That gets me a little mad. It's like hyper-marketing except you're playing with entire ecosystems here. There's a little blurb in the most recent Time Magazine. It's something like 1 in 6 mammals are going to be extinct in 20 or 50 years or so.
I'll have to remember to look at it at work and write down the numbers. It's very disheartening.

That was a very informing article, and sad too.
Thanks for posting it.

No problems.
A very long time ago, I heard about this experiment done with paint. There was a paint shop that had a slight off white paint colour. They took have the cans and relabeled them to state "off silver" and kept the remaining half as "off white". Needless to say the "off silver" sold out while the "off white" remained unsold - even though the paint was exactly the same paint and colour.
