Nothing new under the sun

"For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. 

The Cro-Magnon who slew the last mammoth thought only of steaks. 

The sportsman who shot the last [Passenger] pigeon thought only of his prowess. 

The sailor who clubbed the last auk thought of nothing at all."

- Aldo Leopold

Maybe Aldo spoke too soon. Maybe, when there's money to be made, there's nothing new under the sun.
