The Pharyngula blog on Science Blogs has an article about some philosophers take on Biodiversity. I am horrified at what goes on in philosophy departments, personally.

It seems that the philosopher wants to gently destroy all predators, so that the prey animals won't be subject to the agony of being killed by the predators. I find it hard to believe that anybody could seriously suggest such a thing. It is one of the more ridiculous proposals I have heard of.
