Re: Bald Eagle off the endangered species list
I don't get why the argument is even going this direction. There's no question that the Bald Eagle would die out, because some people might try to save it, with others would hunt it for food, and I'd be willing to wager the hunt crowd would outweigh the save crowd.
The better issue is why are they worth protecting, or why for that matter is any species worth protecting. After all, if the people kill off the eagle, doesn't that just mean we (and by extension the market) don't value the eagle? Certainly another bird or fowl will pop up to be coveted.
Hint: There is a right answer here.
