Shouldn't you sit up and take notice, then, when mass extinction occurs 
within a much smaller scale than a single lifetime?

If a species has been dying out for several hundred years, and we're 
here to witness the end, it's one thing.

If a flourishing species suddenly drops dead one day, that's completely 
different.
