For the fourth time in its history, the Endangered Species Committee met Tuesday to decide whether to grant an exception to federal animal protections. It chose to allow oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico to operate without regard for critical species, such as the Rice’s whale.

      Well, same god that killed all but a handful of humanity and all but two of each animal, so… Don’t make appeals to their mercy or empathy, they have none.

        I mean they’re not building a giant boat to put the whales in, either. Seems like they’re OK with killing them all this time.

    What’s persevering the life our Christian god made vs drilling the demon essence out of the ground to continue destroying the planet for (check notes)… for those quarterly profits! In fact, im sure god will reward us for it! Yes, yes.

    That is pure definition of Capitalism - Capital is absolute suveren, all hail the capital, the more you have it-the more you want it. Nothing can stand in a way of making more Capital. Humans, animals, planet, techology, even God and religion, they are just means to gain more Capital.

      Also, it is capital now. It would make so much sense to make more capital by waiting, preserving and investing, but that’s not what capitalism does, only oil, money, now.

    They are members of the species Homo Insipiens.
    I reject the fact that I’m part of the same species like them.

    You know, I used to preach to the choir about the fact that monkeys are dicks.

    That’s old and busted now.

    Christofascism is the new hotness.

        As a secular humanist, it hurt me quite a bit to write that out, but it was rather speculative and I think rather accurate.

        If you believe in Jesus Christ, then actually read the things he said, not what they want you to hear.

    I hope the whale probe is real. Humanity hasn’t shown that it deserves to survive.
