How do we address the false altruistic sentiments of those who oppose the extinction of ‘exotic’ specimens, whilst prolonging exploitation in other forms of human activity? Is the extinction of one class of animal worse than the domestic overbreeding of other animals for mass consumption? ‘My extinction is just a precursor for your extinction’ aims to remind us of this paradox.
