Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for October 04, 2022

If you kill too many things, there won’t be anything left to kill.

Not really complicated. A few of the smarter apes have realised that if the not so smart ones continue, none of them will have anything nice anymore

This always brings back – Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical. – Dr. Gillian Taylor: Whoever said the human race was logical?

To exploit our environment to the point that even we can no longer exist in it is pretty stupid, too.

Actually it’s quite simple, not complicated at all. We do need to protect the environment from ourselves.

If we don’t protect it, somebody will figure out how to make a buck from it, probably destroying it in the process.

Hawthorne hasn’t said anything at all during this trip. Is he okay?

The other day I read that that Chinese fishing fleets have almost decimated the fish population in their national waters, so now they’re overfishing the ocean in other parts of the world, especially in the waters of developing nations in South America, Asia and Africa, often illegally: https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/04/08/illegal-fishing-and-physical-violence-life-aboard-china-s-devil-vessels-revealed-in-new-re

It’s basically a wildlife preserve: just add water.

In a way it’s saying: “Please don’t make mess in this small area, but feel free to bugger up the rest of the planet.”

AND it doesn’t always work…..

Sherman should be up to date here! After all, he has those profitable fins!

Unfortunately not all of us respect nature.
