So this is just a random observation, but as everyone knows, one of the concerns regarding global climate change (or global warming, whatever they are calling it right now), is the concern over the effect it will have on the polar bears. And the global warming proponents (by that I mean the people who believe in global warming) have really found a great mascot with the polar bears, as they are so cute and cuddly-looking. "Save the Polar Bears!" is the message (nevermind polar bears are man-eaters and very vicious). Nonethless, well it's understandable still that no one wants an animal like polar bears to be harmed by global climate change if it is really occurring.
But what gets me is that most of the people soooo concerned over the polar bears probably wouldn't give a damn if they were instead of bears, big hairy giant polar spiders. For example, imagine if there was some gigantic polar version of the tarantula, with long white hair, the same size as the polar bear, except instead of looking cute and cuddly, it's a monstrous eight-legged, hairy, multiple-eyed arachnid. Imagine trying to do the marketing over that! Many people would probably think, "Global warming will kill off the polar tarantulas!? Great!!!"
Yet the polar bears, which are killers just as much as spiders are, get a pass, all because they are furry and cute-looking.
