Although I appreciate the work of some scientist doing good jobs, wasting pay for scientist is not okay. Serious scientist do not wear apparel to "appease pagan Gods" which I found highly offensive. I also disapprove of any scientist feeling entitled to take hunks (small in your opinion) of any animal, mammal, or species in order to suit our human needs. How are you to know that doing such doesn't cause infection? Sometimes I wonder if the trauma we put the investigated species under does them more harm than good. A lot of money as they pointed out, but really what was the main point? Yes we are suffering from global warming. Money would be better spent to make changes to prevent global warming.
