...Maybe it is a good thing that the moon has no wildlife. Despite our progress in some areas, we persevere in our slaughter of this earth's creatures. Whether it be the killing of leopards or baby seals or alligators or whales for economic reasons or the killing of thousands and thousands of sea fowl by unnecessary dumping of oil wastes at sea, this planet's wildlife suffers unto extinction at our hands...
