[edit] Salmo trutta fario

Fluri (Revision as of 01:07, 1 January 2006) changed Salmo trutta fario into Salmo trutta. I've changed it back, because the official Dutch 2004 Red List of Threatened Species, published by the Dutch government, list this lost animal as a subspecies, namely: Salmo trutta fario. Salmo trutta trutta (Sea trout) could previously also be found on the Dutch Red List, but has been removed in 2004. Pmaas 19:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

I think the current name of this article is badly phrased, whouldn't it be better as List of animals extinct in the Netherlands since for the most part they are not extinct animals, they are animals that don't occur in the Netherlands anymore.--Peta 02:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

That could be done, I have not really an objection to that, but than the same has to be done with the other countries, as they also start with "List of extinct animals...". Peter Maas 15:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
