Contrary to much thinking, "extinction" is not bad. It is the natural course of nature. Most species that have existed on Earth are now extinct. The planet seems to be doing fine.

And if you're worried about bird extinction, witness the Canada goose. Once almost extinct. Now soiling lawns and golf courses everywhere. The best part: they taste like liver.
