"How about pangolins then? Or giraffes? I know, let's start a moment to protect all endagered species - including whales!" How is this "all endagered animals matter" a bad thing?
For what it's worth, I don't object to either "all species" or just whales. Regardless of whether someone is trying to protect all or focus their attention on one specific species, they're both working towards a good cause - though I do disapprove of the former trying to substitute the latter or vice versa.
> Just do something for endangered species then. The problem with your entire line of thought is, that you're trying to make it seem like we shouldn't allocate more resources to pertinent causes. Save pangolins (and smallpox) if you really care about them.
I agree - this is exactly what "all endagered species matter" is is doing.
> What is it about whale penises that's causing all this jealousy and needless arguments about semantics?
This notion of jealousy of genetalia is something you brought up on your own initiative. Also, how is it relevant?
Endangered species matter. I've never seen an animal rights activist dispute the fact that endangered species matter more than the rest. What is the charter of "All lives matter"? What is the objective output of that movement other than negating the fact that endangered lives matter more?
