I agree, humans are more important than animals, unfortunately there are some that disagree.
This 'radical right winger' works in the Environmental Consulting Industry. One part of my job is to oversee remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, so I do know first hand the impact of people not being good Stewards of the planet.
With that being said, what we see now for the most part is that we are cleaning up the past sins of the industry instead of present sins. Not that the sins don't still happen, humans can be slobs and lazy. However with the new regulations and the very hefty fines levied out the petrochemical industry tends to follow the rules for the most part.

  I still get miffed though when people whine about drilling and removing crude from the ground as if there is a guarantee of a Biblical disaster and would never agree to have anything like that around THEIR areas, yet they have no problem with the 'southern' states doing it because after all, why would those in other parts of the country care about the south being trashed as long as we keep sending them what they need.
