Too sad to even watch. When a species goes extinct, we all lose. Of course some people don't give a shit.

For the first time since the dinosaurs disappeared, humans are driving animals and plants to extinction faster than new species can evolve, one of the world's experts on biodiversity has warned.
Conservation experts have already signalled that the world is in the grip of the "sixth great extinction" of species, driven by the destruction of natural habitats, hunting, the spread of alien predators and disease, and climate change.
However until recently it has been hoped tha More..

The species is not extinct, George was a subspecies of the Galápagos tortoise and anyone who has ever read Charles Darwin will understand why this subspecies is now extinct. Species going extinct is part of the evolutionary process including those affected by other species including man.

Shame about George. I still despise text-to-audio even if it does sound marginally more human.
