After five years of futile efforts to find or confirm sightings of any Caribbean monk seals — even just one — the U.S. government on Friday announced that the species is officially extinct and the only seal to vanish due to human causes.

Stuff like this, where humans are the cause of the extinction, makes me angry. We got to realize we are not the only important animals in the world!

Aww
I love seals.
Its funny how the human race fear extinction, when really we deserve to become extinct. Would be the best thing for this planet tbh.
Just because were the most intelligence species *known*, it doesn't give us the right to extinct other species.

bet's on the next extinct animal :S

There's plenty of other seals left.

Course they don't care, but they will give the impression that they do. Giving all this "poor old seals" ********.

well it has to be 5 years since a sighting to be classed as extinct, and it would have been at least 5 years previous of a low number so not a lot of people would know about them.
