"It isn't the end of the world if some particular species of fish becomes nearly extinct."

No, but at some point you run out of exploitable species.

"Chances are, they'll be back over time, and if not, it wasn't meant to be."

Given the number of species that have bounced back, it seems like it never is meant to be.

Not for us, not yet. Every animal that vanishes because we've appropriated their habitat, poisoned them, killed their food or what ever the cause, is on OUR heads. We're their custodians, their keepers. We own the Earth now. Every animal we extinguish is a miracle of billions of years of evolution that we can't recreate.

Every animal we drive to extinction should be a major source of shame for the responsible among us.

That doesn't include you.
