Do they think we're idiots!

So if the right whale disappeared, would the ecosystem suddenly collapse?

Are we protecting species that otherwise would not be seen or noticed by anyone?

Whales, seals and sharks have all been protected, have all propogated and thrown the ecosystem out of balance.

Sometimes a species disappears to make room for a more adaptive, stronger one.

I don't know that the sharks are doing that well, but the seals have certainly made out.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of environmentalists. When they want windmills to save the universe it's whales be damned. Then when we want to readjust the rules because we never get it quite right, suddenly the whales are important again.
