chris packham, a naturalist and nature photographer who did work for the BBC said that he would "eat the last panda if I could have all the money we have spent on panda conservation put back on the table for me to do more sensible things with" and that the panda should be "allowed to become extinct" because the cost of conservation is so high. again i ask: why is the extinction of a species (or in this case, some members of a species) automagically "bad"? can good not come of it?

i do i think funds should be appropriated with more bang for the buck. pandas are cuddly though and people like pandas, so they spend lots of money on them prolonging their existence. are the subspecies of black rhino from one part of africa cuddly? no. so would it have been worth it to save the subspecies?
