I really wished we could have saved the dodo bird, I think they're kinda cute. Alas... it can never be.
Education not violence. Try it on for size. It might just suit you. It's certainly less painful for others.
What is your point about the dodo bird? All I can imagine is, you think concern over species extinction is about aesthetics. Is that correct? Is it safe to assume that you don't understand ecosystem services, trophic cascades, coevolution, nutrient cycling, water quality, flood control, and so on?
