Why is it that this division is being encouraged? Could it be that it
suits industry to have all environmental groups branded with the same
regulationist interfering brush in order to stop the real message (ie:
wake up! the world is dying) getting through?

We get diverted into stupid arguments about rare species and it becomes
ok to kill everything else (until they too become rare) even for the
most trivial reasons. If we don't stop indulging in luxuries soon we
will all be wiped out and it will be our own fault for being not good
enough as a species to make it in the world.

Shame we are taking most of the other life with us too. But wild earth
is infinitely stronger than our arrogant leaders, and if we don't get
rid of them soon and start living properly, things will be sorted out
without our input. I don't need any experts or leaders to tell me
everything is in hand. I have eyes and nose and ears and I can see quite
clearly that it isn't. Ordinary people need to start to take
responsibility for their own lives and actions, not handing over OUR
power to a bunch of imbeciles in grey suits.
