jeremy clarkson long live extinction
Dear Mr Clarkson,
I have recently read your article ‘Stuff the Tiger – long live extinction’ and disagree strongly with the views you put forward. Your arguments are unjustified and the examples you use to demonstrate are faulty and contradicting to each other . In this article, you have mentioned how extinction doesn’t have any impact on mankind. Also, your opinions were based upon natural extinction and Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest instead of human intervention. I would like to address what I believe to be the main problems with these arguments in a way that would help enhance the understanding of the motivation and purpose of conservation work.
Biologists estimate that the rate of extinction is at least 1000 to 10000 the rate before humans were seen on planet earth. This shows man-kinds impact upon nature and us humans are responsible for it, We as an understanding species should address this situation, By not knowing the difference between the concept of natural selection and humanity’s hand in shaping the environment would allow your conclusion to continue, What I believe the main problem is the way humans think of this and the way they react to it.
The impact of the extinction of wild life varies between the different species. If a predator becomes extinct the prey might overrun an ecosystem. If a prey animal becomes extinct then the predators will starve it is all intertwined together, to make life balanced and we should not change the way of life is and we are tipping the weight at the other hand of the scale and makes it go out of control and when things are not in order they are in chaos. You also stated that “there are plenty more fish in the sea” and assumed that since there are a lot of other animals that exist, it wouldn’t matter if one was wiped out off the face of Earth. This phrase does not apply to this situation because each and every animal is unique and plays their special part in the ecosystem and also the environment.
