I agree with what  he says. Editing makes things seem real that arent.

Yeah plus constantany pitching the absurd notion that somehow extintion is a brand new and horrible devlopment. Extinction is precusely how mother nature has worked to preserve life on earth for millions if not billions of years. It's how life adapts and 99.9% of every species that has ever existed on earth is now extint. The ultimate foolishiness is how our government protects and fenses off some idiotic obscure pup fish that lives in one single mudhole out in the middle of the desert somewhere that mother nature clearly has slated to fade away into extinction.
Crazy but not stupid!

Problem I have is these DNR or these State run Wildlife Managers who *import* invasive species to "replace" something that died off a long time ago.  Idaho is overrun with larger, more aggressive wolves,  Wisconsin suffered from Chronic Wasting Disease because 2 DNR wardens imported deer from Colorado thinking they'd breed bigger Racks.  It's rare something like that actually works out with destroying something native to the area.
All animals are created equal; Some just take longer to cook.   Survival is keeping an eye on those around you...

No doubt anything we do to try to make things better results  in a worse result.
