Re: Kill the buggers
"Why is that, I wonder? some other animals and birds use tools - is that natural? a termite hill - is that natural?"
What the animals do is generally is for survival, much of what we do ends up being used for destruction ( thanks to the Military and the endless greed of governments/politicians).
Most of what the animals use will inevitably end up back in nature and reused within a very short timescale..nature regenerates... Much of what we do will end up back in nature and might be useable again in about 50000 years but might also destroy all that is in the near vicinity ( What is the half life of uranium/plutonium)..
The animals don't wantonly poison the earth, we could give a fuck as long as money can be made from our exploits..
Have you ever seen the size of the mines in South Africa for exampe.....even the largest trucks, which are huge, appear to be tiny next to the mountains of earth that has been excavated.....
We have literally become more powerful that nature, we can indeed destroy the earth many time over, when the American government decides that it is time to depopulate the earth we will quickly learn how much wanton destruction we are capable of....
I do not believe that animals take pleasure in destruction whereas we even go so far as to pay to do it.
Ad infinitum.
