What's with the anti-human attitude? Sounds like a lot of the commenters here would rather kill 1000 humans (but of course not you or your family or your friends, maybe just some Spanish fishermen?) than the same number of orcas.


you've got it backwards: Earth is not a zero-sum game.

"we'd be better off with fewer than 8G people" is not advocating murder, either.


What’s with the human centric attitude? Do we own this planet or are we one mammal species on it currently driving the other species towards mass extinction?


If the trolley problem you're presenting is 1000 orcas or 1000 humans, I'd say it's a no-brainer that the orcas should be preserved.
