Where do you line up on this issue? Do you consider yourself a species below that of other animals, equal to or are you top of the food chain? Once you answer that question, answer this one.
I have been reading and hearing about places in the southeastern United States where they are running out of water. An example of that is the city of Atlanta. Last week one report said that the city of a few million, had about a 90-day supply of water left. Today, I learned that the reason for that, other than just lack of rain, is that officials will not allow water to flow in certain places in order to protect certain species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
My question is to what extent do we protect endangered species? Will we put the health and well being of humans at risk in order that we save an endangered species? Think about it and respond below if you would like.
