Red Abalone have been with us for a long time, and if we don't completely destroy or contaminate all of their natural habitat or eat every single last remaining specimen on the planet, a path that we have long been on in regards to not only the Red Abalone but a number of other varieties as well, they will most likely continue to exist for quite a long while, possibly longer than we will if we don't stop destroying ourselves as well. They have managed to stick around for more or less a couple of hundred million years since first developing into their current form, and for all we know may be a long lost ancestral cousin responsible for spawning some obscure form of primitive prehistoric organism that later developed into us.
Were we to be put on trial by Red Abalone in a courtroom under the sea, we would probably not fair so well, and not for a lack of oxygen, when we could assuredly compensate for by using the same kind of scuba technology that we have been relying on for decades to completely gut the Red Abalone population off the coast of California. Red Abalone have a right to be angry with us, it's not their fault that they don't have the capacity to verbally express their frustrations, so it's up to us to extend the olive branch, or kelp strand of peace.
