      Not talking about the artificially created species, that’s a separate issue. More things like overfishing. And hunting of other species that are endangered but not as cute and lovable.

        Overfishing is horrific, but people get up-in-arms about whales because cetaceans are basically people. Think of the dumbest human you know: they’re about as smart as a typical whale.

        Overfishing is far less likely to wipe out an entire genus and what endangered other species are you talking about?

        All cetateans are being wiped out. Not just one species of whale.
