Sept. 24 Class

One of the questions in this chapter is "do we have ethical obligations to other species?" The obvious answer is yes. Humans have come along and have caused so many issues on this Earth and didn't even realize we were doing this until the 1960s or 70s. We have harmed the Earth and took part in causing the extinction of many speices by overharvesting and polluting. We have learned that some steps were taken early on, but humans were still and still are permitted to do things that destroys the natural habitats of many species. This is all making me realize the importance of the sciences that study what causes these things to happen and what can be done to stop or slow the process. These beautiful animals such as the polar bear, panda, and tigers should not have to pay for the human lifestyle.
