I feel as a Canadian senior that increasing protections across the board for species at risk in Canada is totally essential. Animals are not like humans. We can pack up and move to new environments at the drop of a hat but non human creatures are basically married to their environments and if their environments are damaged they are damaged and possibly eliminated. They cant just pack up and move. For instance woodland caribou feed only on lichen on the bark of trees and on the ground and if the forests and habitat they rely on for that are destroyed in the name of industry where do they go? They cant collect welfare. Same wiuth BC wild Salmon and resident orca whales. Their environments are being threatened by careless human activity. We disregard their needs to serve ourselves even though we could use alternative activities we dont. We choose to destroy their environment to serve our industrial passions and if find this wholly abhorrent.
So I endorse and support wholeheartedly increasing and improving protections across the board for all species at risk. We humans do not have the right to interfere with other creatures habitat to the disregard of them as we so commonly do.
