“We’re part of nature, and ultimately we’re predatory animals and we have a role in nature,” he said, “and if we separate ourselves from that, we’re separating ourselves from our history, from the things that tie us together. We don’t want to live in a world where there are no recreational fishermen, where we’ve lost touch with the seasons, the tides, the things that connect us—to ten thousand generations of human beings that were here before there were laptops, and ultimately connect us to God.”
This feels very thin to me. I think that, at this point in history, humans have to worry more about fixing the many (many) things we've done to screw nature up before we worry about our "predator" role in nature.
