Dolphin extinct, Star Trek IV inevitable?

Animals were going extinct long before the human race was a factor...
Funny. I have one stuffed and mounted on my wall.
They tasted so good.
Haven't several species been declared extinct in the past only to some time later to have one just turn up?
My 8-year old has been rather upset for weeks since he learned about this dolphin species and that it was too late to do anything about it. I guess it's official now.
I hope everyone realizes "dolphin safe tuna" dosen't mean there's actualy dolphins IN/not in the tuna.
Riverine ecosystems are usually the shortest-lived of all, considering how rivers themselves are among the shortest-lived geological features. So extinctions in a river may be good indicators of pollution levels or such, but probably not the thing to be the most concerned about. When species start dying out in stable, non-isolated ecosystems, though...
Four more freshwater dolphin species to go. Plus some others that tolerate rivers.

Yes, but what if there's been a geometric increase in the extinction rates since, say, 1900?
And people die all the time. Which is why I'm all for de-criminalizing murder.
The last time the world saw a mass extinction on the scale of the one we are all causing was 65 million years ago. Hooray for us!
Because it's just so kewl to be callous about the devastated wreck we are rapidly making the planet into.
Our grandchildren will look back upon our oh-so-hip disdain from a salt water saturated world of weeds, rats, roaches and mosquitoes and say "dude, those guys were so rock and roll!"
