Frankly, I think all of you are a bit stupid to be arguing. I mean, some of you are like, "Who cares if the animals go extinct, we need to look out for the humans!" While others of you are like, "Stupid humans, don't you realize there's no honor in these professions?"
Okay, look:
First of all, conservancy IS important, okay? We can't just kill off various animals and plants, because, frankly, that's killing ourselves off in the long run, and don't tell me that WE shouldn't have to worry about it, because I'm sure our unborn future grandchildren will already hate us all for screwing up the world this much. Conservancy IS important.
However, humans are important too!
And you can't say, "Honor this and honor that," because, look: Not everyone in the world is as privileged as we are in America. In fact, most people in the world are NOT as privileged as we are in America. Okay? Yes, poaching is bad, and it helps drive animals to extinction, which, as I've said, is also bad. But rather than harping on about honor and condemning third world people because they're surviving the only way they know how, we should give them options! We should help them, someone should patent genetically modified crops and give them to poor farmers for FREE (what good is it to make a crop that will grow in a third-world country if no one there can afford it because they have to pay for new seeds every year?), we need to educate them about the importance of conservancy and then use conservancy programs to create jobs for them! If they don't have options, what do you expect them to do?
Just realize that conservancy is important AND humans are important, that all of us are in this together, for better or worse, and that even the worst situations in America are better than the situations of, say, many of the Maasai people in Africa.
There, see? I didn't even have to swear, spell badly, or get offensive to make my point, and I simultaneously agreed and disagreed with everyone because I bother trying to see from both viewpoints and I don't take *beep* personally. (There, I swore once.)
