This is a sad milestone:
Only seal species to vanish due to human impacts

"Humans left the Caribbean monk seal population unsustainable after overhunting them," Kyle Baker, a biologist for the National Marine Fisheries Service, said in a statement. "Unfortunately, this led to their demise and labels the species as the only seal to go extinct from human causes."

I blame Bush and his KILL THEM FIRST BEFORE THEY KILL US mentality. He probably decided to shock and awe them.

I dunno. I know people think seals are cute and all, but I don't think they're cute. I think they are kinda scary. It probably goes back to that day when I was five when my family went to the beach and Carribean Monk Seals killed my dad.

I'm such an idiot. I thought this was going to be about some monastic sect no longer sealing letters with wax. What century do I live in?
