You are given $1,000,000 dollars each time you kill off the last of an endangered species. Do you do it, and if so, what's your strategy?

I’d kill off 8 endangered species if I’m being honest with you. 8 would satiate a very comfortable future for myself as I could live off $100,000 a year for the next 80 years which is a very decent living.

The trick is- finding species that are “not going to be missed that much” like kill a fuckin bug that’s endangered like the “Hines Emerald Dragonfly”..? Is that important to any ecosystem? And think long and hard about that. Maybe introduce a similar fuckin dragonfly in to replace them as an invasive species to boot? Who cares there’s millions of species of dragonfly.

Then get rid of pesky shit, some kind of endangered bird that shits on people’s houses or whatever. Then find out how to bait the fuckers, and blow their heads off with a rifle.

People are gonna be all “you monster! How could you have hunted the “American Burying Beetle” into extinction?” I’d be like “how could you not? Why would you preserve these fuckers in captivity? They’re ugly as sin and they just take up space.” Plus I’ll have $8 million and a nice house on Nantucket. Blow me.
