Quote by: Flip Jackson Oddly enough, I think he has a point. Why are endangered animals protected before they are born, but not humans? They both involve potential. |
Because, in the case of the Bald Eagle, which
were an endangered species, although they're now listed merely as "Threatened", when you threaten the lives of any Bald Eagle, born or unborn, you threaten the existance of
all Bald Eagles, as a species. To say nothing of the symbolic irony of destroying forever the very symbol of the power of the United States of America.
You can't say the same thing about humans. In fact, you probably can't say that about other animals other than those officially listed as somehow endangered as a species. Are pigeon eggs protected? Robin eggs? Duck eggs? I doubt it.
You're talking apples and bullfrogs here.
