Do humans feel shame when animals become instinct?
People used to hunt dodo birds and I’ve never seen one IRL. They are gone.
We go about life like nothing.
Not realizing that the world was more species diverse at one point.
Our lawns and parks used to be covered in native grasses and trees.
Some places today used to be barren land or swamps.
Will anyone care about tigers enough to mention them more than at a glance? If G-d forbid they become extinct.
There is video footage of the last thylacine.
Who knew about the thylacine before this post?
Do your children know about the thylacine?
And/Or do children you know know about the thylacine?
Maybe they will just stumble upon them one day on Google or in the CR someday when they’re older, like I did.
