Nearly every species that has ever lived has gone extinct. Nothing bad really about this fact.
However, the reasons for the current extinction period reveal some pretty nasty human traits.
Declaring a species endangered often seals its fate, because it usually initiates a run on the remaining individuals by poachers, collectors, snake oil salesmen and decadent big gain hunters.
The other main reason, of course, is the loss of habitat.
Both showcase human greed and selfishness.

Makes you weep so so sad Lets hope that technology may find a way to bring some of these amazing creatures back, especially as some of them may have held secrets to combating certain diseases like the Tasmanian devil which is in the news at the moment.
It's a great shame that other creatures don't become extinct and I invite you all to add to the following list of things that should be extinct:-
1) Paedophiles
2) Wasps (yes paedophiles you are less worthy than wasps)
3) Isis (looking quite promising at the moment)
4)
