A tragedy for the world of science and for everyone generally; and a stark reminder of how things can be destroyed so easily and thoughtlessly just for vanity (private collections) or commercial exploitation without need.

Makes you wonder which federally protected lands may be deauthorized in the future
It is sad when you cannot even depend on things like this to endure, why would anyone have any faith in any positive thing the government passes today when a change in administrations can roll everything backwards, so that everything is just a constant cycle of one step forward followed by two steps back, of constantly forgetting any lessons learned from history once history recedes more than 5 minutes into the past, and then repeating the same mistakes again and again
Or history is even completely erased from any history books when the supposed free-speech crowd, with the most exteme of irony, finds history inconvenient to their regressive agenda
There has to be something better than democracy, US-style democracy in particular is the defintion of an unreliable partner that will be here today and gone tomorrow
