To an inquisitive mind open to honest reflection, the value of every species is incalculable -- The intellectual value of species to humans stems from our unique character -- The fate of life on earth hinges on property values -- Humans are poised to destroy the resources of a world of bountiful interest -- Property ownership and the desire for money work against the interests of species -- Free market environmentalism places profits above the public interest -- Species have no direct claim for consideration in an ethical community -- What kind of humanity do we embrace?
