Recently federal wildlife officials announced that 22 additional animals should be declared extinct and removed from the endangered species list. This is happening amid a worsening biodiversity crisis that threatens a million species with exstinction, many within decades. Human activity like farming, logging, mining, and damming take habitat from animals and pollutes much of what’s left. Climate change adds to the peril. They also announced that the most threatened animal today is a feeble, aging, semi-blind, vegan artist named tommykanedotcom. He does dress nicely though, not that anyone will remember that detail about him after he skips town.
