Just like people, animals vary in their ability to adapt. Squirrels, rabbits crows etal, have a proven ability to adapt and thrive reasonably well to
changes in their environment,and reproduce readily. No danger of extinction there. However, generally more highly evolved mammals are less adaptable
and more sensitive to human interference. Wholesale slaughter of any species will eventually kill them off. Haven't seen vaquitas recently? Not many
to be seen. Your other critters will likely be here when we are not.
BTW fishbuck, I agree that Sea Shepard actions are needed as we have reached a point where very direct action is imperative to save the remaining
vaquitas.

Why don't they clone them? Maybe 3-D print a couple hundred?

Well 40 year old women are having babies these days, why not in vitro a few hundred more of these lil guys in the wombs of dolphins.
The idea of using U.S. Navy trained dolphins is quite intriguing also, I mean who'd have thunk it, G.I. Flippers.
But realistically, it is likely too little too late. Just a last ditch money grab aimed at unrealistic tear-jerking soft targets and government
grants. I hope I turn out to be wrong. At least something is being done, and attention is being brought to the area.

Maybe best to do some preemptive protection for the remaining species that promise virility to the prehistoric Chinese mindset.
Better yet...boycott everything made in China to deprive them of fun tickets used for species demolition. I mean...Totuava Bladder? This is why the
Vaquita has been wiped out.
Control the living, cuz you can't control the dead.

Good point Dennis.
Maybe someone can clone Totuava bladders or breed them in captivity to flood the Chinese bonerito market so they aren't even worth the gas for the
fishermen to poach them.
Where do they come up with this stuff? Did some "wise" man with a fu man chu stache say that some fish bladder helped him have kids in his seventies,
and it just caught on years ago. Bear gall bladders. Tiger penises or whatever it was. Weird stuff.

Rhino Horns are going to be the demise of that species.....not if, but when.
So sad.
