For gods sake Mothra. You should know that emotion has no valid use when it comes to governing intellect.
We all know that kids who pull wings off flies end up in prisons for their cruel ways.
The over-populated nations deem it necessary to justify their irresponsible breedings by sustaining themselves in 'any' manner possible at the cost of everything else.

Don't expect Politicians to know what's best for Conservation and animals. Where is a Nation that makes Conservation as its priority and can set a good example for every other Nation? There is none. So until then, animals will always be FREE GAME.
Petitions and Protests never achieve much success, especially here in OZ, where the Politicians have blatantly expressed on Radio that such will always just be ignored ('arrogantly'). The Liberals have already stated they will no longer fund any protective measures for animal species that are deemed of no 'constructive/productive' use - regardless how rare.
Mind you, remember when young and those chicks in the nightclubs who were 'blind' drunk were easy to score with?
