Giant Toads and Colossal Squid
In the Colossal Squid article, it was said that the "creature" is to be "preserved for scientific study", and that the catch "adds immeasureably to our uderstaning of the marine environment."

Now, after all these unnecessary creatures killings, hole drills, specimens raids, expeditions of virgin terrtitories, all in the name of science and wanting to "understand our environment", have we really understood anything?
What does it mean to have "understood something"?
Our knowledge base is more horizontal than vertical. Increase in breath of knowledge doesn't necessary make us a deeper nor wiser.
We have expanded our horizons so much and have known so much more factual knowledge about our environment than our ancestors could even imagine. Yet, we are living more out of sync of nature's rhythm than ever. What for?
Chimps Make Tools
It shouldn't come as a surprise that chimps can make tools. After all, we are pretty closely related. Once again, this proves that we human are not the only ones who had this kind of intelligence. We came from long chain of evolutionary trials & errors. If we can come this far, it is a possible for other species too.
