It is remarkable, that after millennia of working to tame our surroundings - animal, plant, weather, etc. - there are those benighted souls who take protecting those things to extremes.
Feeding bears in suburban New Jersey? Can any rational person THINK of a stupider thing to do? Don't shoot deer to reduce their number? Do you LIKE the ticks that infect you with Lyme disease or that special look in their eyes as your car makes contact with them?
And don't get me started on rabid environmentalists. Although I actually applaud Greenpeace chasing whalers, you can take PETA and the EPA aside and shoot them. Neither seems to know the meaning of "point well made" or "job well done." Their mission is apparently endless intrusion, not realistic goals.
There are even Curmudgeons who respect wildlife and care about the environment. But we differ in that we have the common sense to draw reasonable lines - after all, we are all part of the formula. Get used to it.
I know - let's tell the EPA that PETA uses red dye #2 in the paint they throw at fur coats.
