your sympathy, or how much it feels, or even whether
it can feel at all: respect it and consider all life sacred."

Only after the last river has been poisoned.
Only after the last fish has been caught.
Only then will you find that

Wildlife extinction and the "tidal wave destruction
that continues to sweep across the world" where
it has been estimated that up to one million species
have been made extinct in the last 300 years is like ...
"rivets popping out of a jet aircraft.
You could remove a few rivets and perhaps
nothing will happen,but eventually
one rivet too many will be removed
and the whole plane falls apart and crashes".

Paul Ehrlich
