pollinators and Pileated woodpeckers or Monarchs. How many spring peepers have you heard. Sounds like a bunch of church going right wing racists who put more value on 250 Anglo-Saxon than they do on global warming and losing ANWR to oil drilling and simply don't understand that all species form an interconnected web and that 250,000 people are more valuble in a world of 10 billion humans who are directly causing global warming more than elephants, cheetas, Rhinos dozens of bird species and condors as well as the 5 million black Africans who die from hunger and disease. Its a shame that they value a few people in a world with ten billion people more than the world as a whole. Narrow minded and unable to accept reality is a perfect example of ignorance.
