Um, people who care about the future of our natural world do.
Dolphins and whales and sharks are under serious threat of extinction because of being killed off by humans. It's actually been projected that at this rate of harvesting our oceans the world's oceanic ecosystems and fisheries will collapse by 2040 or 2050.
Believe it or not, some people actually don't want that to happen and some people care about preserving the natural world. Many dedicate their lives to it including myself.

You are wrong. The ecosystem did not evolve to withstand our human tampering. It WILL eventually collapse at this rate if we keep it up. We are forcing countless numbers of species to go extinct, some before we can even fully study them.
The ecosystem of the world evolved over billions of years and was perfected to a tee with the natural forces of the world.
Then humans came along and it wasn't really until technology really started hauling ass (industrial age) that we truly started pushing the ecosystem to the limits, and we have surpassed those limits that it can withstand.
We humans have been going strong since the industrial age. How long ago was that? 200 FUCKING YEARS AGO?
And evolutionary forces have been working fine for how long? 3 BILLION years or so?
You divide 200/3BILLION, * that by 100, and tell me what % of evolutionary time we humans have really been impacting.
As I said: At this rate we won't have functioning ecosystems by 2040. We DEPEND on the ecosystem we live in.

What are you talking about? Evolutionary forces keep ecosystems in check. Humans are disrupting ALL ecosystems across the planet.
I grew up in nature. Nature is my world. I hold nothing higher than the absolutely astounding intricacies and forces of nature. Everything works in a way that is essentially flawless. I'm dedicating my life to preserving nature and if there is 1 thing I will make sure of it will be to fight the misguided materialistic ignorant and naive minds of those like yourself who are so ignorant of nature or so apathetic that you're willing to trash our environment without a care.
The species and the natural world evolved to how it has become which has supported us humans to be able to enjoy this world and for you to sit on your ass and type on the computer. I'd like to preserve the world for my children and for the natural world itself. I think you're the one who needs to grow up. Anyone who doesn't value nature or does not appreciate it is missing out on life and is wrapped up in a FAKE and MATERIALISTIC humanoid world. I pity that life to the fullest.

People do give a fuck. Do you live under a god damned rock?
Have you seen how GIGANTIC the environmental movement has got?
People are aware that corporations and human wastes of life are polluting the world and they have had enough. People realize the importance of nature.
It's important obviously because there are millions and millions of dollars going around to protect and study the environment.
Countless medications that you have used have been derived from nature so that your ungrateful ass can sit there and bitch and moan.
Like I said: If you don't value nature, or appreciate it, then you are a human that is wrapped up in artifical society so much that you are blinded from the wonders of nature. Nature is where you came from, and it's all around you. Only in the last hundreds of years have humans detatched from it.
If you wanna be a damn teenybopper running around in a microcosmic mall of life then be my guest. I'll be enjoying the natural world while protecting it at the same time, and you'll be wasting your shitty life away in an ungrateful and artificial humanoid life. Fuckin SAD man.

Yes. This is my point though: Humans are damaging not just 1 species. They are damaging the entire ecosystem from the terrestrial world to the oceanic world, to the WHOLE world (terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems are ONE big ecosystem).
We are systematically shutting down and sterilizing this planet. That is a true shame. Some of these things we will never get back again, and ecosystems are permanently damaged to the point of total collapse.
Why would you laugh at that happening, and why would you feel ok with that happening, and how does that not anger you? I could never be so self centered or selfish like that. I could never be so disconnected with nature.

you're argument doesn't seem to be completely relevant to what this thread is about
and "grow up and learn not to care"?? wow you are one poor soul and am glad that I'm not in your shoes. that right there is one of the biggest problems in people I see today how about care, have hope and ambition and see what happens it sounds like you need to 'grow the fuck up'

You can't just answer that simply but we should at least all keep the environment a priority in the things we do and try to minimize wastefulness and move towards new technologies that help us damage the earth LESS. At least CARE about the environment, ya know?

Fish farms run waste into soil, groundwater, and other bodies of water You eat cows that are contributing to global warming in massive amounts. Fruit and vegetables are NOT best grown inside
You're just a motherfuckin apathetic excuse for an adult and I feel sorry for you. Take my advice and learn to appreciate this life to the fullest, rather than a drug induced experience of humanistic materialism and artificial living.
For a second it was funny there to see you try to explain how you living doesn't use the environment. Wtf, dude, are you doped out?

are you just pulling shit out of your ass and typing it? Fish run waste into soil? wtf? So natural bodies of water are fucked because of the fish? I don't understand you. Global warming...rofl. Well this is not really the point...but the world has cycles. Gets hot, gets cold...cycles. But wtf would cows have to do with global warming? Were your parents brother and sister or something?

Fish FARMS run waste into these things, ados.
Cows: Methane released from them in huge amounts. Methane is more potent a greenhouse gas than even CO2.
Point is that YOU are contributing to the destruction of this earth as we all are so the least you could do is care about it, and for your own sake you should at least look into some nature documentaries (they have some amazingly high quality films out at this point - Blue Planet, and Life in the Undergrowth, for example) to heighen your appreciation for nature. I don't see how anyone can not appreciate nature no matter how cool they think they are. Nature is full of absolutely astounding species and actions that boggle the mind. You're a human that gets to see these things thanks to technology, no other human has ever had the chance to be so informed, so why the fuck not take advantage of that? Do you just want to confine yourself to getting fucked off drugs and live in a bubble of human artificiality?

fish farms are nothing more then fish in water that are fed. So that would produce the same "waste" as natural fish. Cows are animals, therefore part of nature. So you contradicting yourself idiot. And I love how you assume I am on drugs and dedicate my life to drugs. I think it has been over 4 months since I have even smoke pot. But what would drugs have to do with this anyways?

aDoS, fish farms are not the same as fish in the ocean. They leak concentrated amounts of waste into small areas. That does NOT happen in natural settings.
Cows are animals propogated by humans to numbers that are reaching levels higher than any other time in the history of cowdom - seriously, dude.
This is why even though they are animals and were once part of the ecosystem, humans have cultivated them and multipled them to the point where it is affecting the *entire atmospheric composition of the world*
aDos, medicines like antibiotics, antiseptics, anesthetics, etc - all of this was used on your mother to bring you into this world. Some of these things were derived directly from nautre, other indirectly.
You are acting as if you are not denting the environment, and not using it to survive, but be assured, you are. And it's not like you or I can do too much to fix it. I'm just confused why you have total disregard for the environment, and I think it's because you have a misunderstanding as to how valuable it is. Which is fine and is not a problem, but you have the choice to inform yourself about the wonders of nature. You may as well, seeing as you're the type of person to be on the shroomery, I can't see how you wouldn't enjoy nature.
This ain't no hippy feel good bullshit. This is real, it's nature, and it's science. I take this seriously. Hell, we're currently fund raising thousands of dollars so I can go live in the rain forest of Peru for 4 weeks to do conservation work & population monitoring.

So why fight the inevadable, we as a race FUCK UP this planet very badly, soon we wont have enough oxygen if we keep cutting down trees....but like i said who gives a fuck, we all die anyway.

How does that justify ruining and robbing the wonders of nature from all the generations of humans to come over the course of the next 100 years or so?

Because eventually we will all be dead. Believe it or not, you MUST wrap your mind around the fact that humans some day will not exist. So why bother worrying all of the time about future generations. You cannot, and will not, save "nature" or future generations of people. So stop trying, and find a new motivation for living.

Saving nature is not my motivation for living. It's something I do while living.
The point is that the sun exploding is a long time away. We either have the choice to doom ourselves within the next 100 years (after only living for 200 years after the industrial revolution, and after only 2000 years or so of recorded history) or we can continue for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years.
I personally want to preserve this planet for MY CHILDREN and MY GRANDCHILDREN.
The worlds ecosystems ARE collapsing within the next 50-100 years at this rate and already are. We aren't talking about preserving the planet until when the sun explodes. We're talking about preserving it for the next generation to come.

Humans have surpassed the conventional laws of evolution if you really think about it. We have the power to decide about our actions with regard to how it affects the environment. No other being has been able to do that on earth before. This nullifies your argument about us being evolutionarily superior.
Why should we preserve the environment? like I said, other humans should be able to experience it and I would like my children and their children to experience nature. I do not want them to grow up in an industrial wasteland. You may think that's ok, but I think that's disgusting, as well as cruel, as well as stupid, as well as arrogant, etc.

what is wrong with industry? it put the clothes on your back, the water in your pipes, the food on your plates, the electricity for you lightbulbs..
there is no possible way for humans to stop depleting natural resources it is just impossible the only real solution is if we all died if you really want to save Earth you should just go on a killing rampage

What I am saying is I don't want my kids growing up in a country such as china - smog, overpopulated to the max, crowded, NO NATURE, etc.
I AM NOT SAYING there is no way to not deplete resources. I'm saying CARE about nature, protect it as much as possible, don't waste resources, and appreciate it so it can last as long as possible.

China? Wow i guess you don't really know your stuff. Yes, China has smog and overpopulation, as does every other industrial country.
but if you think China has 'NO NATURE', you my friend are stupid and ignorant. China consists of huge forests, lakes, rivers, etc. where do you think most agricultural produce comes from? China all of this IS nature isn't it?
have you even been to China??? if not, quit using Western assumptions to stereotype a country you probably know nothing about.

Dude I'm talking about the most industrial depths of china, I know their country contains nature. I am telling you I do not want my kids growing up in an industrial wasteland like that of china's.

Others are in it for themselves and could care less. I choose to be the former.

China is not an industrial wasteland...
you should just stop using China as evidence to support your claims...
I'm FROM China. I came from the province of Hunan. There is nothing but farms, grassland, hills, and trees there, except for the occasional big city. Yes, of course there are industrialized cities such as Shanghai, Xi'an, Beijing, etc. But other than a couple of large cities, China is far from being an industrial wasteland.

Atheist said: what is the difference between a dolphin and any other animal on this planet?
its just a big fish if you ask me, but i disagree with some of these guys saying 'fuck the ecosystem'
and the 'who the fuck cares'-type attitude is really, really cool....
Animals at the top of the oceanic ecosystem like sharks, whales, and dolphins don't reproduce quickly like the lower animals. So when humans kill these giant things, they go extinct VERY quickly because their gestation periods are very long and they cannot keep up with the amount we kill. Whales are 9 months or so I believe. Sharks take long as well.
I took a course on ocean science a while back and the professor dedicated an entire week to the peril of the oceans. It's amazing how many species of whales and dolphins are about to go extinct. Over the years fisheries have been taking the "good" fish at the top of the food chain for us to eat, depleting them to no return, and then moving down to the next level of the food chain to lower grade fish, and so on, and so on.
In a matter of decades, like 1 or 2, we are seeing entire species of marine mammals go extinct at an alarming rate. Most countries agree to international rules because they are civilized and they realize how valuble these things are to our oceans but misguided and greedy countries like china and possibly the netherlands or greenland or iceland (can't remember which one) continue to hunt against the world's majority consensus.
Once these top predators become extinct, the things they eat explode in population (ex: algae - which can then grow to enormous sized plumes and disrupt oxygen and nutrient availability in the area for the ENTIRE marine ecosystem in that area.
Killing a few large animals (in the human race's case, thousands upon thousands every year) in the ocean has a profound affect on the entire ocean, which in turn affects our climate, etc. The world is one big motherfucking amazing ass network of reactions that were all designed over time by selective forces to work correctly. When humans come along and tamper with any of it, we completely interfere with that system. This is inevitable but we need to interfere with the system as little as humanly possible, so that animals can continue their lives while we rise above evolutionary forces and use our minds to literally decide and control our own fate. With any luck we can preserve the planet and populate every motherfuckin place in space. I say luck because then the earth would maybe be preserved. The population is not stoppin. But then we'd have to worry about interplanetary wars. =)

Because the technology gained in the last hundred years alone has had an exponential affect on our capabilities to wipe out entire areas with fishing trawls as well as mass numbers of animals being killed.
Before it was just a few humans doing it sustainable. Then it became industrial and nature cannot keep up with that.

Yes. We are. But we are at a point where we are KILLING nature. Why? Because of our actions. So what's the solution? Fix our actions. Otherwise, what? We won't have a clean planet with life to enjoy anymore or to support us.

Humans are smart fuckin creatures homie. We've created all this technology that has improved our lives but damaged the lives of everything around us. However, technology is improving at incredible rates and I think we'll be able to correct many of the problems we've gotten into buy using technology itself. As for the dolphins... its a shame. They're pretty cool creatures. Hopefully that shit stops. Some of the people on here are seriously lame. I think they like the attention they get being bad guys haha PEACE outro

It's really not that tough a concept to grasp. At all. As in, it's something an 8th grader can understand.
Not to mention I'm educated in the area anyways.

Considering dolphins are more intelligent than humans, I'd say it's pretty fucked up. But we do the same shit to humans. If not worse. The violence just needs to stop period.

Japan alone isnt the greatest threat to the dolphin's survival as a species.
If you actually care about the dolphins, and are not just swept up by some extremely biased information, take a look at whats happening to the oceans as a result of our industrial activities.
Japan wouldnt hunt any dolphins if they thought that their survival was at risk. That's obviously against their best interest. Same thing as the whales.

I don't care about animals, I learned a long time ago that I'm better off worrying only about the things that I can control. The destruction of the environment is inevitable, we need resources to live and as these resources are taken away we must find a substitute to fill the gap in the system.. I'm excited to see how much this planet goes to shit in the next 50 or 60 years. Either way, life goes on..

perhaps because "clearing off" is not such a smart thing to do after all.

Because maybe they learned how to live in harmony with their surroundings and are just a victim of an ignorant and overpopulated species that hasn't. Is it hard for you to grasp the concept of animals living in harmony with their ecosystem if they don't have "powerful" human brains?
