Find Something New? Kill It & Place in a Jar!



http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=113721



Here is a link to an interesting news article I stumbled across a few days ago. It's about some sort of mystery animal found by some kids in Panama. Long story short, they ended up killing the unfamiliar creature.

What if this was the last one of its type? What if there will never be another creature like this on earth... ever! It seems like when people do not understand something wholely they react adversely. The same thing happens when scientists find a new species. Instead of studying it in the natural habitat, they capture, kill, and jar the specimen for later study.
What do you guys think of this article?
