Surprisingly, they are overlooked in discussions of Arctic species threatened by global warming. We tend to talk about penguins and polar bears, but these guys are important too.

I don't pay as much attention as I should by watching regular television networks or reading newspapers or magazines that reflect the zeitgeist, but I do get snippets. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight with you, then you win. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).

I'm not sure how this fits into my support of animal rights though.

In the e-era now, print magazines are going the way of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
