Poisoned, over-farmed, polluted, heating and no signs of stopping, just getting worse. Keep skull f**king, raping and viciously murdering and mutilating that chicken, humanity.

That's not actually true though. We cause a lot of problems sure, but without us who is going to stop the asteroids?! Regardless, everything on this planet will die eventually whether it be a fiery death caused by the sun expanding or who knows what else.

FTA: "A report released Thursday noted high levels of cadmium, aluminum, chromium, lead, silver, mercury and titanium in tissue samples taken by dart gun from nearly 1,000 whales over five years."

Why do I feel like someone's going to have the bright idea to set up a whale mine?
