Question : Should an animals life have an impact on our decisions such as building a retirement center?
Suppose a developer wants to develop a retirement end-of-life health care center outside Houston, Texas in the last remaining habitat of the Houston toad . If nonhuman species have only instrumental value, should the toad’s habitat be saved? If nonhuman species have intrinsic value, could any development proposal that usurped its habitat be morally justified?
Ah I absolutely agree that more buildings are unnecesary, and is destroying the environment, but I was just wondering if the are ANY justifications, if at all?

We don’t need any more buildings. What we need is more animal sanctuaries, forests and clean water. We’re killing off the polar bears, the lions, birds- pretty soon the only place to see animals will be at the zoo. Find an existing building for your stupid retirement center.
this would be a different situation. but builders don’t want to do this alone they want to just make more housed and big buildings for the MONEY. even so this question could be taken in a different way in witch I’d say they do. I’ve been to a lot of retirement places that have different types of animals from dogs and cats to lizards. do they not have an effect of the people that live there. there is nothing wrong with building but it is the way we are doing it that is destructive to the environment. their many debates going on in Y/A and the world about this and I agree that we need to stop invading and build over all of the abandoned buildings that cover half of most big cities.
