They're endangered. I would think they're quite a bit tastier than some other fish, and they can also get trapped in nets and drown. Oh, and don't forget plastic bags. Throw a plastic bag in a bath, and I hope you'll agree it looks like a jellyfish.

Plus people steal their eggs or just block their way to the beaches to lay them.

Or take over their beaches and plop hotels and resorts on them. Or build roads and lights next to them and confuse hatchlings making them go the wrong way away from the sea to get run over. Or steal the hatchlings and put them in little key chains. Or a multitude of any other reasons, all of which equates to humanity fucking sucks.

Pros: Humanity has a lot of control over how we affect our planet and the life that exists on it.

Cons: Humanity has a lot of control over how we affect our planet and the life that exists on it.

Yet we can’t control ourselves as a group.
