Depends how it happened

If it was killed by a wind turbine generating "green" electricity then it bothers me a lot.
If it was killed because it ran in front of a car and it was an accident it doesn't really bother me.
If it was killed by a hunter just for sport it probably bothers me.
It also depends on what the animal is and whether it's really endangered or whether it was just classified as endangered to stop someone from using their land, etc.

Because it upsets ecosystems already endangered by human activity

Do you think it's OK to kill an endangered animal for food

Not all species are created equal.

Is your criteria based on intelligence?

8/1/15 10:08am

Negative.

Do you have an objective criteria to determine which species should and

I should elaborate. I'm a fish biologist.

What species do you work with?

Primarily Colorado River basin species.

about 1/10,000,000th as much as aborting babies and selling their body parts

Bluforever

8/1/15 10:31am

Yeah, and 1/10,000,000th as much as beating and robbing old women does!

You're cheapening the significance of the abortion and Planned Parenting issue

SoCalCoug

8/1/15 11:39am

Should he have said 1/10,000,000,000 then?

8/1/15 11:53am

No, they're completely unrelated issues. He's using the abortion issue

SoCalCoug

8/1/15 12:09pm

Of course they are. A lot of the people apoplectic over the lion are just fine

depends on the species and circumstances of the killing

Kinda. I think you probably have a personality disorder if you routinely do it.

8/1/15 11:08am

Snakes, sharks, spiders, and lawyers endangered or not are inherently evil

I wish mosquitoes and ticks were endangered or on the verge of extinction. I'd
