How does the whole sale slaughter of a species to extinction or near extinction benefit the many?

When it gets in the way.

 

[Ms Tree]

How did the whales, black foot ferret, carrier pigeon just for starters get in the way?

How does the whole sale slaughter of a species to extinction or near extinction benefit the many?

Oil for one.

 

[Ms Tree]

Once they are extinct there is no more oil. Aside from that, how does extinction benefit the many? We are not talking about sustainable harvesting.

The whales aren't endangered, but take that argument to Japan instead of talking non-sense here. The black footed ferret is still in existance thanks to, hmmmmm, man. And hey dumb @$$, their decline isn't due to man.

Your carrier pigeon is a myth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_pigeon

You see any pigeon can be a carrier pigeon. All you have to do is breed them and let someone take one with them. Insert message. Release. Bird returns to birthplace.

I think you mean the passenger pigeon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Pigeon

Pigeons, mourning doves, and other rats with wings seem to be stronger because of the loss, seeing that they can live among our habitat and are protected parasites.

Again evolution is survival of the fitess, but keep reciting your dribble and spinning my post. Key words to my last post is that most research doesn't want to lose that government paycheck by being proven wrong. This goes for Europe and the rest of the world! If I can prove PT BARNUM was right and get paid for it, well insert head in your backhole

You missed the point of many needing oil wasn't an issue for the whales survivability.

Do you not understand that information can be verified? Yes, several whales are endangered and they are endangered due to over hunting by man.

northern right whale 500-1,000 endangered (ESA, IUCN)
southern right whale 3,000 endangered (ESA); vulunerable (IUCN)
bowhead whale 8,000 endangered (ESA, IUCN)
blue whale 10,000-14,000 endangered (ESA, IUCN)
fin whale 120,000-150,000 endangered (ESA); vulnerable (IUCN)
sei whale 50,000 endangered (ESA)
humpback whale 10,000+ endangered (ESA, IUCN)
sperm whale 200,000 endangered (ESA)
vaquita a few hundred endangered (ESA)
baiji about 300 endangered (ESA, IUCN)
Indus susu 500 endangered (ESA, IUCN)

Do you not even read the stuff you post? This is from your Wiki link.

For a time, the black-footed ferret was harvested for the fur trade, with the American Fur Company having received 86 ferret skins from Pratt, Chouteau, and Company of St. Louis in the late 1830s. During the early years of predator control, black-footed ferret carcasses were likely discarded, as their fur was of low value. This likely continued after the passing of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, for fear of reprisals. The large drop in black-footed ferret numbers began during the 1800s through to the 1900s, as prairie dog numbers declined because of control programs and the conversion of prairies to croplands. Sylvatic plague, a disease introduced into North America, also contributed to the prairie dog die-off, though ferret numbers declined proportionately more than their prey, thus indicating other factors may have been responsible. Disease and inbreeding depression may have also contributed, as studies on black-footed ferrets from Meeteetse revealed low levels of genetic variation. Canine distemper devastated the Meeteetse population in 1985. A live virus vaccine originally made for domestic ferrets killed large numbers of black-footed ferrets, thus indicating that the species is especially susceptible to distemper.

Same goes for the passenger pigeon as well as countless other species.

Whole sale slaughter of species has nothing to do with evolution or survival of the fittest. Where you come up with this garbage is anyone’s guess. Go ahead and wallow in your ignorance. It is obvious you do not read what you post much less what other post unless it aligns with your POV.

I'm done trying to explain color to a blind man.

 

[Ms Tree]

You missed the point of many needing oil wasn't an issue for the whales survivability.

And you missed the point that if the whale oil was needed for surviveablility they would have run out because most of the whales would now be extinct due to the whole sale slaughter of them.

And you missed the point that if the whale oil was needed for surviveablility they would have run out because most of the whales would now be extinct due to the whole sale slaughter of them.

If you're truly serious about any of this (which is virtually never the true case with supposed enthusiasts for "saving the planet")...there are far better ways to demonstrate that than spending time on chat boards, talking about limiting personal foot prints and arguing over ducks/whales/whatever/etc. None of the people I could see covered on even this one linked site much care about limiting themselves in such fashion.

No chit buckwheat.

needing oil wasn't an issue for the 'whales' survivability

You should have been able to garner that point in my reply.

Just flew over your little head.

And you know how I spend my time how? Cannot disprove any of the facts so you attack me. Have it.

Council may kill Google housing in General Plan vote Tuesday

Council members cited impacts to the rare burrowing owl at Shoreline Park among the reasons for their opposition to new North Bayshore housing, noting feral cats and loose dogs already pose a major threat. They also cited the lack of a plan to control traffic, though supporters say housing there would decrease trips to and from jobs in the area.

Opossum protein neutralizes nearly all poisons, could have benefits for humans


I guess it's a good thing we did not hunt them to extinction.

I think most of them are roadkill. I found a cafe if you are interested in trying Pavement Possum. .
