Nature / Human Impact "Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe - - the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me." Immanuel Kant Human activity and an ever-increasing population have already devastated much of our planet. More and more species are becoming extinct every day. Gone forever. We must act now to save a Planet In Peril. New UN Climate Report: We’re All Doomed "Unless we act dramatically and quickly, science tells us our climate and our way of life are literally in jeopardy. Denial of the science is malpractice." March 31, 2014
"In
essence we're just a conceited naked ape. But in our minds we're some sort of
divine legend. We see ourselves as some sort of god. We walk around the earth
deciding who will live and who will die and what will be destroyed and what will
be saved. But the fact is we're just a bunch of primates out of control."
Paul Watson
'One animal or plant species may become extinct every hour. All species are doomed to extinction, but man through worldwide development/killing animals for food/profit/using toxic chemicals such as pesticides/industrial wastes, will accelerate the extinction of plants/animals and the result will be a more hostile environment for man.'

"Humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told delegates to the COP15 biodiversity summit.

If all human beings disappeared from the Earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.” Jonas Salk, biologist Our tortured land: Humankind has already crossed the point of no return in the planetary disaster its behaviour is causing. Because of the overbearing pathological presence it has evolved into, the human race is a failed evolutionary experiment, has become a garbage species, taxonomically and in an obvious behavioural sense. Its mindless, runaway, now unstoppable reproduction has turned it into a toxic fungoidal mass ooozing over the planet destroying everything before it as it spreads.

Unless we start reporting on the true cause of this pandemic and its implications for animal agriculture, we'll never be able to make the changes necessary to prevent the next outbreak.
