Elephants Increasingly Born Tuskless Due to Poaching

[AV1611VET]

If you had been paying attention to the thread, you would've noticed that I already said "natural" selection because the predators aren't deliberately trying to breed a certain type of elephant...

Now there you go with the propaganda, LOL.

They're not criminals? they're 'predators'?

Were Klebold & Harris just 'predators' demonstrating arti... er ... natural selection?

And in fact, didn't one of them wear a shirt that said: NATURAL SELECTION?

Having difficulty staying on topic, AV? The topic is hunting, not criminal activity... that's why this is in the physical and life sciences area, not the politics forum.

In the barest technical sense, poachers are hunters which is synonymous with predators.

Yes ... evolution blurs the line between hunting, mathematics, school shootings, and poaching; just to name a few.

No, it doesn't. You really seem to have a big problem with basic English.

Why?

Because I see this thread as promoting an article that propagandizes evolution?

There's no propaganda except inside of your own head. The article is simply stating a biological fact: that through natural pressures, elephants with tusks are being replaced by elephants that do not have tusks because of human hunting.

I'm sorry, but you're how old again?

Why is poaching a crime if it promotes natural selection?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Why is poaching a crime if it promotes natural selection?

Because natural selection doesn't lead to the wiping out wholesale of animal populations in a little under a century just for a single part of the animal.

Maybe they need a better dictionary then, eh?

Either call a poacher what he is (a criminal), or don't venerate him as speeding up natural selection.

(And for the record, I still say it's artificial selection; but what do I know?)

No-one is venerating poachers. Where has anyone on this thread venerated poachers?

No, because you're using it to promote your disingenuous agenda... fortunately, you're not very good at doing so.

Nowhere but in AV's agenda.

You mean evolution describes actions in the natural world without making moral judgments?

Must everyone and everything do your work for you?

Like abortions?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Like abortions?

More like things that are relevant to the discussion.

But if you insist on going down this rabbit hole: Science can tell a person how to perform an abortion; Religion can tell them not to.

Our guys did their job; yours dropped the ball. Whose fault is that?

 

[AV1611VET]

Science can tell a person how to perform an abortion;

On what?

(Please answer this honestly.)

 

[TLK Valentine]

On what?

(Please answer this honestly.)

On a woman. Honestly!
