@keithyoung I love this post. Sorry for telling you 3 months later, but I think it's the best thing I've read all day. :)

not to be racist but this happened because a certain group of people from europe decided to hunt everything they never had before, just saying.

[vvh473v3r]

@shadowgun22 The Elephant Bird and Haast Eagle weren't killed by Europeans. Every and any civilization that has expanded has effected, and, in most cases, destroyed the surrounding ecosystem.
